Bucket Hooks ECHO Chainsaw

[Baby Grand]

I have an old, abused 14" echo that never fails to start - usually on the first tug.
It's a great little limber and very light, which is helpful when working in tight quarters.

I have two Stihl chainsaws, one Echo chainsaw and an Echo weedeater. I think Echo is far better then Stihl in every regard. I'll never buy another Stihl. While the two I have are good saws, they ease of starting the Echo over them means that when they die, I will replace them with Echo.

I sold Echo products many many years ago. We had very few warranty issues with them and they're very easy to service if they do need repairs. I've still got an old CS 60 chainsaw that hasn't been manufactured for probably 20 years that is still running strong, an older model CS 400 and a newer CS 550P. The only real problems I've had out of any of them would be with the gas lines breaking down because of ethanol. (not a big deal to replace) They always start easily, run good and cut even better. I've seen no reason to even try any other brand, as these do all I expect out of them. I also used Echo gas trimmers for years, but finally went to another brand because it was a 4 cycle, so the only time I have to worry about have a 2 cycle mix is during the winter months. If Echo ever comes out with a 4 cycle trimmer, I'll have one of them too.
Good stuff

Echo is generally a good saw. The new ones have the same problem as all the other new ones: EPA has made manufacturers lean them out so much to meet emission standards that they run hot and at less power than an equally-sized saw from just 5 years ago. My little Echo CS-360T is a great one-handed top saw. I have an OLD Echo CS-510EVL that is a monster, and I run a 24" bar on that one. I've put about everything new in that saw over the years. New plastic tanks, on/off switch, fuel lines, rear handle, stuff like that which is from lots of hard use and the crappy fuel we make now. Keeps on a-runnin'. The Stihl MS391 I bought new, runs OK after it gets warmed up, always takes 5 pulls to get it running when dead cold. 1 pull after warmup.

Have the CS345 and the CS 520 for years, best saws I ever owned. Also got a trimmer, 2110 I think. Going on 12 years with that.

I've got a CS-370 saw and a SRM-225 trimmer. Neither one has skipped a beat. Starting the saw: prime, choke, two pulls, push in the choke, third one starts right up. Warm pull about 4" cord out and shes going. Trimmer pretty much the same....Mike

I have two echo saws, a backpack blower and a string trimmer. I only run echo oil (in case of a warranty issue) and premium gas in them and have never had a single problem with any of them. At this point I have no reason to shop any other brand.

My dad 20 years ago or so bought a 4600 series Echo chainsaw after selling old Homelites for years...
Excellent quality that is comparable to Stihl and Husky...
