I searched the internet today for hours no efco 162s except overseas, no john deeres either.no cub cadets made by efco either. a member on here has new 165s NO WARRANTY $350 delivered but its less power.and heavier than 162 or 962 good deal if you are not worried about warranty and also parts are definately an issue with those saws and their parts are high! I should have bought that echo cs 600p awhile ago it went for $398.00 + 22.00 shipping but my wife was home. I have other saws so its not like I cant live without it but the echo is 13 lbs(powerhead) and 162 is 12.1 from what I read.
Just got a good deal on a cs 56 so now have a nice pair of Effies. Whats the best muffler mod for this saw? Didn't see much in other threads.
The CS56 is a damn stout stock runner... I like to call them "heavy handed"...
Not to mention SEXY!!!
The green and yellow with the black accents gets me every time. Look at your saw, now look at mine, now at yours, now at mine. Its too sexy for you, isn't it?
Hedge, 3/8 or .325?
Some work on public/state/forest service land, you may need the screen. Consult your local laws. Just saying.
If you are not fueling it pig rich, the screen shouldn't hurt much, but I will grant some.
.325... Bone stock, just getting broke in... Limiters HAVE been removed though... Bought it off a fellow who won it in a raffle and never fueled it... It's like a throwback, but the boys love it!!! It'll get "the treatment" soon... And be switched over to 3/8 to comply with the rest of the fleet...
I got mine with an 18" .325, and thought it cut pretty good, but I swapped it out to 18" in 3/8's, and that worked great, but got a new RSN 20" .050 in .325 for about $12 shipped, and it ended up on the 56, and that cuts well also. Now I have a 52 in the fleet and its twin for sale. Have yet to cut with either.
They are set up OK, not the mess that Husky's seem like to me, and not as parochial as Stihls, and have a buddy thats an Efco dealer so parts are no problem for me.
