Something you guys didn't mention was the difference in sprockets. Most pro saws use rim sprockets, while most consumer saws use spur sprockets. Rim sprockets seem to last longer, less chain wear and are cheaper to replace. In fact sprockets are one of the few differences between the Echo Timberwolf and Echo's more professional saws. Good job. All the top brands make some good saws. I have went almost entirely to Echo, but have owned them all. Been cutting for near 50 years. Interestingly most residential framing contractors use Echo. Very durable and can take the abuse of many different personnel using them. Echo home owner warranty is 5 years. Other brands are more high performance and cut a bit faster. But they usually cost more.
Yeah good points!
Need one of these high quality saws. It’s always easy to rationalize getting a cheaper one but we always regret it!
Yeah I hear ya. I bought mine at a big spring savings deal. Saved a few dollars
I've never once regretted spending more on a higher quality tool.
I never bought a gas chainsaw, when i was 15 i repaired 2 chainsaws, a stihl 010 av and a partner r17, built in the 60s and 80s, and since then they are running and running... old saws got so much power, and no safety :)
I have a lot of saws. Big, small, cheep, and expensive. And you definitely get what you pay for. I bought the 661 for the big timber but now I use it for everything. And the 20+ other saws just sit on my shelves.
I have a little 170, and a 271. I've been happy with both.
wow very interesting thank you!! (You should see the little junker we have here, free from a neighbor. and it looks like it)
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
I love the Echo chain saws I own two. They start easy and have never failed to start even when not used for long periods of time. They also have a 5-year warranty if not used professionally. Tough to beat. I have owned several other brands of chain saws and all of them were hard to start next to any of my Echo saws. The pro grades are a bit more but well worth it.
Go Echo!
I knew you'd like those!
Now here is a man after my own heart!
I noticed that Brandell keeps all his saws clean and prepped while Hank hasn't. LOL! Great video and thanks for sharing!
Yeah, he gets on me all the time about that😂😂
Hank, when you guys get done there pack them chain saw up and head up here got lot of wood that needs cutting, you guys can brake them in!!, great video!!!🍒👍
LOL. You got it!
Love the echo CS-590 Timberwolf. I use Stihl on my truck company at work and they are fantastic. I use Echo for my Lawncare equipment and have nothing but good things to say about them. The Stihl blowers are still a little bit better built. But the echo trimmers are far better, never have issues with echo start ups.
Right on👍 thanks for the comment.
I had a Stihl FS-56 which I gave away and got an Echo SRM-225......way better. As for leaf blower I have a BG-50, so yeah I can relate to what you say.
@@mf6532 i have an srm210 back when they had grey plastics. Love the old 2 strokes and echos LAST
I have a fair amount of wooded acreage and during good weather days I'm outside cutting trees and brush. I've been using an Echo CS-370 16" chainsaw for several years and it is an amazingly reliable saw. I've been cutting a LOT with it for 5-6 years and it never lets me down. But I cannot emphasize good maintenance whatever you run.
That's right Kevin. Thanks for watching 👍
I like how compact that little Echo is. Would be perfect to load on the back of a small dirt bike to do trail maintenance, without having to lug around a "real" chainsaw all weekend.
Yeah, true👍
I do have one of them and it's really fantastic for backpacking and portability. I mainly bought it for arborist work since it's one of the few single handed chainsaws so a guy can be up a tree hanging onto a branch with one hand and cutting limbs with this little saw in the other hand. I have a 16 inch bar on mine and it is still able to deal with softwoods like cedar. It is not going to compete with the larger ones in a normal cut down competition but that's not it's purpose.
I ended up going minimal and buying a Silky folding hand saw for trail maintenance on the bike. So far I'm very happy with it. Doesn't weigh down the bike at all, cost like 50 bucks, and took a 6-inch fir tree out of the trail in seconds.
@@JETZcorp after heading up to some trails near me with just a handsaw I’ll never do that again
@@blugods2655 The hand saw (if it's a really good one) is fine if you're going riding and might stop a time or two to conduct some maintenance. That's all I do with mine. If the mission IS trail maintenance, then forget about it; the chainsaw is 100% necessary to get real work done.
I like my Stihl’s, but if you take good care of any make, they are all good.
