I've had approx. 6 months total experience using an 020T, only got to try a Husky twice. Been using Echos for climbing for about 8 years. They are just about the most comfortable climbing saw I have used. They just fit my hand perfectly!

My favorite is the Husky136.I just love'em

I like the rear handle echo,(3450) except for it's lack of power.
I'm going to stick a husky power head into an echo 3450 body, then I'll have the best of both worlds.

020T is my firm fave.

 

[Treeman14]

Stihl 009.

When it comes to the big saws, I'm another HUSKYMAN myself but for climbing i love my echo 3000. Since im a smaller person the light weight of the saw makes it easier for me to climb with.

Tried to 020T before too, but to expensive for a climbing saw right now.

 

[HUSKYMAN]

I only climb when I have to, and when I do I go for the good old XL2. Light and much more powerful then the 009 I had. I dont have a 335XPT because I dont get up there enough to warrant the cost. And when I am down limbing I can switch to the back trigger for more leverage. I love em.

Gotta go 020T, they are kinda small for my hands, used to have a problem shutting it off on accident but got used to it, but they are powerful

I thought I was the only one with a ropbelm with that switch .

at 140lbs. climbing is pretty easy but running a saw in some situations can be tricky. i like echo's CS-3000. not the most powerful but easy to wield.

When I was a dealer I had tons of guys raving about the super pro Poulan. I was glad when they discontinued it. I got tired of looking up parts for those POS's.

hey nositting

at 115 lbs. my cs-3000 makes it real easy to use up in the trees1

You guys might want to know that the 3400 weighs virtually the same as the 3000, but I found them to last a lot longer and they have a lot more power than the 3000. Only $30-$40 more, well worth it next time you need a climbing saw.

yeah i know but at the time i needed a saw and just picked the 3000 over the 3400, still happy with the 3000 though

[buckkillr8]

Nope guess not!
