I've got the 355t and I was pleasantly surprised at its level of performance, really an impressive little workhorse & ridiculously light. Great video as always August.
Haha, hilarious comment about "Deadliest Catch" (or Axe Men, or any number of "reality" shows)... they could have dragged out that bridge crossing for 5 or 10 minutes of air time including a commercial in between and repeating the same shots a few times... no artificial drama in August Hunicke videos.. just a concentrated, well edited, well produced, entertaining dose of the real thing!
not sure how I got here but this was fascinating. You sir look like you enjoy your job, do it safely and with care. I wish I could find someone in my area that takes such pride and craftsmanship when pruning or taking down a tree.
I love this saw! I have been having lots of shoulder and elbow pain from overuse and this has helped get me through. As long as you keep the chain right, don’t force it and just let it cut , it’s amazing what it can do for being toy size and it’s quick. It’s pretty darn light, sometimes I forget it’s hanging in my schembiner . I now have one in each truck I like it better than my Sthil 150t … and it’s cheaper! Other than the first day I never need the primer bulb, starts in 1-3 pulls and just takes 20 seconds or so to warm up. I think I’m going to have to tweak my personal one😀
@@lexandersig Its been great, no problems. just keep the air filter clean and a sharp chain. Maybe turn up the idle after a few hours. Nice clean cuts for pruning and you can use it for topping out smaller removals. I also bought two Echo 355t with 14inch bars and they have been great so far also.. A little heavy, but lots of power and cut the bigger stuff quick when climbing.
Probably one of the greatest arborist ever!!! Thanks you for the all knowledge and tips you share with us. Probably you save a few life already with that😉😉😉
You beat me to it when you said you can't force it into the kerf while blocking ..... Nice little saw now tho, def no 200T, but nice ... The small education lesson on sugar pine and alder is a bonus.... Since we don't have all your species of tree out east here it's a nice learning lesson from you when you take a moment to explain things, like madrone being the best firewood .... As always excellent video and take care August
I've seen this little unit at my local store, i definitely want one, perfect for limbing, but as you say "Oh so lighttt"..thanks for the video on it August...very much appreciated.
I picked one of these up. It is cold-blooded, but seems to rev out nicely when warm. Can't beat the low weight. Not as user-friendly as a Stihl, but a solid little saw.
Hey August I love your videos there are absolutely the best tree videos iv found yet. I’m a small tree Business owner down in fl where the tree are a little smaller lol i hope to be as good as you are someday
Can't help watching over and over !! I get dizzy watching the high scenes. So, I know you'll get a laugh but just call me Caleb,, I'm 60 and I have never even climbed except as a kid but I'm wanting to do this so right now you're my hero...
Still enjoying the sound of the 2511T ... and looking to get mine tuned this year, love the sound of that little underdog, the engine that could ... and so good on the hip .. such a little wrist slinger and really enjoying mine, it just needs that port and timing bit done on it soon;
I used to climb radio towers (VERY tall like up to 800') and we would drop antennas on the small ones usually under 200'. What your doing scare the hell out of me cutting so close to your safety and all. WOW I freaking love it! You got to be like a cat, nimble well balanced and quick to be in these trees.
As a fellow Arborist, the best part was the comments about sugar pine wood decay characteristics at the end. keep putting that stuff in these videos, that's that real expiriential knowledge right there and goes in the vault when I learn it.
such an awesome little saw. I bought one as a pruning saw to compliment my 201t, but find i reach for the echo 9/10 times now. so lightweight, and so easy to start. Even on Take downs, ill use it as much as possible and skip straight to my 560xp.
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
I just purchased myself the cs2511t and I haven’t even had a chance to use it yet but I’m definitely going to be buying a panther bar conversion kit from you. I’m loving my monkey beaver suspenders. ❤️ Thanks for the video Brother climb safe and God bless you and your family 🙏
Love my 2511! it's funny watching you use yours and expressing the same cons that i was finding. No sights, needs a spike (I fixed that, dealer sells a little one for it), primer bulb. I need to open mine up yet but I'm gonna wait for an extra muffler in case i don't like it. The no sights really is a problem there is not a straight line on it to go off of.
