Hello, I am looking for a 60cc chainsaw, give or take. Or I think I am. I do everything, occassionally. I'd like to cut slabs when the wood is available, probably with a 28" bar, and firewood cutting and general life in the country with a 20" or so bar.
I don't need the most powerful saw, I need a saw that will start easily and last a decade or better with occassional use.
The Echo 620 is appealing, as i have a weed whip and blower from them that have been trouble free.
The husky 562 comes in at a 50% premium, is it worth it?
The stihl 362 looks to be the competitor in this class, priced with the husky. I had a 180 that died because of the choke lever issue, so im not feeling warmly towards stihl. Sure, that was a homeowner saw, but the mechanism of failure was off-putting.
What are your thoughts? And thanks for the help!
