Echo challenges the Stihl top handles?

[WoodED]

the vid makes it look like any other saw out there... even the 'clear veiw ofthe bar and chain bit' well i would hope so.

think the two could contaminate each other to easily.. ie if u over spill the oil tank and have a nice coating of dusty oil aroung the fuel cap

 

Depends if your using the spill control spouts like your suppose to?

 

How much is the price difference compared to 201t?

 

As for the husky, I'm waiting for a while to see reviews before. There last one didn't get very good reviews from what I've read.

I think the Echo power tools are fine, not tried the saws but the trimmers are excellent, so if they've paid as much attention to the toppers they should be good. I think I have a local Echo dealer too, othr be worth a look at some of their other saws too.

You've tried a 355T ?

 

Oui but not for over ten years.

I agree, the trimmers are very good.

If any of the above happen its operator error.

 

I take it its okay to have muck around your caps then if they are 8 inches apart?

 

Being sloppy about filling up and not cleaning around caps prior to filling is bad practice, let alone shows what regard staff have for equipment IMO.

hi all i have used these saws in the past and realy like them plenty of power and usability and cheap to i can buy one from dealer brand new for 325 pounds and if you have it serviced in the first year they are giving you 2 years commercial warranty

my point is when u work for a big company that shares 2 top handled saws, you might keep it clean,, but others wont. i keep a paint brush on my combi can and brush the caps everytime i fuel them...

but you will force maximum capacity timber through a PTO chipper for a laugh?
