Echo 2511T is an amazing saw!

[MinnesotaEric]

I have a slight chainsaw addiction because I cut a LOT of wood...View attachment 848351 I only buy pro saws and tend to stick to Husqvarna and Stihl but have a few Echos, too. I recently picked up the Echo 2511T and it has became my absolute favorite saw to run. It is so small and light it feels like a toy but it's a little speed demon that will eat through anything you throw at it. Being so small, it's very easy to pack around everywhere with you. If you need a small and light saw, I highly recommend you give this saw a look....

Does it have an annoying delay on the trigger like the Dewault 20v saws? Dewault is the only E-saw I've used, and my buddy got it a few years ago and I'd rather use a gasser saw for anything more than mild pruning or my M28 sawzall with a brush blade for pruning.


But as I'm getting older (and weaker), I'm interested in alternatives.

This is a gas saw

Which chain and bar is good for the 2511T? Apparently, there's a nano version, a regular chain, and some guys are using 3/8 but .43 in place of .50 with a different bar?

My dealer wants more $ for the nano and bar, so now its like $550

The Nano version is only $10 more .

What bar length? I just checked one of the dealers I use. With echo bar in 325 nano 12" 510 shipped.

Goes up 10 for 14 and 10 more for 16.

You can get 10% off of that too. If you use his code or ex-military. I have standing 10% off due to military service in past.

HD had the saw + battery + charger $499 for the DCS-2500T ($560 tool only, yes more - new list price); $660 for the same thing in the nano (DCS-2500TN) - $570 tool only.

I've had this now for a few days and wrote a bit about it here.

Yep. $509 is $10 more than $499. That includes the Nano bar chain and sprocket.

(list price from Echo site) I got mine for 15% off during Echo sale.
