New chain saw

[Couldyajust]

I use an Echo CS-8002 with bars varying from 16" to 28". Never bogs down in fact bigger timber is where the torque kicks in & it really comes into its own. Had the 28" bar on today ringing up a 40" Oak butt & a 5' Beech which had both gone over in the wind. No problem whatsoever going through them. To be honest it would probably pull a bigger bar with no problem (in the USA they recommend up to 36") but I have never tried it with anything bigger than the 28" bar it was originally supplied with.

 

Mine came from Abbey ordered over the phone & got a substantial discount on the web price & a load of extras thrown in. You also get a 2 year commercial warranty if you sign up for it on the echo site.

Sometimes it is worth paying a bit extra for a new saw rather than settling for a secondhand one as you know you won't have any problems with it.

Yeah I heard they're the same engines 365 and 372. How can I "grinding the transfer ports" or spud port out? sounds good to me haha. Right okay cheers

Would the Sugihara Pro Light bar fit on my husky?

Sugihara Pro Light for me . Full chiz chain probably Oregon or Stihl . Maybe semi skip if you are going to bury the full bar all the time .

 

As jon would say get a Rob D bar mate :thumbup:

Aw right good to hear that about an Echo CS-8002, will go look about for one and read up on it thanks

Another one to consider in that category is the dolmar PS-9010 which absolutely loves a 30" bar. :thumbup:

I have this bar on my 365

 

20″ Sugihara Light Type Pro ? 3/8″ pitch .058 gauge VT3U-8Q50-A | Sugihara Guide Bars

 

Excellent bar, improves the handling of my 365 as it can be a tad heavy

 

Spud port = Spudulike - member who provides first class service / repair & mods
