Does anyone else think echo chainsaws feel way under powered?? a year or so ago i was on a job when a random guy walked up and offered to sell 2 brand new echo saws for 100 bucks, I assume they probably fell off the back of a truck based on the price. Well anyways knowing what they were worth i bought them gladly. I dont remember what models they were but i do know one was larger in the 500 dollar range and one was smaller in the 300 dollar range bcause i checked on them at the time, anxious to try em out i gased them up and went to town and wow I just felt like they didnt have the power they should, I am used to running huskys and stihls and that is all i have owned. I know all about the break in on saws and that they were brand new but i was anything but impressed, i ended up selling them within a few days to a guy i know who swears by echo. im not trying to start and argument here but has anyone else been dissapointed with the performance on echo saws what are your experiences and thoughts??
