Which Echo machines do you use?

[woody paul]

I run a CS3400 top handle 16 years old runs a treat well balanced lacks the punch of a MS200T but will still punch its way through a 12 inch lump of timber a little slower than a MS200T but it gets there.

It's never had any major problems with it.

Thanks again for all the replies and information.

 

I am just giving this a bit of a bump as it is something we will definately be going with in the new year.

Mark I may be after half a dozen CS280wes in the new year. My local chainsaw dealers doesn't stock echo and its a tractor dealers who really aren't interested (and probably dont know which is the dangerous end) is my other option. My CS270 has done a bit and we need a load of smaller saws for scrub cutting as carry bigger saws about seems a bit pointless for stuff upto 6" in diameter. I will give you a ring next week on prices

Not used much yet but recently bought the following,

 

Echo CS-450ES

 

Echo CS-360TES

 

I was considering the CS-620SX but now also looking at the new CS-501SX or a Dolmar.

 

Should say I don't have a lot of experience of different saws.

CS360 TES 2 years, very reliable, although don't see why it has to have a primer bulb, 200T doesn't need one

 

SRMF250L strimmer/ brushcutter, was dear 400 odd, but done 5 years with switch repair, new plug and air filter, again excellent reliability. Good on fuel for lawn edging and strimming where the mowers won't go (up to .5 acre sometimes)

At the moment just the cs 360 tes for us,only had it a couple wks so far so good,our next saw will be either the cs 501 or 620,no auto tune for us.

Just ordered the new CS501sx from my local dealer, as it's a bigger version of the 390 which is superb and my go to saw.

[Midge]

Iv have a cs 420-es, which is a nice little saw. I'd like more Echo equipment (hedge cutters, blower, strimmer etc.) but as I can't afford to buy new, and there isn't much second hand Echo stuff about, isn't going to happen anytime soon!

260tes which has been abused for 3 years and still stronger and faster than an ms150t, 280wes for carving, 360tes since release and apart from making a mistake and bending the bar a couple of weeks ago it's been faultless and very strong, 620sx, just love the thing. Quick cutting, bags of torque and we'll balanced, what more could you want. Looking at giving the 260tes an easier time when the new one is released
