I can't really add to Belgian's excellent post.
How was your breakfast?????????????????????????
Shameless member,
Fish
Funny, I have an Echo dealer one mile away from me. An excellent dealer, too. ...
Got a service desk manned by two guys at all times. Know what they're doing, too.
My nearest Echo dealer is about a 30 minute drive.
...
My nearest Stihl dealer is about an hour drive, and if I go there, I have to put up with a cranky, ugly old man, too!
His name is Tom.
There's lots of reaasons to like Echo products
Let's hear a few..........
Fish, you are one weird dude.
Yeah, I know, not a chainsaw question, but I figured with all of the Stihl pro's on here, some of you might have some knowledge ( Andy!!!)
What do you guys know about this thing?
My main question, or concern with this thing is durability? Are there design flaws with this thing? What kind of service do they require? If I accidently suck in a quarter sized rock from a driveway or a 3 inch chunk of oak mulch, is it going to toast the shredding blade?
I tend to get 25 years out of my Stihl chainsaws, can I expect the same life out of these newer gadgets with the same maintenance as I am used to with my saws? If this deal is the quality I am used to from Stihl, It will be a life saver for me!
Again, sorry for all of the dumb questions, just wanted to check with you guys before I spend the money! Thanks a million in advance for any guidance you may be able to give me!
- the vibrations are not a problem, and after 1 hour of use, there's no discomfort at all. A no brainer imo.
Once you get into vacuuming longer stuff or larger chips, the tube gets stuck very easily. I would like to see Woody do the same with even a smaller diameter tube, regardless of air flow...
Must be why Stihl put an antivibe on the new ones. Since it wasn't a problem. I mean, if it isn't broke, fix it anyway, right?
Nothing to worry about there, Belgian.
I'm smart enough not to use any hand-held shredder/vac to vacuum-up wood chips.
Ok fellas,
Thanks to all of you who had constuctive replies!