I agree. I do like Stihl cutting power💪
What comes to mind is that a lot more thought appears to have gone into the design of the professional saws. Things are suddenly in the right place, things make sense, things are convenient. There is no reason for a home owner to not enjoy all those same benefits. It was great to see a modest sized pro saw with all the nice pro features, without having to carry a 3 foot bar around. I like the 261C! :-)
Switched all my saws over to Echo years ago and really happy I did.
That makes two of us. I’m planning on going with Echo myself. Sthil and Husky are great. But you cannot beat the value and performances of echo.
Underrated saws the Echo ,but great value and well put together .
You guys make me want to buy a bigger chainsaw than my tiny MS250!!! Seriously, there is so few occasion where I would like a bigger saw! I like the fact the MS250 is light. Thanks for sharing!
Good evening Joe ! I'm just a phone call away when you will need a bigger chainsaw !!! LOL Cheers !!!
go see your neighbor!!!😂
@@HamiltonvilleFarm LOL !!! ;) LOL
@@seanf6632 Yes Sir, and very economical to run too and ergonomical since it's very light !!! Cheers !!!
Never shorten your chain if it has that much extra play in it it will wear your clutch drum sprocket out, you nerd a new chain. Use good heavy weight tacky oil to keep from stretching the chain. You can shake the bottle and if it sounds like water it is too light of oil. Best way to sharpen is a Stihl 2 in 1 sharpener. A good sharp chain is better than displacement. I cut 90% with a Stihl MS181C with a 16" bar. I also have a MS251C with a 18" bar for the bigger stuff but usually use the Smaller saw because of weight. I cut up about 40 ft of a 28" elm trunk in about 20 to 25 minutes with the MS181C.
Thanks for watching
I have a Stihl MS-391 with a 20" bar, Echo CS-490 with a 16" & 18" bar, Husqvarna 435 X-Torq with a 16" bar. I'm buying a Echo CS-590 Timber Wolf with a 20" bar this weekend to add to them. I am also considering buying a Husqvarna 450 with a 18" or 20" bar later this summer. I live rural outside a small Midwest town of 1,650 people. My house is surrounded by trees and I have a woods out back. Every time it storms something breaks off or comes down. I also use my saws at work in the maintenance department as well. We already tore up and wore out my old Poulan Pro 260 with a 18" bar and their Poulan 3314 with a 16" bar. I'm not messing with cheap saws anymore and only buy and use good ones. I buy them so they are mine and I can take them home anytime I want. They are cheap and would never spring for a good saw. Not like Menards where we have our corp account sells any good ones anyway. That would be Lowe's and Home Depot. I'm not buying anymore Poulan, Craftsman or whatever homeowner big box store cheap junkers no matter who's money it is.
I think as a homeowner it's better to buy something heavy duty and forget about it. Those big saws are designed for heavy use, and if you keep one around and only cut say once a month or so, that thing will last forever.
True, some of my saws are 20 years old, be sure and use non ethanol gas, that ethanol gums up the carb and eats rubber hoses. Hard learned and expensive lesson with my Stihl 660. I don't fall big timber too much and the saw sits for a few months sometimes Starbrite is an excellent fuel stabilizer, better than Sta-bil according to my mechanic, famous wrench who builds hot saws and racing snowmobiles in PNW. That residue has to be removed with ultrasound.
@@1cryinprofit I use 100LL avgas in my little stuff that is used intermittently. Leaves no residue and keeps for years.
My Husqvarna Rancher 460 with a 20" bar is all the saw I want to need. Actually if it's only a few cuts to clean up a fallen tree I will usually my 500mm Silky Genki Temagari arborists saw. For a hand saw, it cuts like a lightsaber, needs no gas or oil and can fit in a tiny space. It's ALL WAYS in my truck.
Thanks for watching 👍
You left out that both the Echo saws are actually professional saws not just saws with some professional features. The 620 is 4.5 hp, has a magnesium crank case and magnesium sprocket cover, a rim sprocket and inboard clutch, an aluminum handle and a cold weather shutter to name a few of the things you left off.
Thanks. I'm definitely no chainsaw expert 👍
Love this video Hank. I just interviewed our local Stihl dealer for our last videos. Thought they turned out great.
Thanks for watching 👍
I bought a Husqvarna 45 special back in1991 or so. I cut all my firewood with it and firewood for friends. I cut down many trees and it cut a lot fallen trees off my fences over the decades. It is always on the back of my side by side when we are on the trails as well. It has been a great saw for thirty years and i think it will last me many more. People are complaining about the "plastic" on the Husqvarna's but after 30 years of owning one i do not see a problem with it. For 99.5% of users it is more saw than they will ever need.
Right on!
I really like my Echo CS 400. I ran a Husky 435 for a few days and it has some nice features but i prefer the ECHO overall.
Yeah they are nice👍
I have your saw’s little brother, the Echo CS370 with a 16” bar. It’s a great little saw that doesn’t weigh too much. I’ve used it to cut down 8”-10” white pines up to a 24” cherry. It’s a great homeowner saw for limbing/trimming, storm cleanup, or cutting firewood for a fire pit. But if you heat with wood, I’d recommend a larger saw. But I love my little mouse that roars!
I had 2 Husky 440’s they made good boat anchors, but that was about it. They would run about 10 minutes and quit running for about 2 weeks, then would run about another 10 minutes
I've had my CS400 for about ten years and it's been great. I modded the muffler and adjusted the carb and it picked up quite a bit of chain speed. Great saw for trees up to 18".
I got greedy while bucking 36" logs for several hours and seized it a week ago- the oil I used was not my normal brand, or I just had it running too lean. Either way, I soaked it in penetrating oil for half an hour and it broke free. No appreciable loss of compression and it still runs fine. I've gotten my moneys worth out of it several times over regardless.
I’ve got a Cs400. It’s a nice, solid little saw for light work. Perfect for a homeowner who doesn’t have any big ideas, just for cleanup, small tree felling and bucking. I’ve actually pushed mine pretty hard. Did a few cuts of a pretty big birch, maybe 22” diameter. Was a struggle for it tho. Definitely not happy doing that.
I have 4 chainsaws at my 80 acre tree farm in northern MN. Stihl, Johnserds and Echo. I have owned several other saws over the years. Including Husqvarna, Homelight, and Poulin. In my experience the Stihl, Husqvarna, and Johnserds are a definite step up from the other brands. You get what you pay for so don't scrimp on a saw unless your use is very limited.
Thanks for watching 👍
80 acres in Mn!! Sounds like heaven!
Wicked good video! I have a stihl ms 170 , stihl ms 271 and Husqvarna 460. Each saw fills a different role. You guys did an excellent job of highlighting the different features of all those saws.
Thanks 👍
What role do each play?
Enjoyed the overview of the different chainsaws. I have two Stihls and have been very pleased with both. Thanks for sharing Hank and Brandell.
Thanks Terry. Have you gotten all the decorations down yet😊
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Hank, not yet but we have been working on them. Hope to be finished by the end of January.
I've got a stihl already for bigger stuff, but that tiny Echo would be excellent for trimming fruit trees.
Yes sir. Thanks for the comment 👍
I think I'm gonna purchase one tomorrow. I cut quite a bit of wood with a 440 Husqvarna. Some of the hedge trees i get into are pretty woolley. All the trim work with that 440 gets heavy. I really could use a good little light saw for that.
I love my Dewalt 20v chainsaw for small work like trimming. It's my go to now over my MS170 for small jobs
Just got one of those
Good evening Folks !!! Great chainsaw review !!!! Keep up the good works !!! Cheers !!!
thanks! Cheers!
I got a ms170 16 inch I use for firewood,milling lumber, cutting trees down it has plenty of power I love it no problems except the fuel and bar oil caps are cheap they strip out easily all for 170.00
Still rocking the 064AV! You guys did a great job here, look forward to more videos. Got any bow blades lying round?
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
I considered myself a Stihl guy, but the other day I grepped a Echo CS-400 from Home Depot, it felt so good in my hand, I bought it ! I absolutely like it, it's my all around saw beside my MS-211, and my MS-271 !
