Echo chainsaws

[mark84]

Hi

Just had a Stihl ms250 die and the boss wants to replace it with an Echo saw. What are peoples opinions on Echo chainsaws? I think he is looking at either a cs4400 or cs5100.

 

 

Thanks, Mark

My first top handle was an echo because i could'nt quite afford an 020 at the time & but i really rated the echo. It was'nt as powerful as the 020 but still had plenty of power. I got about 18months use out of it before part of it melted & diverted the oil flow onto the sprocket rather than the guide bar. I dont know about the models you've mentioned but from using the top handle i think there good.

We've been selling Echo for about 25 years now and the products they produce are excellent. Although we sell alot more Stihl, ask any of my Mechanics and they will all rate Echo much higher.
