I'd vote for the 25cc ECHO 2511WES

Great question.

What about best top-handle based rear-handle. There's not that many. Eventually, that will be my next saw purchase. I've been interested in that 361p Echo for a while..,

sooner or later everyone figures out that anything less than 40cc's the big makers do not really make a "pro" version...just someone elses's rebadged crap, or their own home level badged as a pro level...

I thought that a Stihl 200/201 was a pro saw?

And that maybe some of the small echos would rate too?

Among others possibly?

Sorry, for the delete comment. Once I posted it, I found a similar post, so I was hoping this would be deleted.

But since you are all talking about it.... thanks for the answers.

That's a cool looking little saw.
If I win the lottery I'm going to buy one, and some of those high dollar bars, and take up chainsaw carving.

My 2511T gets a lot of use. And not just up in trees.
It gets used a lot on the ground also.
Nice to be able to carry around a small five pound saw when you have a couple of cuts here and a couple of cuts there. Surprising how easily it'll slice through 8" hardwood.
Makes an excellent hedge trimmer too.

What about your 361p you-bin-braggin' about?

How do you like that?

Ever used a Stihl 150,150t,201,200,200t,201t?
Pro saws all......

I love that saw. A real go-getter for it's size and weight.
I use it as my big saw most of the time. For my small amount of firewood cutting. Or cutting down and cutting up small trees to about 10 or 12 inches. Or occasionally in tree for really big limbs.

Mainly just get out the 490 for stumps.

And anything bigger only when absolutely necessary.

No Husqvarna? Never leave out the Swedish blondes.

I hear good things about the husky 346xp there’s a 543?

My older 70’s husky 240sg ( all metal pro saw) was a small wood destroyer in its own right. Small trees. At the time my 240sg and 2100 were my only two saws. When I got the husky 266se it pretty much took over the small to mid cutting.

The NE 346xp is 50cc and the 543xp is an orange Redmax and not really a pro saw

 

[holeycow]

Isn't the 346/353/2153/2152 Redmax also??

 

[holeycow]

Those saws are too big for this thread...I think

 

[Huskybill]

Swedish blondes, Swedish products, saws, bikes, dishes, meat grinders, ect. what ever I have them. I’m out of babes right now, butt what curves? Lol

When you get old like me you enjoy every curve insight,

 

[Huskybill]

that leaves the old hus 240sg? I loved that saw. I have two here.

How about my b&d with the 9” bar 20 volt with the squirt bottle bar Oiler? Lol

 

[holeycow]

Well Bill, you have great taste in asses.