Right on👍
I loved my new 271 Farm Boss but went to an echo dealer and bought a cs590 Timberwolf and it's hands down a better saw than the bigger more expensive brands. It's a beast of a machine. Cuts awesome and has so much torque that it totally impressed me to the point that I'm buying echo for now on when it comes to saw
I put dual dogs on my 261 aswell, but I'm running an 18" Sugi bar on mine. The saw does not normally come with dual dogs equipped; you will have to buy that as a separate accessory. The only Stihl pro saws that come standard with dual dogs on them are the MS 362 R CM, MS 441R CM, MS 461 R, MS 462 R CM, MS 661cm, and MS 880cm. For anyone looking to add them, it will run you about $25.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm You're welcome, thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my comment! I hope you have a great day too!
I used Echo chain saws for 40 years, great saws!
One handed chainsawing? 🤦🏼♀️ but seriously that little echo looks just about my speed. I’m to scared to try our big Stihl chainsaw but Kevin loves it. ~Heather
Right on👍
Limbing saws are designed to be operated with one hand, it's not a big deal.
Captive nut on a chainsaw is a novel concept and yet no one ever gives a second that humans had captive nuts all along as a masterpiece of engineering! Imagine every time you undid your fly you lost a nut!
I caught this video my friend Hank. In my honest opinion, i really dont need an expensive one. As long as it gets the done, would be the important thing to me in my book. Those saws you guys got especially the big one your buddy has would work too lol. Thanks for sharing the comparison of saws here my friend.
Well said!
Stihl should make two stroke dirt bikes!! they would be great lol I still have my dads old farm boss and it still runs great cut many winters wood. It was literally ran over by a dozier heavy mud saved it. My newer one has never failed me as well for power and reliability its hard to beat a Stihl.
LOL. that would be awesome!
Sthil 025, its been a great saw. Just bought me thr sthil 180 easy start for limbs and light work.
Right on Allen! Good choice👍
I always liked my huskavarnas
Yeah they are nice for sure. 👍
I have an STIHL MS 150 T C-E ($500 top handle) and STIHL MS 661 C-M ($1,400 bigger saw), and a Coocheer 6200, (which I found new on amazon for $49.00). They all run great
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
I do garden maintenance so not a professional tree surgeon. I do occasionally take down a small to medium tree but most chainsaw work is logging up. A pro saw was not necessary, so I went for the Husqvarna 455 Rancher, it has all the power I need & has been excellent!
Thanks for watching 👍
I use chainsaws at my work everyday and Stihl and Husqvarna are only ones i will ever use.
But Id love to try Jonsered once,heard good stuff about them.
Thanks for watching Julia. I appreciate the comment 👍
Jonsered are basically a relabeled husqvarna great saws. The jonsered name is switching over to redmax since husqvarna group owns both names
Jonsered and Husqvarna used to have the same model saws. One orange. One red. Seems they would come down the same assembly line and either put red or orange plastics on them. Great saws.
I have three McCulloch saws. one small electric, one small gas, and one big gas. After 30 years they are still going strong.
right on!
I grew up with a McCulloch Mac 10-10 Wow! Fantastic saw
What's your big MCcullock saw? Just curious
Echo cs 590 and vs 330t. I believe you get more for the money with echo.
The echos are nice👍
You are right! I originally had that exact setup-590 and 330t. Sold the 590 and upgraded to the 620 (same saw, just mag clutch cover, aluminum handle, unlimited coil, and a few other bits and pieces) and sold the 330 recently due to non use after I bought the 2511t. I really loved both of them, and all my Echos, really.
TTWM I need an honest answer is there any hope for Hank to improve his welding and fabrication skills?😂
@@hphillips7425 sure. He just gives the stuff to me! But seriously, I think he does fine, certainly more motivated to do projects than I am! A done project is way better than unfinished or unstarted project any day.
@@hphillips7425 idk. I've had many years to learn to get this bad😂😂
This is cool thank y'all
Thanks for watching 👍 we appreciate it!
First 2 saws were Stihl 028 and 044 in the early 1980's. owned a LOT of saws after that but the last 2 I bought and the only ones I have now are Husq 435 and 562XP(ported). All makers have good and bad models. As a home owner only saw, the Husq 435 is probably one of the best made. Price/power for the amount of actual use.
Thanks for watching 👍
Love echo
Nice saws👍
I love the top handle echo. I use it all the time. I have cut down some pretty big trees with it.
