echo *CS-390ESX experience

[geoff]

That's good service Greg, I got a price at my local dealer of £370 inc vat, sound fair to me.

Gave the new saw a good run today and this one is spot on. From Forest and Arb for £350. Great service!

I'm ordering mine tomorrow, thing is I will be paying twenty squids more,but no postage etc, and it will be run up on aspen,my tipple of preference.

 

God knows why I'm buying it now with my ankle cattle trucked, but it will give me something to pet on these cold nights.

Ive been running echo saws over 10 years now and can't fault them i have a echo brush cutter that is 12 years old gets plenty of abuse never had a blug or air filter and still runs sweet

How would you guys that use the 390 rate it as a coppicing saw as at the moment I have a 560xp which is great but a little overkill for small (sub 6" diameter) hazel/chestnut cutting. Thinking that a nice light nimble 390 could be just the tool but don't want to spend out on a saw that isn't up to the job

I'm looking for a new light saw to partner my 357xp, what's the recommended bar length on a 390?

Thx Cdo

13 or 15 inch are the book choices:001_smile:

Are these coming with rim or spur sprockets? There seems to be a choice when you delve into google images...

 

MOTOSIERRA FORESTAL CS390ESX/38 cm

 

Another plus point imo - this saw has a 2-ring piston...

I'm not sure on the sprocket,but will find out when mine arrives In a week, 2 rings is good!

I would definitely recommend one. Its spot on with a 15" bar and is happy fully buried in the wood. Its comparable to an MS241.
