It doesn't mean it was easy.What's a good size hickory? 15/20in 20/36in? I've seen a many 15/20in hickory cut with the old28.
I wouldn't be affraid to try one of Echo's 60cc class saws if you are in need of a good saw at an economical price, they seem to be a decent option. As far as easy to work on, the ones I have worked on are about the same as anything else, they are harder to source aftermarket parts for though and some of the factory parts seem spendy.Mostly between22" to 30" diameter. Some of the chestnut oak larger than that. The only reason I'm considering the 028 is it is in very good shape for an old saw. Parts getting hard to find?
I thought the 490with MM and tuning could handle the job? It's their smallest "pro" saw. I wouldn't mind the extra $ for the 590 if it would not be too heavy for me, old man that I am. I want a good power vs weight ratio. So the cs590 or other candidates???
Will the Echo saws be easy to work on like the Stihls?

I believe Echo sells a tool to change the sprocketI just sharpened the chain on my 355T for the first time and was a little surprised to find the clutch mounted outboard of the sprocket. That may be more interesting when it comes time to replace the sprocket? Puller needed to remove the clutch first? I wonder if all their saws have that setup?

My cs520 has an inboard clutch so I assume they differ by model.
I had a cs520 and it had a outboard clutch. Did they change it?
Nope, mine has an outboard clutch as well! I had to run out to the shop and look, don't know what I was thinking, crack pipe must have kicked in...
