That 346 is so far ahead he cant hear the echo!
If its even ahead with the peaky powerband, soon as you lean on it blaaa. It for sure wouldn't be way ahead, watch some vids plus the Echo is a bit lighter. Steve
That 346 is so far ahead he cant hear the echo!
Ya, it seems the H after the SX denotes heated handles. I have to fire smart 10 acres this winter in Arctic temperatures , so I need heat anyway I can get it.Heated Echo? I didn't know that was a thing.
I’m in the market for a small saw with heated handles and since the 346xpg is NLA , I have my eye on an Echo CS 501 SXH.
What can I expect to pay and does it come stock with 050 or 058 in 3/8 and is it compatible with small mount Husky bars and does it come with rim sprocket or paddle wheel clutch drum?
Thanks
Thanks for the heads up on the 5105 H.It comes with .325 050,rim sprocket.I have no idea what can you expect to pay for a heated 501,i see some huge prices like 650-700€ from some Germany eshops.I have a 490,a 590 and i am looking to get the 2511 WES,i couldn't be happier with the Echos but if i was in your shoes,i would looking for a heated version of the 5105 or the makita equivalent.
Not sure but most likely. I just realized the 5105 is a Dolmar.Do they have heated carb too?
Thanks for the heads up on the 5105 H.
I guess I should become more informed before I impulsively make a purchase. What would be the main difference between the two models?
I also did a google search and came up with mostly results in German.
Not a hope, I had three of them, good saws, but if I were buying onlyI read the whole thread! Quite funny and informative.
Just one question: Will the 501 pull 404 on a 52 inch blade with 9T?
I’m considering the 501 only because it’s light and comes with heated handles and need a light saw for a specific job this winter. I already have several 372’s and a couple of 2165’s and a MS460 as well as 3 346’s. I’d go 16” max on the 501 with 3/8.Not a hope, I had three of them, good saws, but if I were buying only
one saw I would consider something else, there is a lot you can do with
the 501, but if you are into bigger wood or need to cut wood faster
then get a bigger saw, even the Dolmar 5105 or it’s blue twin the
Makita EA5000.
Speaking of the 5000 Plus, as an option you could buy exhaust heated handles regulated by a valve.I doubt very much that the Echo would stand up to the Partner. My 590's are essentially Partner 5000+'s. The Dolmar 5105 is only a wee bit more than a Jonny 590, power-wise.
That is only guessing tho.
You already have some light saws..I think you are just trying to talk yourself into another saw. Ha!
Oh, right, but you want heat. I see..
