355t or cs590

[lube]

I want both of the two but can't afford both, at least right now. No pro here, just someone who uses here and there at home and on hunting property. I already have a bigger and smaller saw, but I really like both echo models and just echo in general. I can not decide on which one to get first. help

Unless your climbing trees get the 590.

If you're not climbing and still want a small saw, get the 361P, the rear-handled version of the 355T. Much safer and easier to handle on the ground. What size stuff are you cutting? I have a 60cc but rarely need anything that big. I get far more use out of my small saws.

Just smaller type limbs I suppose. The reason I figure top handle is because I can use my tree climber to climb and cut some shooting lanes in specific areas I hunt that are good spots for this upcoming bow season. I will look into the 361p. I also figure a timberwolf because only one specific time a giant hickory closed off the road to leave the hunting area during a suprise snow storm, had to have someone bail me out so I could leave.

For the small amount you will use the top handle I'd buy the 100 dollar 25cc chinese one and get the cs590 to use for everything else.

@NSEric 100 dollar 25cc chinese one?

One of these saws. The proyama gets good reviews, it has the newest best plastics and 2 bar nuts.

If you don't go the cheap Chinese option, for a casual use saw look at the Echo CS-3510. Same size as the pro 361P but much less expensive.

Sounds like you want a 590 and a small battery saw.

 

[esean]

Or a pole saw to trim shooting lanes...

its easy to forget that if its just for occasional use a battery saw in the flavour of the rest of your power tools is a good choice that requires essentially no maintenance and doesn't care how hard you pull it or how fresh your gas is.