Thanks again for making this vid, it helped fully sell me on this amazing saw, but I'd still had a 25cc (zenoah g2500 clone, 2lbs heavier but otherwise perfect) so couldn't justify it, anyway the g2500 finally went - almost 3 whole years!-- so thankfully I now have a 2511t and, being such a small guy, I can't believe I didn't go do this sooner it makes SO much difference to smaller guys like me who do more 'acrobatic' type climbing! FULLY agree Re the primer, honestly primer bulbs almost seem unnecessary to me (still don't understand why, at around 50cc's+, suddenly they don't provide them anymore?) To be fair to Echo, their 355t - total work-of-art - had its primer bulb FAR better-protected, and honestly as a proud 355t owner, when I got my 2511t my 1st thought was "Darn, this feels even chintzier than my CS-590 (which is MUCH chintzier-feeling than my 355t, which just feels like a rock), I know the 355t can take insane beatings/hits as I've had it nearly 2yrs, the 590 is just ~6mo at this point but has proven durable (only minor abuse so far though), the 2511 man I'm wrapping the handle with elec tape, JB'ing rubber 'feeties' on the bottom, putting that aftermarket debris-shield on my flywheel side, handelbar tape on the side-grip etc etc!! I've always found Echo's to be incredibly reliable and durable machinery (hence why they're my go-to for smaller / climbsaws), the 2511t is amazing in-hand and on-paper but I'm still holding mine thinking "This feels like the build-resiliency I'd expect from a 151t, not an Echo'!)
That's impressive for such a tiny little saw. The Saw King knows chainsaws. I gotta try my ZigZag with my Wrench, I hear from a few other that it's super smooth. Another great video August. Thanks for posting it up. Be safe. Randy
To start the little unit, you prime around 5 times, then click the choke in,pull it a few times till it kicks over then cuts out,release the choke & it'll start in about 3 pulls, all my echos have that procedure.
CS2511T not made for removals where you work in the Pacific northwest where y'all are taking down 150' trees all the time (redwoods and stuff). But it's doing great down here in TX where everything's bigger except the trees & topping saws. Happy Easter brother.
You have to use the primer bulb. Five or six pumps with the lever ups, one or two pulls to pop off, drop the lever and one or two pulls and she is running. Generally, when the saw is warm, one pull and she is going. I really like that. My small husky is like that. I can shut it off for a few minutes and one pull and we are running. That kind of consistency makes you real confident in the tool. Ripsaw does wonders with this little saw. Some guys run a longer bar with 1/4 after the port and she really cooks. Small fuel tank, but hey carry a couple small bottles and away you go.
All the newer Yamabiko(Echo/Shindaiwa) saws are to my knowledge made in Japan, designed at the old SDK Shin-Daiwa Kogyo facilities. Japan is my tried and true go to for 2-stroke engines. May not make the insane power of the Euro Tech-Saws but simplicity can't be engineered around and the damn things are near unkillable.
Hello August, when you apply the choke for a cold start you should not have to 'manually' move the choke lever back to the normal 'run' position with your fingers as simply pulling the trigger resets the choke for you. I had the original Echo CS2510 TES and it was recalled by Echo Uk and we were all given the newer CS2511 TES as a replacement at no extra cost. I run mine on the 0.43 stihl chain and bar too but i opted for 10 inch. I do wonder if the Saw King actually cut open the muffler and removed the 'Cat' which is a disc shaped lattice work which cleans up the emissions or did he leave it in situ and simply muff mod the saw along with the ignition advancement? I reckon 'Cat' removal is the way to go. A ported 2511 would be wild. Regards from the Irishman.
Little piece of advice when the Vermeer track comes off. If it's like my company's, we put a block up under the platform at the back, tilt our bucket straight to the ground and lift the track all the way off the ground. Just trying to help!
Nice little backup, especially at the price... but DAM primer bulbs suck ... LMAO at that extra security cause your older... dam I'm totally 100% in touch with that felling MB, I just hit 50 and with a nasty fall (climbing line in chipper blowing out the top with a 70 to 80ft fall) as well as all the stupid crap that we do when we are young and invincible kinda takes a toll over time😅. Anyhow Gday from Aussie and thanks for the vid 🇦🇺🐵🌲👊👍👍
"Light saw" "This saw is sure light" "Man this is a light saw" Cuts the face for the top, holds the saw with three fingers while using his index finger to feel for the notch. Actions speak louder than words! A picture is worth 1000 words. Watching August and seeing old proverbs in action! What a way to spend a weekend!
If I tried removing a stem like that, I would get the bar stuck under it for sure. It seems almost like a magic trick the way you finish that cut and just leave it sitting there.
August - so inspiring you and the Echo up that pole! I enjoy the drives down to THE SAW KING at Myrtle Creek as well; I want my Echo tuned by Saw King one day! I am a DIY (gasp! I know) hobbyist doing only SRT on my small property ... and have only a small saw collection. You keep me in-check and real - I know my limits on this stuff - Thank You!
