Echo cs620

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

I know I'm harping on, but it really is a lovely saw, reminds me a bit of a smaller version of the Stihl ms460, but with a more refined build & handling.

 

A high accolade indeed.

 

2 saws back (600-610-620), I raved about the CS-600 on the "hell of an echo in here" thread. The 620 must be a dream...

I have had a few saws in my time, early days with this one but I think It is likely to become very well regarded.

I just bought one as I needed a new saw to cope with regular use on big wood. So far I am impressed - I'm not a pro but I do woodland management around 3 days a week and have been using various saws for over 15 years and still have all my fingers and no scars (had some near misses and learned from them) . It's powerful in comparison to my 18" Hitachi CS45EL which has served me well and still has a use in some situations and, to be honest, I find it just a tad scary which is probably a good thing as I treat it with great respect. By heck does it cut well though and will probably get even better once bedded in. I did think it heavy when I took it out of the box but as mentioned earlier once it was assembled the balance was very good. So far it seems reliable, well-built and powerful.

I'm more than happy with it.

good man BobbyDee, I'm really enjoying mine, it is bog standard at the moment, but might get some exhaust mods when I get my head round it, though to be honest it cuts well enough as it is, they do take time to bed in & give their best, mine has maybe 5 litres through it now.
