Dolmar or echo

[div_h]

I'm after a new saw just for cutting logs....I've got 2 old stihls I'm going to sell had good intentions of fixing these up and using them but have no time

 

I hear good things about both dolmar and echo so I fancy one of these 😁 Not after a big cc saw something with a 14" bar and enjoys aspen

 

Any advice is appreciated

Now that makes a change from the still or husky threads, but I think it will be a model specific choice from those who know both, I will go echo as it's easier to type mate, but will be interested in good replies along with you.

Probably a frontal lobotomy for excluding husky

The echo cs450 is a good little saw,and responds well to a slight exhaust mod.

Not really, my guess is a fairly predictable Husqvarna 550

 

Everything else is heavier, dosnt handle as well, or dosnt have the ST seal of aproval even if its nearly half the price like the Dolmar 420.

We need a "like" button here!

 

More serious, it depends on the exact models it is about.

Close to the truth, if this is about 50cc saws.

 

It may well be about something smaller though, and his ambition may be a bit lower....

 

If the 420 is relevant depends on what the options are.

I love a little light hearted humour.

Whatever's lightest and the most hp on paper cos that's absolutely all that matters. Always Husqvarna, only Husqvarna or die.