Little guy runs pretty good! I habe a couple 150t's that are hopped up and run real nice. The only prob is that 1/4 chain and bar don't like bigger wood and clog up oil port pretty easy, but that tip gets in a tight spot when limbing stuff 🖒
Prime that puppy, August? Come on. Lol. Figured you'd start it on the ground to get her ready. That made echo look a little rough for some viewers, I bet. Thank you for the video and being willing to try new things out. God bless you brother. Stay safe.
I have/ started on a cheap ms 170 and I still use it for when I pull shrubs, 35cc as you all probably know. That little 2511 25cc saw blows the ms171 out of the water… I might buy another one for shrub work!
I like the little marks you make at the edge of your notch as a guide to judge your back cut. I’m going to try that next time I fell a tree. Last trees I fell was a dead 80’ ash and I completely cut the notch through and the trunk slid on the stump then it hung up on a branch of yellow birch next to it, same height. I ended up dropping the birch to bring both down. Very sketchy for me.
Saw sounds to me like it's running rich on (H), from the "4-stroking". Bet you'll see more power output with it a tad leaner. IME, one thing about Echos- they're really hard to kill. Got a saw and brushcutter 40+ years old, that run like new.
Love the fluid vibe between you and the crew, it stands out just how much you care about them, looking forward to MB2 saddle... maybe has some different rings for the bridge? or additional lower set?
The sugar pines around here have 10" limbs, but no problem with the baby Echo. Try hanging it from the side handle to keep the exhaust away. An XL Shembiner works great, and you have a 6" target to clip into.
Thanks for including the pro Arborist tips at ~18:14! * primer button likely allows them to make/sell the saw much cheaper, right? much simpler carburetor/choke design?
I know this post is a little old,just wanted to let you know,just talked to Rich today and ordered 1. Should rip palm trees here in Florida and everything else. Should have it around the 2 week of March, Can't wait. Thanks for the video,best wishes for the new year.
The exhaust heat issue is limited to your saw due to the type of pipe muffler mod. Do all my 2511's with dual factory style deflectors. Heat isn't an issue with that design.
I’m a Tree trimmer and I trim around high voltage power lines and if your wondering I never worry about what’s below I just focus on where I’m at and I enjoy it honestly ! Trusting your gear is the first step to overcoming idk how but it is
For real I thought I was scared of heights but apparently I'm not when I rig uo and climb lol. When you step on the wring branch lose all footing and your rope just holds you and you only drop half an inch......after that you feel pretty comfortable, not complacent, but comfortable
Hey August! Happy Easter. Question. What is that green device you are using with the zigzag. Kind of looks like a rope wrench but I can’t tell. Thanks very much.
ive noticed that the session & the hero's format sd cards different. I have sd cards that work on the session but not in the hero...its always the good footage that gets lost (my experience) ......i dont know about that saw....but that bar on it 😅
Loved his reference to Deadliest Catch! I can’t stand the fake drama in those shows. I’ll watch August and his crew all day long. August has pocket lint with more experience than I’ll ever have. Much better to watch someone who is an expert at what they do than to watch some clowns creating fake drama!
Hello August, I am interested in the Panther kit for an echo 2511. Does replacing the guide and chain improve performance a lot? Where is the muffler mod enough? Thank you for your help, Ben from France
I've got the 355t and I was pleasantly surprised at its level of performance, really an impressive little workhorse & ridiculously light. Great video as always August.

Good morning August! Great 21 minutes to start my day, thank you as always! The Echo seems to be similar to the ms 192t and ms 193t.

You have to use the primer bulb. Five or six pumps with the lever ups, one or two pulls to pop off, drop the lever and one or two pulls and she is running. Generally, when the saw is warm, one pull and she is going. I really like that. My small husky is like that. I can shut it off for a few minutes and one pull and we are running.

All the newer Yamabiko(Echo/Shindaiwa) saws are to my knowledge made in Japan, designed at the old SDK Shin-Daiwa Kogyo facilities. Japan is my tried and true go to for 2-stroke engines. May not make the insane power of the Euro Tech-Saws but simplicity can't be engineered around and the damn things are near unkillable.

We just bought that saw. They sure are proud of it for the price they charge. Wish they sold saws by the pound lol
This is a real nice video. I was highly skeptical of this lil chainsaw. It’s nice too see it in action. I’m not skeptical anymore thanks
Great video as usual. Thanks. I’ll bet that echo cuts quicker then a stock 201. What a ripper!
nice work ,, logs in a pile , nicely consistent ,, thats a beast of a wee saw
Great work. Love the Ateam wrench. Tiny saw made some money and hopefully continue to.
