Echo CS- 520 Vrs. Stihl MS260

I was just wondering if I could get some input on these two saws in a comparison.
Has anyone tested these two side by side?

Seems like they run the same rpm and cc is very close.

This should indicate that the Echo will last...... Oh twenty years.

Really what do you guys think?

This either is a joke, or you are on crack - I prefere the first option.......:greenchainsaw:

Oh come on now I have a Echo that is over 20 years old and still runs great.

 

[Bob Wright]

There are lots of 20 and 30 year old Echo's out there still running. Ebay is full of them. I have a 40 year old one that runs great and is my favorite saw...Bob

Sure, but you said 670 originally - and all Echos have little power output for their size, anyway.....

The 520 My bad I changed it for ya.
I just got the Baileys add and was reading it in the hum.....Study

and low and behold I was thinking about what THall was saying about the MS260.

He said that the reason that saw is so good is because it runs slower rpms then the huskys and dolmars.

So I was just wondering how this Echo adds up as a wood chucking fire wood saw.

Yes I did ...Mis print. sorry

 

[volks-man]

see other user

thers is a user here named brian s that has a 520 and he apperars to think very highly of it.
personally i would have gotten one instead of my cs-440 but timing and dollars said otherwise.

Sorry Manual havnt tried their saws but I had a strimmer on demonstration last year cant remember the model but it was about 40cc and weighed the same as a small car boy was that thing heavy! and it required 25;1 mix which is a bit of a pain when everything else i have runs 50ish to1

Have you EVER run a modern ECHO? Or had one apart to see how well they are put together? be honest. Steve

Where did you come from, a 40cc trimmer running 25 to 1 as heavy as a car. No more BS. Steve

 

[COLD_IRON]

Personally

I have run an old Echo SRM 300 and a newer 2100.

The 300 was heavy and vibrated quite a bit. Hard to start - hated it.

The 2100 was a gem. I'd buy more if I could justify it.

all saw makers can keep the side access tensioner. i really don't see the point.
they really re-invented the wheel on that one, imo.

I have a top handle echo. Runs great.

I understand Echo has made some changes to there line.

carrying a 5 year warranty tells me that this saw is made not to burn up.
