60cc Awesomeness, who is king?

[Skeans]

It really is. West coast is stihl country. I grew up in the Pacific northwest when Scott paper and logging was big. They all ran stihl except guys who moved here from east coast back then. I'm not a logger. My experience is just firewood. Small side business. Price is a major factor for any of us who aren't pros.

It depends on where in the PNW, where I am it’s 50/50 split because of dealers. A lot of the guys run both or have both. Just a side thought a lot hand fallers are becoming extinct with all the tethering going on unless you’re in big wood or something to steep which isn’t much it’s pretty impressive what they can cut with a machine now.

And then the Echo 620 & Dolly Mara 6100 stuck them both & took all their lunch money.

Till the MS362 2.0 was figured out by a certain overall wearing Monkey.

I’m lookin to buy bigger saw ... 064 stock or ported don’t matter - I can mod em myself ... u gots pics ? Vids of saw(s) in action ? I got $ in hand - was lookin at a 288 for $180 but sold from under me

A 288 with mods will not disappoint. Probably wouldn't disappoint without mods either

same tree pretty much on break in day of that 562 pulling a 32 if memory serves it was 5.5x5’ cedar

OK, and? Cs620 will also pull a 32". Most likely better.

 

[August76]

I’ll skip them all, most likely.

I’ll just keep my eye out for a 372. Or a 440.

I’ve got 60cc covered.

I like my 6410 more than my 372xp. But better than my 038 mag . A 440 wouldn't be alot better than a 038 and probably not a good as the husky but again it depends on deals and prices. I never buy new. And love collecting things. Cad

Echo reminds me of Fisher Price toys don't ask me why I'm not trying to be mean but I just always think of Fisher Price When I See Echo stuff

The echo has thicker plastic among other things and notice how most echo guys don't cry over dealer support like stihl guys? Cause they don't need it. My favorite saw is still my worked 288xp and the family 562 isn't bad at all. No way on gods earth will the 562 out perform the 620 with bars on the long side. Suck it up buttercup, brand loyalty won't change that.

We use to sell echo but have always used Husky from the 188 days one for cutting timber, I’ve always liked the way they’ve felt myself. All the time I’ve cut timber out here I don’t think I’ve seen a faller use an echo not to say some haven’t it’s just rare.

Agreed, I haven't seen one either. But it never seemed to be their focus. Their newer saws are a nice change to say the least. They have always made fairly durable saws in their pro lines, but now they are also powerful. To simply assume they can't produce a competitive saw because they didn't in the past is funny. Saws aren't all the complicated, if Elon musk wanted to produce the best saw ever tomorrow he would only have to throw money at it to do so. Seriously these things aren't magic and I'd start to expect other companies throwing gems into the mix in the near future.

I'm certainly not brand loyal. Dealer support? What's that? I probably will never buy a saw new I'll probably never have to worry about it and I fix my own stuff I rebuilt my 03 8 which had a burned-up piston. Nothing special but I certainly don't need dealer support I don't feel like getting butt ****** by the Stihl dealer or the Husky dealer do you think Home Depot will fix my broken Echo haha
I have old echo cs60s super with a 26 inch oregon bar on it...it doesn't run though lol

Yah Elon Musk couldn’t build a saw to save his life ! Look at Tesla ; the Boring company; solar city ... he needs to put down the bong !

A 60 cc saw is like a char half truck half car .

I eat cookies & can’t race for chit so I don’t give a flip about 2/10s of a second on a Can’t Stand.

2 out of 17 told me what I already knew concerning the last batch of 562s that went to Cottle lane.

As in 2 of the 17 brand new units that all rode together had to have their carbs sent back because they were faulty upon delivery.

Do the math: Come to find out it’s a reoccurring problem.

2/10 or 2 seconds faster on a Can’t Stand don’t mean nothing if the saw don’t start or restart.

Rule 1 of a gunfight- bring a reliable gun.

It’s the same thing with using a saw, whether it be a Feller, an Arborist, or a Firewood hack in New York filming with a go pro live from his Mama’s basement: if it doesn’t reliably start, the rest of it don’t even amount to a FABZ story.

 

[August76]

It depends on where in the PNW, where I am it’s 50/50 split because of dealers. A lot of the guys run both or have both. Just a side thought a lot hand fallers are becoming extinct with all the tethering going on unless you’re in big wood or something to steep which isn’t much it’s pretty impressive what they can cut with a machine now.

I have both. My 372 is almost new so I don't use it. Haha. So it's my back up saws back up