Prime that puppy, August? Come on. Lol. Figured you'd start it on the ground to get her ready. That made echo look a little rough for some viewers, I bet. Thank you for the video and being willing to try new things out. God bless you brother. Stay safe.
Happy to hear the part you said you didnt want to show!
I have/ started on a cheap ms 170 and I still use it for when I pull shrubs, 35cc as you all probably know. That little 2511 25cc saw blows the ms171 out of the water… I might buy another one for shrub work!

Sounds like an angry wasp. Cool saw cool video. Big up from the UK.
Man you got what it takes! Great video man!
Beautiful job on the face/backcut. I find myself marking the tree for the backcut also.
Just bought one this week. Amazing how they run for being so small.
You’ll also be amazed at how quickly they deteriorate and fall apart. It’s the little things about it that will drive you crazy
That looks like it would be really fun to use.
i sometimes use the top of the brake handle as sights (its a good straight line)
I know this post is a little old,just wanted to let you know,just talked to Rich today and ordered 1.
Should rip palm trees here in Florida and everything else. Should have it around the 2 week of March, Can't wait.
Thanks for the video,best wishes for the new year.
How is the saw, Rick?
still rocking my cs341t can seem to retire it. was passed down to me from my dad
Incredible. What talent and guts.
Are you still using the saw much? I'm thinking of getting one but don't really need it. Great videos, thanks
The exhaust heat issue is limited to your saw due to the type of pipe muffler mod. Do all my 2511's with dual factory style deflectors. Heat isn't an issue with that design.
Exhaust, 1/4 pitch bar and chain, timing.
12 or 14?
I seriously don't know how these climbers can do that kind of work my hat's off to them it makes me nervous just looking at it
@Antonio Plaza I would just look down and be like that's a long way down
Some of them drink a lot. The others know Jesus ........Really know Jesus!
I’m a Tree trimmer and I trim around high voltage power lines and if your wondering I never worry about what’s below I just focus on where I’m at and I enjoy it honestly ! Trusting your gear is the first step to overcoming idk how but it is
For real I thought I was scared of heights but apparently I'm not when I rig uo and climb lol. When you step on the wring branch lose all footing and your rope just holds you and you only drop half an inch......after that you feel pretty comfortable, not complacent, but comfortable
amazing climbing skill, professional, and respectful, thanks
I got one just like it. I had problems with start when warm.. found out that if I didn't yank it hard it starts very easy..
Hey August! Happy Easter.
Question. What is that green device you are using with the zigzag. Kind of looks like a rope wrench but I can’t tell.
Thanks very much.
ive noticed that the session & the hero's format sd cards different. I have sd cards that work on the session but not in the hero...its always the good footage that gets lost (my experience)
......i dont know about that saw....but that bar on it 😅
a few questions - what sprocket are you using to run the Stihl bar? Is the chain 1/4 pitch?
Yep no need to cut wedges all the way down on a straight tree. The wood sits back on the sawdust and doesn't pinch the bar.
I cut wood for my home heating but i would be unable to perform the way you do. Respects!!
make it rain!! fast climbing with that little echo. my favourite saw to date
WOW! That PRIMER BUTTON reminds me of my old Husky climbing saws in the 90's!!! I had completely forgotten all about that!!!! 😂
Total respect for you.
Yeah man! I have a .43 pitch 3/8lp 14" bar on mine! Awesome saw!
If you so happen to have time you can see how mine is cutting in my dropfest vid.... As if you want to watch more tree work...... 😂
Loved his reference to Deadliest Catch! I can’t stand the fake drama in those shows. I’ll watch August and his crew all day long. August has pocket lint with more experience than I’ll ever have. Much better to watch someone who is an expert at what they do than to watch some clowns creating fake drama!
Dude has some climbing skillz!!!
5:41am 🤘🤘 seen this in my notifications and had to watch haha😂
Hello August, I am interested in the Panther kit for an echo 2511. Does replacing the guide and chain improve performance a lot? Where is the muffler mod enough? Thank you for your help, Ben from France
THE SAW KING - thank you!
excelente.... aprecio el video... espectante.... al filo de mi asiento...gran trabajo.... mucho valor y sapiencia...saludos desde Acapulco, Mexico...¡
notice you are wearing the Caddy pads on your spurs. I just switched to them. I know they are old school but I love them.
Display saw only. Not for any kind of wood cutting. Disabled at the end of the video
