Echo CS-390ESX vs CS-450

Tomorrow... You're keen aren't you!

 

Yes

Not being funny but what's this with wanting a quick pricing query answered by email?! Just get on the 'phone. You can talk faster than you can type for starters.

Out on site with barely any signal. They open later than I get there and close before I leave.

 

I reckon the main man has been on holiday or something. Before 7am this morning I got an email back saying they can't match the internet price but can do it for £399inc - that'll do, I've ordered one from them.

 

Happy now R Mac?

Well done, see how easy it was with a little help from your friends

It's certainly easy to get very poor very quickly when you have a bunch of forum friends egging you on. I spent a grand on a new rifle last month after talking to some American lads... what's next I wonder?!

For the 390, it'll be fine with a full skip

That'd go nice on my CS501 :thumbup:

I bet it wouldn't even spin the chain!

 

Actually, I quite fancy one of these at some point... ECHO CS-2510TES Top Handle Chainsaw - gardenmachinerydirect.co.uk

Oh, what a pity. Does that mean I've got and excuse to buy a CS620ESX?? (Then I'll take the 24" bar off the 501 and put the 20" quarter tip running 1/4" chain back on it)

 

As far as the tiny Echo is concerned, I'm just waiting for the rear handled version to be released. It will make a superb detail saw with an .043 1/4" bar and chain. Already told my dealer I want one as soon as it is announced. :)

As soon as there's a hint of an excuse to buy a saw, go for it! My CS-310 is quite a nippy little saw for what it is but it starts to struggle a bit when you get up over 9" or so. Maybe not struggle, but it certainly slows. That was enough for me!

 

R Mac, have you managed to get out and give your new 501 a good beasting yet? I'm keen to hear what you think of it after you've used it a bit. I'm assuming you're waiting for a 3/8 sprocket to run your Sugi bar?

 

Edit... I've just noticed we have exactly the same post count, but you joined five years after me. I really must try harder!
