I like the "more power to you" with the echo, thats classic. Just remember I could care less what brand as long as it gets my wood cut and its fun for me to run.If echo fits the bill for some, more power to ya,
One stupid post after another from you, Husky boy. Steve
You call me Husky boy? I don't know what to say...maybe "thank you"?[/QUOTE
Hey Husky Boy( it's a title we should capitalize it going forward, it's just what's right).
What does you shirt say in the picture and what type of saw are you holding lol.
You probably cut more trees in a day than many on here cut in a month or a year including me, I'm listening.
You call me Husky boy? I don't know what to say...maybe "thank you"?
Edit:
On a more serious note, I have absolutely nothing against Echo or any Brand of saws, but I am pissed of by the "Echo team" who can't support a single critic.
When someone say "this Echo has less hp than a ****** (replace ***** by every brand you want)", the Echo team come and say "stop bashing our brand, hp specs mean nothing".
When someone like Fordf150 or me post a comparative video where an Echo is outcut by a 6100 or a 560xp, the Echo team come and say "stop bashing Echo's, these vids mean nothing, I bet the the Echo has more torque, put a longer bar", or "with a simple muffler mod, the Echo will cut circles aroud the ******"
So please, be a little serious and stop whining each time someone say something you don't like about an Echo.
There would be no arguing at all. Everyone would be busy. All the Echo guys would be busy hauling the wood the Husky guys were cutting at record pace.[emoji1]
So your videos prove that Echo's can be outcut, but others videos don't prove squat? People can bash Echo's all they want, I don't care, I just think a lot of people are put of by a solid brand because "die hard ***** brand lovers" say they are better. I have more Huskies then Echo's, I just think its ridiculous how saw brands get people SO bent out of shape.
The biggest (and main) issue I have with husky is poor CS, communication and autotune service. I would gladly run any saw in you sig, my sig and most peoples sig, a fun cutting saw is a fun cutting saw. I think that each brand has pros/cons that can effect the end user in a greater manner then just HP/torque/etc... My favorite saw to run is my 371/385 that rattler ported. Just plain mean and can cut, cut cut but sometimes I want a better handling saw. Regardless of #s (published) the 620 is better handling then the 562 (for me) and I like the in board clutch. Also, no Autotune is a plus for me. I don't personally care if others like Echo, I just want to share information with those looking at new saws.
It seems as if we forget here (AS) that sometimes people come with zero cutting experience. They may not have the funds, desire or self proclaimed need for a "Pro" saw with a lesser warranty. They man not need "Pro" power or will sacrifice power for weight. For me its not this vs. that but rather sharing observations for others to learn from, view and assist others in making an informed decision.
You don't know what you don't know, you know?
I don't include you in the "Echo cheerleader team", you know. I really enjoyed your videos, and you seems to know what you're talking about, not like some other Echo guys. I had the chance to run a 620, and I never said it wasn't a good saw. You just miss one point, if most of AS members are from USA, many guys live in Europe or Australia. And I can assure you, in many European countries, Echo's will be the last choice because of their crazy high prices.
For the exemple, I'll never say to someone here to buy a 590 or a 490, their prices are too close from good pro models from Dolmar and Husky.
I liked the Echo 510, I had the chance to use one, and it was a great runner, but when you can buy a 550 or even a 261 for less money, you'll never buy the Echo.
Same thing for the 620, why would someone buy one at €930 when the Dolly 6100 is available at €619 until the end of january?
If your still reading post and havn't purchased a saw yet. You might look at something in the middle of those 2 prices like Husky 545 or Jonsered 2252The husky cost 550 the echo cost $350. What is the echo I noticed it looks different is it actually a shindawia? I'm an occasional user I know probably bother are overkill for the half a cord I cut a year. My other saw is a ms170

I'd be more than happy to help you in any way I can on a new dolmar of your choice!Thank you for that. I do not consider geographical disposition in regards to cost, I guess I should (even though I am not experienced with current international prices or exchange rates.) I am surprised that they would be more expensive (comparatively) elsewhere then in the US... Is the Dolmar/Makita the same mount as a Husky? I think someday I would like to try a bigger Dol/Makita that's ported. I think I may email @MillerModSaws or something to that names effect and see what he can do.
Is your PS7900 ported?
On another note, my first saw was a old (when I got it) craftsman 42cc saw, started using it when I was 8... my dad would give me it and I would have to limb all the pine tree's. It blew up and is still in pieces as its not really worth the $ in parts. :/
.... Is the Dolmar/Makita the same mount as a Husky? ....
This new echo/shindaiwa model based on the same platform looks like it may compete with some of the better 50cc saws, like the 545, 2252, 353 etc, but not quite there in power to 5105, 550, 261. A step in the right direction, and I like what appears to be a non spring assist starter. Should be slimmer.
