Cawdor118 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Echo are decent saws, the don't have the brand name of Husqvarna or Stihl obviously but perfectly capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have a soft spot for echos, I've had 2 cs3500's as play things. Light revy saws. Id have one sooner than a husky but I'm biast to stihl anyway. Should be a good saw 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windswept Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I've had a 352 for over 5 years and it's cut a large amount without problem. Takes a couple of tanks to loosen up. Mines not an auto-choke but it's the easiest saw I've ever tried to start. The only downsides are parts can be a bit harder to get hold of and I'm not overly keen on the large teeth on the VXL chain as it can be a bit grabby on a small saw.

Ricko Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 What sort of jobs will you be using it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshAndy Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have a lovely echo 2700es on eBay at the moment great revvy little saw but need something a bit bigger for a new job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonker Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the replies so far guys, i Have a chance of getting a fair bit of Ash from a local tree surgeon who is cutting Ash die back for the NT. he'll have lots he doesn't want to bother with. So basically It'll be used for rings for firewood. I have an old Stihl 028 wood boss I think it is but always a pain to start so thought I'd go new.
