Just another junk chainsaw

[xyz123]

I have owned several stihls over the years and still own a 261cm and 026 Pro. I prefer Husky for any of the newer saws but the 400 sure is tempting!

You see the new Husqvarna 564xp to compete with the new 400.

Should be interesting and 564xp fuel injection.

If you want a light, easy to use top handle battery saw, get the Echo 2500T. Just got mine and I can use it easily with one hand. Light and very well balanced. Got mine on ebay. I have other echo battery tools and I am very pleased.

Weigh that thing as used please. Batt in b+c on with oil in it.

 

[walhondingMF]

Yes I

Are you the one that just bought a 2500 top handle saw? If so could you put on a scale with battery and b+c to see the weight as used.

I wish they would do the rear handle of that one. For wife
The rear handle one they have now has crap reviews compared to their 2500 TH one.

The TH 2511 is 8 ounces oe .5lbs lighter then this rear handle PHO.

Then ready to use full with 12" nano.

My clone 2511 too few ounces more then oem because of extra bar stud and nut.

Yes I will have to get my hands on a scale. I can tell you this, it is very light and well balanced and I have no problem using it with one hand even extended. The listing on it is claimed 7.3 pounds with the battery and oil full.

So it weighs more the the 2511T. I am not a fan of battery saws because I want to just refill and go verses waiting on a battery to charge. But I cut 100X more wood than the average guy does. The 2511T is so light and punches well above its class.

I'd love to get my hands on the 564!

With both tanks full and b+c on 2511 will be about that too. Lighter nano set up

So 2511 TH 7lbs something give or take.

 

[xyz123]

Crap forgot I have clone weight which is 2oz more then oem PHO because of bar stud and nut extra for 2.


Thats full as used 12" with little heavier 3/8LP 12: set up.

Thank you dead on with 2511 TH and rear handle. 7.3lbs = 7lbs 4.8oz by paper. Great.

One with nano 325 and other was with 3/8LP which is heavier set up and both 12"

What does 2500 come with? 325 nano or 1/4" mini micro.

From what Echo claims it is a bit heavier. I have used an older echo gas top handle and a stihl top handle gas. I personally just didn't think the 2500T felt heavy in any way. Very easy to use with one hand. Maybe its just the ergonomics and the balance of the saw. In a week, I've used it roughly 3 times now. Ran a partially charged battery dead twice but wasn't surprised by that. I was bucking up 6-10 inch dead sugar maple, ash and sassafras. Not a job you would do with a top handle saw but it was just fine. It will be on my atv or tractor anytime I go to the woods. I see myself using it a good bit around the garage as well.

I find this suprising they would put 3/8LP which is heavier set up n the echo 2500T.

@walhondingMF is that what it came with. Man a nano 325 or the 1/4" mini micro be the cats meow on that battery saw and less strain on it.

Mine came with a 3/8LP oregon chain. Looks like it can be bought with a 1/4 option but not what mine was on ebay. Sawsupplier.com sells a nano .325 conversion kit that I am considering.

Was just going to show you one of the guys I buy from was Steve.

Nano IMO is best of both the 3/8Lp and 1/4" mini combined. I even bought a set up to test on my 200T clone the G111.

I saw a guy on youtube that bought this kit and he was impressed. Its on my list to purchase especially when I start using the saw further from home. The more power I can stretch the better.
If its a saw you are looking into for your wife to use, I say go for it. It was initially my plan to use this saw for my son (he's 12) to run a saw. The safety features of an electric and the weight are appealing to me for this. But I see myself using it far more then I thought I wood. I am in no hurry to get my ms170 tuned up right now because I have it.

The Echo always goes back with me when I am out.

Very similar set up to me now except my little saw is battery. As I have stated before, I love my 562.

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30+ saws but the 562, 2511T, and the Echo 4910 typically always go with me. My 4910 probably gets the most use as I just love that saw. But it's pretty tweaked and absolutely screams.

@Hay Dude so far the Farmertec stihl version combi fuel nozzle works flawless and easier then the oem husky version. When pushing down very easy to flow fuel.

It dont have a lock and unlock feature or clear fuel site line. But works great to date.

Also needs the nicer closed style tool and chain, parts holders like oem husky. I'll come up with something for them.

Test on stock Farmertec G111 200T clone getting closer. With spark screen system removed so another outlet there.

Going to make a loop of stihl 63PS3 bring it is faster bucking them my 63PS. Tested before and Is what It Is off the roll.

That way the Oregon nano 325 set up being new loop too.

Thinking testing on either 8x8 old dry square pine cant and or round maple.

Love this nano 325 043 on the echo 2511PN 25cc.
I want to see if it can do the same on 35cc. To see where it's cut off point going to be.

I’ll probably switch to one of those after my $49.95 noxzzle replacement breaks.

They use the normal nozzle on the oil like I use on my husky one. Just so you know.
