    Can I get some thoughts and opinions regarding Echo chainsaw?

    I think it's important to spec out your use first. For smallish trees and not too big pine up to 10" pretty much anything will do battery or gas. A 25cc to me is more for limbing than bucking. If you are cutting 20" oak or Ash, that won't do it in a reasonable time frame. So what are you...
