-33 right now (true temp). This **** is getting old. And continuous subzero isn’t going to let up until maybe Wednesday now.
This is the response. “Hi you have the wrong guy. I don't know much of anything to do with echoes. Thanks”
If I knew who was making the account. I’ve let people sway my judgement because there were several of them stroking the item. Turned out they were just Harold Homeowners that knew nothing about equipment. I let people talk me out of buying an 880, said the 660 was plenty saw. I did save a lot of money, and I love my 660, but I should have gotten the 880. That being said, I love every Echo saw I’ve ever owned going back into the 70’s. I expect all of their new offerings are one of the best bangs for the bucks. A review from a trail worker would be worth ten Harolds.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
Only got to -22 here last night. Warmed up in the last hour and we are sitting at -10. Tonight and tomorrow are supposed to be the bear with -25 to -30. Like Steve I am pretty done with it.
I got behind again! I'll just say my little ms180 is a decent little saw and will pull its picco chain in hardwood with a 14" bar, just don't lean on it, it does ok. It is cheap and it seems robust, I've done 6-7 years of firewood at ~3 cords a year mostly with it. I pick the 365 up for stuff over about 12" though these days. My brother has had his 3 times as long.
I understand the 135 and th small echos are decent too.

Joe,
You need to learn to do some port work. A 660 is far lighter than a 880, and (IMO) both of often lethargic if not properly ported.
My all Asian 660 did 8.6 Hp on the dyno and is a beast. Will easily noodle large Oak rounds, and you can even lean on it some while doing it.
Some of the 066 and 660 improve quite a bit with just a muff mod and timing advance, but cylinder port timing is all over the place.
hi tk - why do u say that? i have had many W D apples over the years, always liked them a lot. used to pick them right off the trees on one stop when i had a paper route as a kid... always enjoyed the smell of their orchard... both when it was flowering and also when apples ripe to pick...I could make that swap only to a person unfamiliar with the Delicious. The only thing going for it are the looks and keepability. I'm surprised it is still grown.
Weather is cold, lows in the mid teens - very unusual for this late in the year. We are getting just the edge of that huge arctic blast.
Yeah that Wawawai orchard and the one a Penewawa were both going businesses back befoe the dam. The one at Penewawa is still there and runs a u-pick every year on just about every fruit that can be grown down there. My 'small locust' scrounge is on the Penewawa road almost all the way down there.
interesting to hear your comments on the orchards down by the dam. i knew they had removed them to other spots, but dint know there was still one close by. will have to ck out that road and area. stay warm. cold getting colder here...
Do you know what needs to be done?
Thanks, I messaged him.
A little Saturday afternoon delight. Some HVBW. About 2 armloads of hickory on the bottom .
-38 this morning. The good news is things should be on the warmup from here. The cold snap is going to extend a few more days than originally expected but we are looking at highs in the (positive) thirties next week.
