Ok, so I'm getting a chainsaw for myself and I know I want something more in the mid size range I suppose 55-70cc probably closer to 60-70. I went around to a few dealers and the two that caught my attention were the Stihl 391 and Echo 600. So far from what I`ve read is that the Stihl is a farmer grade saw and the echo regards itself as a pro saw but doesn`t quite make the cut of stihl and husky; but is superior to the 391. From holding the two I found the Echo has a better balance then the Stihl.
I should mention it`s not going to get used a lot currently but when I do want it to work I want it to work great. I`m younger weight of the saw is not my primary concern either although I know it does make a difference. In the future it may get used a lot more, considerably if I end up on an acreage.
Your experience and knowledge is greatly appreciated.
