    360t or ms192

    I like the Echo saws, but I have to admit my 192C is the fave in my toolbox for small work and pruning. It's Echo counterpart is more the 330T not the 360T, and while I never had one of those I do have Shindaiwa's 326T which is supposed to be the equivalent of the 330T and it doesn't compete...

    How are the Echo Saws (quality)

    They've always been excellent for me. Best bang for the buck saws out there, in my humble opinion.

    My left arm is on FIRE!!!!

    The harness/straps help, but not a lot. If they are carrying the weight then you are only cutting those branches that are that specific distance away from you. I think it's holding the pruner at the angle that you need to, to keep the limbs from falling on your head that gets you. It's also...

    My left arm is on FIRE!!!!

    My Echo pruner will make you wish you were doing something else too. I have the extending model figuring "I'd use it only when I actually needed it", but it really only makes you cut more stuff that you don't really need to! Let me lug a chainsaw around the woods any day.

    Question PPE - Eyewear

    I like the concept of the screen but I don't like wearing one. To me they are just too stifling. I do like glasses that cover the largest amount of eye area though, so I went to Lowe's and just tried some on until I found what I was looking for.

    Mastermind Meets The Echo CS-520

    Didn't you have some vids of that 520 running with a stihl and a 346 at one time or was that someone else? As I recall the 520 more than held its own.

    Mastermind Meets The Echo CS-520

    I don't know if that style filter is the best idea or not. My 530 and 680 has it and it is full of dust while my 600P (and the new 500P) has the flat filter and has hardly any dust on it in the same amount of time. I have a hunch Echo made some strides in the pre-cleaning department and getting...

    50cc class chainsaw advice

    You sure have that right! There is lots of talk about new saws, but I'd take a well-broken in older model saw any day.

    Buying a 60cc saw Echo CS600P ( new $500) - Want 20 years of easy starting - 5hrd/yr

    In "settings" there is a subsection called "general settings" on the left hand side with language options near the bottom of the page.

    Buying a 60cc saw Echo CS600P ( new $500) - Want 20 years of easy starting - 5hrd/yr

    Hard to make a blanket statement about carb settings really. Users must really tune them to their own likings. I think there is still a vid around here somewhere or on youtube by snelling about carb tuning that is excellent.

    Mastermind Meets The Echo CS500P

    It sure sounded like it needed a tuning awfully bad in the stock vid so no wonder it cut so slowly. Great work on the mod though. Kind of what the echo saw guys have been saying all along.

    Echo Pole Pruner

    Now here is a success story. From time to time you will read here about Echo's warranty not being worth the paper it's printed in, yet you had an actual complaint and it worked out. Kind of the way it is supposed to work, huh?

    Echo CS-600P???

    HD, that's about as valuable as it gets. Somebody that sticks with a saw for a lot of hours and reviews it for better or for worse. Great post.

    Echo CS-600P???

    I haven't a negative opinion about any of the Echo equipment.

    Echo CS-500P

    The only thing is, and this is a personal preference thing, is that any brand new saw on any shelf looks sad with no crud on it. Pretty much like a new truck looks too. I almost feel sorry for it. :cry:
