Time for a new saw

[geoff]

Not that I've had the pleasure of using one but from skimming many threads on here the last few months, people are absolutely loving the echo 620 at the minute. Only thoughts from me, are parts easy enough to get ahold of?

 

Yes,but you might need to get them posted from main dealers,I checked this out and was told most are in stock, just some non service bits might need importing,so a couple of weeks,against a day or so:001_smile:

Unbeknown to Echo newbies, you won't need any parts... Well I haven't for my CS600 in 6 years. And yes Chris Walker - it has cut thousands of tons.

I have already the 6100, on a 20" bar for Arb work. I was only looking at the 50cc saws as I feel it would be a bit 'armsy' for all day. Maybe I should drop a 16 on it and see how it goes!

 

I'm assuming that the 5105 be a good replacement for the 550, I have lost faith in the reliability of the 550.

 

Cheers for the replies!

 

No matter what is said the 5105 is a good match , replacement for the 550 :thumbup:

Second that. I've used both. 5105 has sparkle and guts where 550 passes out.

Why?

 

Yea ...Why ?

362 is a good saw until it's plunged into something that uses up most of the bar. Then you have to start manually sawing

If dolmars are so good why aren't there many/any suppliers in the UK?

Genuine question. I mean they have been around for donkeys years but you just don't see anyone selling or using them.
