346xp too narrow powerband, sold it after less than 2 months.

Echo 360t top handle. Read the reviews of people loving them. Bought a brand new one about a year ago. 1st time I used it, it quit after 10 minutes. Took to dealer, adjusted carb, took it back home. Next time, it quit after 10 minutes again. Took it back, dealer fiddled with carb again. Next time I used it, it quit after 10 minutes again. Dealer worked on it again. Next time I used it, quit after 10 minutes. Took it back to dealer, they replaced ignition coil. Told me Echo states they are having a problem with them when they get hot. Took saw home, it quit again after 10 minutes. Took saw back in, the dealer replaced the carb and told me if I had one more problem he would replace the saw. 2 weeks later, the dealer closed his doors. I used the saw again, ran like a race horse for 45-60 minutes. Problem solved right? Wrong. Next time I used it, it quit after 10 minutes. Now I am stuck with a possessed saw that won't run. Nearest dealer is 36 miles away.

Wow! I was under the impression the 346xp could cure cancer and solve world peace!

FIL has an old 026 that can barely pull a 16"b&c in oak.

"Get" ugly? It started that way on the first post.

But other than that, was it ok?

An Echo 360T cutting limbs up to feed a chipper. The only thing it mostly did was BWA BWA BWA. I felt like running it through the chipper.

Anything creamsickle colored !

I got into the chainsaw game rather late, first saw was a 025 and it left a lasting, indelible, horrifying stack of miserable memories that only an Echo could begin to heal and a pile of Huskys could cure.

 

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

Stihl 031 just plain lacking power, ugly and like I said lacking power.

Skill 1616 or what ever # they want to put on it...yep that one. Flat out junk.

Homelite Ranger and such, same as the one above for description.

Homelite 150.

 

[KenJax Tree]

MS 660. Used it for a week and hated it so i sold it and bought a 390xp and couldn't be happier.

Sawtroll won't be posting here....he's never used the saws he hates:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Well, if I don't like a saw I go fix it and then cut wood. They all have their place and most can be made to run properly with some attention. I have said it before, but the only ones I truly do not like are the Homelite Ranger style ones with the melt-o-matic chain brakes. They drag and get hot and melt and drag more and melt more, and it just turn to poo. If the brake is removed, even those saws can cut acceptably well. I am not a fan of the chicom "stihl" colored ones that are not even copies, but then I don't consider them saws. Guy came in the other day with a KD-YD-6200 looking for parts. Thought it was a "factory second" Stihl. We corrected him and sent him packing. I'm not even going to entertain fooling with that scrap. Kinda like the pop-up head game at the fair. IF I can get it to go out the door, it will be right back with a different problem and they will want it repaired this time for free.

 

[Twindad]

I like some more than others, but I never met a saw I didn't like. At least a little.

 

[huskydude]

regular 024. no balls. the super 024 i fixed was much nicer.

 

[mile9socounty]
