Echo CS670 price?

[Builder]

Just found a nice used Echo CS670 with 24" bar. Runs great, starts easily, sharp chain looks like it's been used very little. Picked it up for $175.
Does that seem like a good deal? I thought it was.

Sounds like a real good deal to me. :thumbsup:

EXCELLENT:thumbsup:

Current model, and 67cc's:thumbsup:

And probabally about a $600-$700 retail saw new:thumbsup:

I'd give you $200 for it right now

The only "problem" I've found so far is the guy put Lucas in the oiler and it didn't want to pump out when it was cool in the morning. I opened the oil cap and let it run out for a few hours, then filled tank with stihl B&C oil. Works fine.
Feels torquey. :thumbsup:

Definatally a good sized all around firewood saw. What are your plans for it?

Allthough I have never ran the 670, I like these sized saws for firewood. Like The dolmar 6400/7300/7900's, Stihl 441 and 460, Husky 372, et al.

The guys that like the smaller 50cc saws as "all around saws", like the Stihl 290, Dolmar 5105, et al, must not cut as much wood as me.

and the bigger saws, like the 066, 385xp, 395xp, etc IMO, for my cutting style, the little more power doesnt offset the added weight.

For power/weight ratio, you cannot beat these mid 60's to upper 70cc saws:thumbsup:

LD1, My plan was to use it for firewood and reaching to the ground without too much bending.:laughing:
If you recall, I had just scored a Makita DCS6401 with a 20" bar. Love it so far, but wanted to put a 24" B&C on it. Then I saw the CS670 on CL and thought "for $175, I can have a complete saw with 24" B&C for $175."
So I have added 2 60-70CC saws in great shape to my current saws for ~$475. :thumbsup:
I haven't even tweaked them or messed with carbs yet. :laughing:

The 385 was not much more powerful than the 372 but as you state, it weighed in more. Once you jump to the 395, that is a saw with a better power to weight ratio and is a definite and worthy step up from the 372.. I believe the 385 is no longer available.

385xp was replaced by 390xp

I forgot you got that blue 6400:confused2:

You'll have to let us know which one you think runs stronger. And feels better (anti-vibes).

The 6400 is quite an impressive saw for being only 64cc's:thumbsup: It will flat out toast anything that stihl makes up until the 441, which is 71cc's

I have a Echo CS 670 one of the best saws I have ever owned easy to start runs when you need it has power to spare I have a 24 and 20inch bar i run a skip tooth chain it has some problem with chain oilier I use stihl bar and chain oil problem solved I have a farm boss also there is no comparison between the two

Never much cared for my Farm Boss. Great name, cool looking, but not a pro saw by any means. Somebody else has it now (stolen). Hope it runs like **** for them. :laughing:

Yep, I think they are a dud of a saw too.

After haveing run one, and then grabbing a 6400 dolmar, it is really hard to believe that the dolmar is only 7.5cc bigger:confused2:

I have a farm boss use it for trimming trees much lighter than the 670 but not the saw the 670 is but for a good running medium saw hard to beat what hinders you on farm boss is the 325 chain if it had a 3/8 be much better the old ones did I think they were a better saw

The MS290 is 13lbs PHO and 670 13.2lbs PHO

310 390 same saw with bigger bores then 290. You put 24" 3/8 on them and real heavy as well. They dont wake up till you muffler mod and do a carb re-tune. You have to pull the H limiter.

Not my saws, but 2 I just went through for a guy. I also put a 460 rescue handle on the 390 and MM and carb.

My 670 echo is a great saw I thinking of buying me a smaller echo for trimming and sell my 290 farm boss I think ill buy and echo with a 3/8 chain though as I like it better seems to hold up better for me in hardwood
