I searched and found an Echo dealer a couple miles away, I never heard of the place. I looked because I wanted to go see the saw.
Here’s a video of someone stealing from their store. I’m surprised they didn’t have the saws cabled to the display, maybe they do now. After the video if they watch closely, I’ll understand why.

Im liking what I see with the Echo 271. Still lighter than the XL, and less money than the 2511. Funny though, Echo doesn’t include power output in their specs.
We have had a farm boss 271 for a few years now it has cut a lot of wood. And I just got a 194t and you have to be very aware of your other arm I think it’s more dangerous then the 880
Some people.....
Looks good.
Where'd you get it. I need to find a new rear, mine just don't get moving like it used to.
Truck place in PA the rear came out of a Florida truck that got involved in a pile up on 81 just before Christmas. They took it out as I was there truck had 78k or so miles shame looked like it was a nice truck but good for me
I was talking to some one recently why Homelite had a 100CC Super 1050 with no decomp, and a little 30 something CC Super EZ with a decomp, didn't make sense to me to have the decomp on such a little saw. They said, often to get the smaller parts, like the recoil/starter, into the smaller case, to make them lighter, the starter doesn't have the mechanical advantage that the bigger saws have. The decomp isn't necessarily to make it easy for the user, but to protect the weaker components. But, it does help start them too. That made sense to me.
I don't get it. Are you saying you would just "pinch them off" with the splitter, or you wouldn't waste your time on rounds that small.
Either way I make a lot of cuts on wood that size. I don't want to waste great wood, and I don't want to damage my splitters, that black locusts is very hard and it burns great.
I hate to see nice ones get crunched, but it is nice when you get the nice clean parts or even the whole car and can get it right back on the road when it's just cosmetic damage.
hi tk - quicker than picking the nuts out of shells, of course you could just consider buying some pecans. they run about $8/# or so online... hmm, maybe we could swap Washington Delicious for some Texas Pecan Pie... ?
how's the weather? hope u r staying warm... did some research other day on cherry orchards that used to be over in Wawawai before the Granite Dam flooded the area... on another thread. here's to WA
I couild make that swap only to a person unfamiliar with teh Delicious. The only thing going for it are the looks and keepability. I'm surprised it is still grown.
Weather is cold, lows in the mid teens - very unusual for this late in the year. We are getting just the edge of that huge arctic blast.
Yeah that Wawawai orchard and the one a Penewawa were both going businesses back befoe the dam. The one at Penewawa is still there and runs a u-pick every year on just about every fruit that can be grown down there. My 'small locust' scrounge is on the Penewawa road almost all the way down there.
I went and looked, I think the 2511 is too small. I like the Echo 271T, they’ll only sell it with a 12” bar. They quoted $518 (for 2 saws) with a manufacturer 20% discount for nonprofits (and tax). So now I need to get a quote for longer bar and chain in 1/4”. The manager at this place said if I’m use to older saws I’m going to be unhappy with the power output from the same cc saw, because of emissions. Hmmm.
I went to another place and looked at Stihl, Stihl offers nothing between 23cc and 31cc, I want to be somewhere in the middle. They didn’t know if they do a discount, that guy is off today.
A guy at the shop told me they never caught the guy.
The other shop I went to had a window boarded up, all the top handles right by the window were stolen. They already ordered more to replace them
Me too . No rust on it clean for a 07 only thing still salvageable was the drivetrain and interior. Got a couple of items from the inside like the door window switches. It wasnt a Laramie like mine so it was cloth not leather.
I sent an email to Saw Again.
I would try to watch some videos of them all cutting to try and get a feel for how they cut.
I think many of the older saws had power down low, and the newer ones are more peaky with a narrow power band, that can make them seem like they don't have as much power. It's important to run them if you can, then you will have a much better idea of what will meet your needs best.
The 271t shouldn't be any more than like 300, the cs455t will be up in the area you were quoted.
Keep researching so you get the best saw to meet your needs and the best price/service.
Quick search, not advocating purchasing here, but for reference purposes.
If these prices are accurate then I would want to either get the 2511 because it's smaller/more compact, or I would want the 455 because it is so close in weight/size to the 271 and it comes with a longer bar and it has much more power.
Oops! I forgot to mention that’s for 2 saws, our nonprofit said to buy 2. I went back and edited the post to include the quantity quoted.
That changes things a bit lol.