Cool! Thanks for watching 👍
A few years ago I finally spent the money on a new saw got a ms460 I didn’t want to carry multiple saws and against the salesman advice it bought the small saw I have no regrets about it super light great for climbing with and has ok power I’m going to put a big bore kit in it. I’d rather mod the small saw than climb a tree with a big saw
Thanks for watching 👍
Who is this Brandel guy and does he know I’m your BFF? 😂
Lol of course! You know us grandpa's have to stick together 👍
Hello,
Absolutely love the video/rundown!!!
Question: On the echo 620p saw, where/which retailer did you buy the skid plate? Does it work well with the metal front handle?
Many thanks,
J.
Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about buying the MS 291. I have an MS 170, but would like a little bigger saw with the 20" bar.
They are nice saws for sure 👍 have a good one.
I have both those saws you won’t be disappointed 291 a beast 170 a great light saw for small stuff
@@atvrider028 I went to the store and they were running a special on the MS 271, so i ended up getting the Farm Boss 271 instead of the 291. So far I haven't been disappointed.
170s are good saws for bucking, small detail work, trees less than 10". Would recommend a 362 or 462 with the 170. The combo of those 2 gives the best of both worlds. In my 35 years of owning and operating saws Stihl has performed the best. Husky, handle falls off cutting tree down, Poulan, fast cutting but cylinder wears out after 3 years, Echo 3 year saw. My 361 is 20 years old, 026, over 30 years old. The tests these guys do on saws are not real world. Cut railroad ties, locust, brush, bamboo, huge overgrown shrubs with dirt and trash. Then tell me your saw is a good piece of equipment.
Still... cutting up your zombie-apocalypse problems for over 30 years! Lol
*Stihl
Lol. Nothing kills zombies like stihls's👍
I have a echo 590 that is a great saw !! Y’all should look into it ! I just started watching y’all’s will it start videos and love them ! Thanks
That is awesome! Thanks!
I have a Stihl ms 270 and really like it but buy a couple of gas and oil caps for extras because they seem to break after a few years of service. I heat with wood. I just purchased an Echo cs 490. Haven't got it yet . Nice video!
Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Have a good one
my favorite and best saw ever has been a Sthil 029 it’s a oldie without any safety features similar to that lightweight Echo you guys had as far as size mine i installed a longer Stihl bar that required new gearing unfortunately Stihl stopped producing parts for it years ago so i can run the heck out of it untill something major goes on it then it’s scrap metal we have a special relationship and if she has sat for any longer than a few months she likes to be started her own way but will be screaming onthe third pull always the Tree guys love them and will pay top dollar whenever the see one for sale as they are great for climbing and hanging on their belts ! i am not a professional yet i do have a few Tree guys inmy family that have been climbing for over 25 years one of who is also a professional Fulltime Firefighter as well who has always told me he just likes Climbing and cutting down trees plus he gets paid for it
That's awesome man. And tell your family member thanks for their service! Firefighters have a tough job👍
Great job y’all thanks for sharing
Thanks y'all 👍
First comment!
whoo hoo
Sorta going towards Echo. Stihl is good. But so is Echo. Parts easier to come by. Just seem to be made with common sense
Echo has really upped their game. Good saws👍
Cheers guys🍻
Cheers! Thanks for watching
How bout you, After the storm came through I bought an Echo CS590 and it is a cutting machine if you are man enough to hold on to it. It is to heavy for me to carry for long times.
That's a big saw!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Yes sir it is and I bought it from a dealer for $300.00 and he put it together and filled it with gas and oil. It is good for cutting tree's that are down and cutting them down but as far as trying to cut stuff that is up it is so heavy. I am going on 59 and my weight lifting is not what it used to be. I would like something lighter that cuts good.
@@kevin86674 look at a cs400. It is a really nice saw that has a lot of good features but also is very lightweight.
@@BigOrangeTractors Thanks for the info. I will check on one.
@@kevin86674 i think you would like the echo 352 it's light but it can cut all day long and ot has no problem going through big wood just put a 18in bar on it.
All of these are cold handle models? Pro tip: You can say chainsaw is for professionals if it's available with heated grip.
Right on 👍
Nice selection of saws. Really liked that video. 👍
Thank you Jason 👍
Great info, thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment on the video 👍
I have a echo cs400 and I I have a outdoor wood boiler. I burn alot of wood and I am upgrading to a bigger echo. My back will thank me. CS 400 is a great saw for light wood use but if you are cutting bigger logs spend the extra $$
Thanks for watching 👍
If you where going to have to choose one witch one would you pick for all around saw
I like the husqvarna shut off switch better but the Sthil cuts better. So it’s hard to say
The husqvarna 435 is not even a farm and ranch rated saw dude , not to mention it's only a little 40.7cc motor and only costs $269. A better comparison woulda be for husqvarna woulda been like comparing the husq 450e2 with a narrow kerf 15" bar and chain Vs the Husq 550xp with the same exact 15" bar and chain and both running on the same fuel and bar and chain lube , compression numbers also should be within 5-7% of each other. That echo 620 is a POS , I know three guys whove had the wrap around handle rip right off the body with a considerably chunk of the main body attached to it while not even puting the saws through any truly hard work by any means which is pathetic to me , you can drop trees on Stihls and Husqvarnas and they not only prob will be just fine but they prob wouldnt even stall lol ,I've done it so I can speak for that. Btw the smallest cheapest husqvarna "farm and ranch saw" is technically the 440 but it's still not recommended for or considered to be a real true firewood saw ,.the cheapest true firewood saw husky makes is the rather not all that well selling 445 despite it being a wonderful and super reliable tough saw, it's the same engine and body as a 450e2 but the 445 has a smaller bore equating to a 45.7cc engine at 2.84Hp compared to the 50.2cc's engine size and 3.23Hp of the husky 450e2. So you should be comparing a husky 440 against a echo cs400 , and a stihl ms250 or even ms211, then next size up a husq 450 vs an echo cs490 vs a stihl ms 270 , and after than a husky 465 vs an echo 620, vs a stihl ms310 or something similar. I don't really think you could compare pro saws between the three brands mentioned because I don't truelly believe any of echos products to be a true pro saw even if labeled such , they just fall so short in so many ways, you could compare though like a husq 346xp or 550xp vs a stihl ms271 and something larger next like a husky 562xp or 365 vs a stihl ms311 or 034 something somewhere around those sizes.
Good video keep it up, where do you get the skid plates from? Looking for one for Stihl ms291
eBay has them👍
They had problems with the flip fuel caps on the Stihl. When the saw was hot and you poped the cap they would spray fuel out. It. was bad enough they the forestry firefighters stopped using them for some time because gas spraying all over while fighting a fire is a problem. Lol. I believe they have taken care of the issue on newer models.
I like that big Echo a lot!
Yeah it's a good one 👍
"When your out in your yard and you've got a broken limb"
Out of context
Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching
Love you guys review
Thanks Larry. I appreciate the comment 👍
I really like the skid plates but I was wondering if it effects the anti vibration features?
Thanks for watching 👍
Good video as always that last one that's a real man's saw there lol
Tell it all!!!
Next year pro saws is coming to our family
Thanks for watching 👍
Well, you have to try out STIHL MS462 and MS500i. Also try out STIHL ES light bars. And I recommend to change MS291 chain sprocket cover for a MS261 older version one and add MS261 chain tensioner cover plate, they need little adjustment to be able adjust chain tension. Oh and nice and simple video, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment👍 I'll look into that!
Good review Hank and Randal. I'm a Stihl man myself but i have used the Husqvarna and kinda liked it. I have been seeing some good reviews on the Echo. My next purchase i might try this brand out. I've been hearing some good testimonies on the Echo weedeaters. Its kinda hard to beat a Stihl tho.
I do like my Stihl. They are good saws. I've never run an Echo. I'd like to try it out. 👍
Echo rules the weedeating area they make the lightest and most powerful weed eaters hands down....here in South texas it's what all the businesses use...but if you do intend on getting a echo chainsaw get yourself a 590 timberwolf its a 59.8 cc saw same as the 620 only difference is the 620 has advanced cutting performance system and allows you to put up to a 27in bar wich I can guarantee the 590 can do with no problem... I'm only going up to a 24 inch bar on my 590 but im ordering a 28in for my echo 800p...i will warn you Mr. Stihl man once you get a hold of a good echo chainsaw you will probably start replacing your stihl saw 😆 unless you have those beast ass stihl saws the biggest echo chainsaw is sadly only at 81.1 cc but that's pretty beast considering we don't got huge trees down here in Texas not like up north.
