'15 Echo CS620PW Information

[Idahonative]

I weighed my CS590 full of fuel and oil ready to cut with a 20" B@C, it was right at 18#, I'm thinking a 372 would be close to 20# no matter what the specs say. To post 477 yes Echo saws have a nice wide power band, excellent torque. Steve

My cousin has a 372 and they are no doubt nice saws with a stellar reputation. For the right price (used), I wouldn't pass one up. But as far as weight goes, there's just something not right about Huskies spec. They list the 372 as weighing 13.4 lbs (pho) and Echo lists the 620 as weighing 13.67 lbs (pho). I haven't weighed my cousins saw and I'm sure he hasn't either but I think he would tell you the 372 was heavier.

I'll do some looking into real world weights. Hopefully there will be some 372 owners chime in. My 620p weighed 17.3 lbs total (no liquids) with 20" b&c:

The only 372 I weighed had a 24" B@C and a full wrap but came in at 22- 1/2 # ready to cut. Steve

Thanks for the info. And this is why I'm really scratching my head. PHO on the 372 at listed at 13.4...is it possible that liquids, b&c, and a little more weight for the wrap could add 9.1 lbs? That seems like a lot.

i don't ever compare by actual weighing saws although maybe i should. i just judge them by the way they feel in all aspects. it's also not all about weight. it's about where that weight is. this is why i choose husky over stihl anyday.

Overall weight is important but you are right, how a saw handles is important as well.

i'm not as picky as most people really. like the difference between the 372 or 390 isn't significant enough for me to notice anything by the end of the day. the echo did feel good but it just won't replace one of my huskies although if they started going into larger saw territory i would give them a shot.

I've about seen enough of you Echo lovers posting your facts, photos and videos... Your need to set down your saws and pick up a Husky/Stihl brochure before you make fools of yourselves.

Well, Echo is the "OTHER" orange saw you know

Could hardly believe what my good balance scale told me about that 372. Steve

I think (FWIW) saws should be weighted with full oil and fuel tanks, after all who gives chicken gizzard how much a dry saw weights... dry saw weight is about as useful as cutting with a chain on backwards... appears ok until you put it into action.

i agree although i don't mind carrying a bit more fluid weight for longer run time. it's gotta be realistic cause nobody likes refueling every second tree. there might be an arguement of needing to refuel every tree but those people just work really slow and/or have their saw stupid rich cause they don't know how to tune. i'm really liking my 576. i can cut alot of wood on one tank.

Did a little more brushing today... ran the 371XP and the 620. Both had 20" bars, the 371XP was pulling an 8 pin just for fun... Echo def a bit lighter but both handle and run great... here is a bit of the work.

you bastards had me browsing the echo site today LOL the CS-800 intrigues me. any idea's on a price point for them. what mount do these newer echo's use? i would need it to run a 33". really surprise the heck out of the guys and show up with an echo if it's as reliable as their top handles i'd be stupid not to buy one. also, does anyone know if the 800 is available with a full wrap? i couldn't find that info. may have to call a dealer.
