What a freaking salesman. :lol:

 

I use my echo ppt 260 extended all the way out and yes it does get heavy after a few hours. Like new trade in and love it. Wouldnt trade it for anything.

But no way in heck am I going to try some freaking contraption that cost $360.00 and walk around with it cutting. :thumbdown:

 

I own the older echo 8000 and like it but heavy for a 81cc saw. Took in trade.

 

Own a older 6700 67cc echo. Took in trade. Reminds me of the husqvarna 365 special in weight and balance but little less power.

 

Got a little top handle 341 used cheap. Decent little saw and ok to 1 hand with. Liked my 338 better for 1 handing though.

 

All echo chainsaws need a muffler mod and carb retune to wake them up IMO.

 

Some of the newer echo's I would look at are the 590 600 620 355T 550 271T 500 680 800

As long as you have your health insurance in force and your not concerned about future problems with your hands arms shoulder and upper torso in general you would not be a good fit for my product. You know what is best for you and my customers already know and are great full to have made the decision and investment going forward. It's not bragging when it's true:thumbup1:

Take care

Had a echo 4500 45cc and it is pro grade like a OE 346 and cc. Feels, weight and balance the same as the 46cc 346. Runs the same too.

 

Echo 5000 nice pro grade 50cc I would take over the stihl 026 260 saws any day.
