Get them while you can. The JD saw will be gone soon, replaced by Stihl.

From my experience, they're well built saws, but the ones I've used seemed heavy for their size.

Good saws. Same as my Cub. IMHO though, you could save money by finding an EFCO dealer(not always easy, but there is one 20 miles or so from me). I got mine as a closeout, but it seems if they paint it green, the price goes up. Good luck whatever you decide.

The next saw I buy will be a Stihl Ms361 C-Q. (I really want the 460 but can't justify the price difference) I was just curious about these. I think Northern sells Efco's. They look decent enough.

This might be a dumb question/statement...obviously you'll be selling EFCO parts, correct?

WHY? They are overpriced. Get a 962 Efco while you still can...also badged as a CS62 John Deere. Incredible saws, great power, narrow profile - they are the MS440 of the 60cc class saws.

Hey four paws,

I have not seen a 962 for some time, they are now the 165 model. Is the CS62 the same as the old 962??? Thanks Ryan

I appreciate the advise and in all honesty I don't need that much saw for the occasional work I do. It boils down to this: I used a stihl pro saw, fell in love and vowed to get my own.

The CS62 is the same as the 962. There are some dealers out there with 962s still available...I would recommend one highly!

My brother has a cubcadet commercial. (efco rebadged) he is not a big fan of them. Plastic worm gear broke

I googled efco and couldnt find website for them. I was wondering if there is a dealer in my area.

Boy do I feel like a 'tard,a guy from the UK has to tell me there is not only a dealer 7 miles from my house but the mnaufacturer is about an hour and a half drive from here too.

Since Deere is dropping this line, ya'll might be able to get a good deal in a few months when you stop by to look at those pruddy tractors.

 

[Wood Cutter]

When is deere dropping the line, I had not heard about that. (Maybe I need to get out of the friggin city more often)
