That's one thing I really like about my '96 Echo CS 3900. No flippy caps and the caps never leak. Retainers are also still in place after 16 years and have never broken. Believe me, this is one saw that has always been worth servicing and has only been in the shop twice--(1) ignition module and (2) the clutch and sprocket replacement. The old sprocket is still good, but I elected to replace it last year. At least 600 hours on this saw, and that's the original bar. Compression is still excellent.
Lame, my adze.
More like some people are lame like the one who started this thread not Echo saws. Steve
My 8000 was one of the most impressive saws I have run stock. Heck I was excepting a real turd, but instead it was a real cutter. Brad blsnelling tested it at Poulan GTG and it out cut the saws he put it up against.
Only thing is it weighs as much as a 066. :redface:
Oh this 702evl 70cc Echo impressed me too. Pulls a 24" 8T with no problems. I like the short bar for my cutting though.
Am I missing something here? OP says he's not impressed with cutting speed on Echo's latest saw line, and eventually guys trot out pics and vids of vintage Echos that kick butt?
Isn't that like a guy saying the big box store Poulans suck and then fellas show pics and vids of the cool older total muscle Poulans to refute the claim?
I'm not sayin. I'm just sayin. :msp_confused:
Exactly.New Homelites are crap,but an old 750 will tear most any new saw a new dairy air(spelled wrong I know).The Echo everybody seems most impressed with are the smaller saws,which Ive never used.But like Ive said 14 times now,the videos of these saws are not impressive.I have a stock Stihl 250 that would eat these saws for lunch.As for reliability,that 250 has had a starter rope and a spark plug since new.Has cut 24 inch wood several times in 90 degree heat non stop all day.Not bad for a "homeowner saw".According to Echo,all they make is Professional grade saws.Well Id hate to see their homeowner saws if they ever decide to make a line
Im not really a brand basher,cause I like all saws.But I was looking at Echoes website and their own videos make the saws look like turds.Look really slow cutting.Ive only owned 1 echo saw,a 670.I thought it was slow and heavy.I will continuwe to avoid Echo,since it seems they aint got no better
You are right, not much to add here! :msp_rolleyes:
There is a reason they usually don't make any statements about power specs.....
