They are lighter than the Stihl as well….

 

Fully fuelled.

And filthy.

 

 

I do hope you cleaned up that k.scales like I hurriedly did! 🤫

It's all they hype of marketing in reality.

The 151tc has the same power as the 2511 and is a better saw yet people still buy the one that people post bull about so it is what it is.

I'll be staying with the Stihl as it suits the job I do and will last longer by far.

 

 

It doesn’t have the same power, it’s far weaker in the cut.

It’s not a better saw.

It wasn’t actually marketed very aggressively, some of us non-brand junkies just accepted it as a better product.

 

You should actually try one.

 

’32 years in the industry’ blah blah blah.

I know loads of old hacks who have been spouting shite for 32 years.

Does that make you right?

 

You insisted the 151 is a lighter saw, fully loaded.

I called your bullshit and you simply ignored it and moved on.

 

You stick to your 151.

You must earn hourly rate.

Spec sheets for both saws match on power and if you look I agreed the echo was lighter but it's still sh1t in comparison to the Sthil 😬

I don't do hourly rate ... Well I can work it out probably but I just take wages....😂😂😂

You didn't agree. You dug your heels in time and time again and were proved wrong.

 

Your just chatting rubbish because you like the attention.

Check post on page 7 ...

 

Poppet,....😂

[Joe Newton]

Yes. You kept up your bullshit until you were proven wrong.

 

No point replying to any more of your posts. I'm already thicker for the experience.

Yawn.

I suppose most of us are conservative with a small c,and tend to stick with stuff we know and trust.I've not bought any echo stuff over the Years,but come close a few times.I will say,I have rarely-if ever heard anything bad about them.Most of my stuff is Stihl and I've probably spent say 10 grand on their small engined stuff and (generally) its been pretty good.However,I dislike the way more and more of their brushcutter/big backpack blowers are going 4 stroke-they may well be perfectly fine-but I simply dont want them.If I'm left with no choice of 2 stroke options-then husky/echo will get my business.

You are.

Think how good you could be with an Echo….

I thought about buying an Echo to make me a better climber but it's too late as @Rich Rule says I've been turned homosensual by touching makitas.

 

Done a search, nearly as many 151/2511 threads as 261/550. Plenty of videos, this one shows the 151 improved 35% by the exhaust mod and just behind the 2511

Oh God,given all my carpentry/decking construction tools are solidly Makita-I'm deffo a raving homosensual!Thought my Customer was giving me funny looks out of her window when I was 'Erecting' her new shed-now I know...
