I really like it. It weighs less than that Echo and cuts easily twice as fast. I regret not getting sooner. I did split all the wood by hand. Ended up being around 5 cords total. Yes, it was quite the workout. Much like my regret of not getting that saw sooner, I regret not renting a splitter. Work harder not smarter....maybe I’ve got it backwards.

Long overdue update. I replaced the existing shoulder bolt with a through bolt. Used a hex nut as the shoulder. We will see how it hold ups. Used loctite so hopefully it doesn’t vibrate loose. Probably should have found an allen bolt but didn’t have one in the right size. My next project is a new carb on this old beast

Have an old Echo 452 like the one you have. Very slow saw. No where near the power or speed on my Poulan 3400. Newer Echos are much better.
