I started this post to get it out of my ( what to by ) thread..
OK i just got done unloading from todays take..I used the echo cs600p today and I was amazed at just how light and fast and powerful this saw is . I mean it cut that red oak like nothing .The guy I was working with today has a 455 rancher with brand new this morning bar and chain and I was making 7-8 cuts to his one. I would start my cuts by reaching over the top of the log a bit and once she was good and dug in about halfway with the saw almost straight vertical I would pull it up and let her eat right down i wasn't leaning on it all , I could not believe the amount of time it saved me..I will finish up tomorrow and I cant wait . I got pretty bad back and a touch of RA in my elbows and wrist and they been aching sense I started this job a week ago tomorrow. Ive got about week or more of steady splitting in front of me now. I am really looking forward to Tuesday when I pick up the makita dcs5421. I did have the thrown chain while doing a side cut with the cs600p. I don't know how much the bar chain combo has anything to do with it. The guy i got the saw from said it did not come with a bar just the chain so he went out and bought a bar I looked on the saw and the # on the bar does not match the recommended 20" bar there doesn't appear to be any slop in the combo but I was curious because I've never thrown a chain before.
Ill will be back at it again this morning once my arms stop hurting some..