My little $199 echo weed eater blows through 2' tall grass no problems.
Are any of the Echo saws made in Japan like they once were ??
I'm not sure. Maybe someone will read this and know the answer
Hi Timur, all ECHO engines are made in Japan. A number of products are completely made in Japan such as the CS-7310P. Then we have manufacturing facilities in the US and China. If you're interested in a product and would like to know the manufacturing details give a shout out to our team at ECHO USA and they'll be happy to inform you.
Thanks for chiming in Echo. 👍
@@ECHOTools Thank's for your help. Much appreciated.
Maybe tighten the chain on the Husky 435. It pains me to think you are operating it like that...
Thanks for watching 👍
What ... no pro-level Husky?!?!
lol. We could only show what we had :)
Look at the chain tension on the second one, omg
U have one of huskys weakest saws, and youre impressed with it lol get a husky 346xp or 357xp. Theyll rock ur socks off if u like the 435.
Thanks
Right on, i prefer a good husky ! I own 3 saws 2 huskys and one stihl. I always seem to pick up one of the huskys.
I like older more than this half plastic made Saws. still running 041av and 08s
Yeah I hear ya👍 thanks for watching
Which one can I buy that I won't have to re-tighten the chain every 5 min.
Once the chain is old and dull, it's about done stretching haha.
bro i like the 261 n 661 with smaller bar" but yer depends what ya doin" cheers
Cheers. Thanks for watching 👍
Wow, that small Echo saw is actually cute. A word I've never used to describe a chainsaw before ..
That saw IS really cute. I have 6 saws including this one, and it's my fave. But don't let the word cute mislead you into thinking it's not professional. I will choose this saw for any job the bar length will fit. There's way more power there than it's 25cc suggests.
Stihl and Husquarna for production. Echo for youtubers cutting cookies once a year.
Lol. That's funny 😁👍 thanks for watching 👍
I have a a Ms290
right on John!
I prefer stihl over husqvarna stihl is a heavier more expensive saw but the rooms are faster
Thanks 👍
All i have used is stihl. Im looking to buy a new 18 inch so im watching this to compare
Stihl is a nice saw for sure. You really can't go wrong with any of these three brands. It just comes down to preference, in my opinion. Thanks for watching 👍
Husky 440 is the way to go just got one and i love it plenty of power and torque
The 440 is ok, but if the budget allows I would highly recommend the 562 from Husqvarna. That’s my limbing saw. I run it like a dog and it keeps coming back for more.
The ms261c is a good chainsaw I use one everyday for almost 10 hours straight never have a problem out of it
I have a MS290 that I bought in 2005. Stihl running like a champ!!!
Yeah I had one of those my boy got it stuck in a log and pulled it intwo the guy I worked for he told me you could do that and we were running 661
The Stihl chain saws I ran at a job had those flip type gas and oil caps .I wouldn't wish those things on my worst enemy.
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
You are forgetting that the echo 620p .. which I dont know if you have it on a 620p but I have a 620pw and it loves the 27" bar and full tooth chain but is also has a hot and cold weather switch too and fully adjustable carb and adjustable oiler with a unlimited coil and a bigger car than the echo cs 590 which is the same 59.8cc cylander head and piston.. the 620pw as far as I know only has a full wrap handle for falling timber added to it but it's a beast if you break it in properly with 20-30" logs and let it got threw heat cycles for 100hours of use .. mines running at about 14,500rpms after it's been warmed up while cutting
Been running a Homelite bar on my Stihl saw for a while now. Just putting off getting a new bar. Finally took my saw into a dealer looking for the right bar and chain dude about messed his pants I guess my saw is from 1974 (Stihl 031AV not MS anything) and a collectors item. Just goes to show you the quality of those saws. I'm gonna keep it going as my primary saw but now i have a 20" bar for it.
Right on 👍 thanks for watching.
Just subscribed!
Thanks. We appreciate the support 👍
I ran the heck out of a stihl after hurricane Michael. Never failed me once
You and me both👍
Echo...echo.. echo lol 👍🔥
Lol
I use both the Stihl 271 and 291 in my place of work. They run fine but what I don't like about them is they can't be converted to 3/8 chain.
I put 3/8 setup on my M291
