Tiny echo!

Nice one mate, ta.

Same with the strop on the 540, but it's no biggy.

I use a small Caritool with the gate removed.

Do you not have the plastic high clip point on your T540?

 

The strop ring and the high clip ring are seperate

[Mark Bolam]

Yes, but still occasionally foul the strop on the Caritool.

If you ever come up with a solution to lanyards fouling on caritools, you could retire, buy a coke farm, and have all the young Puerto Rican boys you could handle.

 

You'd die of a heart attack 3 days later mind.

ROTFLMAO:lol:

Spoke to a gentleman from echo UK who sent across the updated lanyard clip, mine was one of the earlier ones with a weak clip, he said they should've all been recalled and corrected by now. Mark, I use a snap gate beener on my harness, clip the saw on by its handle, useful for not snagging the saw all over the place!

[Joe Newton]

I hang the 150 from the side handle onto a large caritool with the gate removed.

 

Can be a pain in a dense tree though.

Wisecobandit dropped by earlier and i did a couple of cuts thru 11'' beech and he was impressed by the Tiny Echo.

They are in nz, my dealer got to try one out as a rep was doing the rounds with one, one step closer! Pity it takes so long to wear out a 260t!

 

 

How well do you rate that 260 Timber? Looking at a second, lighter saw for my weekend work and don't really need the power or weight of the 201 or 540 as I have a 200t. Would love a 150 or the new echo but not sure if my budget quite extends that far at the moment, especially if the 260 will do just fine.

I really like them, for the money you cant beat them and they come up pretty cheap on trademe sometimes. Or mikes chainsaws has them cheap.

No dismantle saw but I had mine going through 10 inches of pohut without much effort today.

 

brake is a little clunky and it takes a little bit for them to warm up but other than that they are a gem to climb with.

 

worst thing I find with the echos is that the factory bars are so hard they are near impossible to dress with a file, I have to use a grinder at home to dress em, but being that hard its rare to have to dress them
