Please PM me the # you have in your mind... I mean we have determined they aren't worth a frogs tits so I may take it
couple more weeks.....or if snow starts flying sooner. going to continue running till weather turns and the H models come out. I will keep this thread updated when i decide to off it. @BugaBoots and @CoreyB will get first shots at it.
No clue what i am going to replace the 620 with. already had a 2260/6100/6400/590. not interested in carrying a 2166 around for my 20" saw and a 362 doesnt interest me....i get to run them enough already to know i dont like them

The real point is that neither the PS-6100 or the P-620 is anywhere close to the top of the 60cc class - that's just the way it is, nothing to discuss!

I'm glad my 2260 stays neutral here[emoji1]

I would own a 2260 long before I would ever pick up a husqvarna 560 or 562xp

Not to play the devils advocate here but, this thread is for comparing the dolmar 6100 to the echo 620p. It has nothing to do with best in class 60cc or a husqvarna for that matter.

You know, you can insult me an mock my country as much as you want, this wouldn't change facts [emoji1]. You are the only Echo fan who act like this. This behavior jus show how childish you are.SawTurd's been hitting the homemade hooch again...crap will make him go blind. However will he continue to read all those HP ratings?
BTW: Everyone except SawTurd and Haddick know they are BOTH great saws. I think those two might be married to each other

You're too F'in funny dude. It's like taking candy from a baby.
BTW: I feel in the interest of full disclosure, I should tell you that I like Stihl and Dolmar also. I like the performance of Husky's but I just can't get over how ugly they are. The two best looking line of saws are Stihl and Echo. I understand why you are so sensitive about your beloved Husky's, but facts are facts
.Round and round and round we go... You know whats great about Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, Dolmar, Makita etc etc etc?
They are all different. I could give a rats backside what all the brochures, #'s, marketing or reviews say. I respect everyone here but we really do de-rail every thread with the words; Which/what/Echo/Husqvarna/saw/60cc in the title. They all have pro's and con's. If you haven't ran a saw, you probably shouldn't be shitting on it. Here is a neat rule of thumb we can go by:
-If you haven't ran a saw (ex. 562/620P) don't openly **** on it.
-If you are answering a question that wasn't asked of is far outside of the OP's "scope" of the question, it probably should be communicated via PM
-Arguing a repetitive point or thought just shy's most away from that point
I say this because I believe we have a lot of knowledge here and often times it gets trumped by someone saying "Well the specs say this" or "I've heard but never actually used..."
I think that's all that I need to say, just my thoughts and observations. Carry on...

Ignroing specs is typical of the Echo fans, don't you understand that the EU specs are true, even in the USA?
They simply don't post them in the USA, because they are embarassing.

Every PS-35 we sold and have in stock is German. Maybe different distributors have different batches?

But the power specs posted are a very narrow view. There is more than just hp that contributes to working power. Torque curve, rpm, power band, gear ratios, and rotating mass are just a few. I mean by just going off of specs is worse then believing a youtube video. To many variables with to limited information.
No saw manufacturer releases that information publicly. Does this mean they are hiding stuff or embarrassed?

yeah, right...and there's 3 different brands of saws in my sig. 11 Echo's in yours.

That's the problem.
-When specs say an Echo is weaker or more heavy than the concurrence, Echo fanboys says "specs mean nothing"
-When someone post a comparative video on YT, like me, they say the same.
-When a good respected member like Fordf150 (who sell JRed, Dolmar AND Echo! He has no dog in this fight!) say the Echo is too weak (20% slower than a 6100!!!) and heavy for a 60cc saw (and more expensive in this case), after running it for weeks, the Echo cheerleaders will disagree again.
This website is supposed to be informative, no? What should we do? Should we all agree that the 620 is the best saw ever made just because Echo's fans decided it's like this?

Yes @CapitaineHaddoc this Web site is supposed to be informative and is......
just sometimes you have to wade through some excess muck.
It seems some people can not stay in partial and others have to inject their own obsession even if it is not applicable to the discussion.
I am thankful for many of the opinions and info people shared while I was searching for my saw. I guess this is where I am supposed to add that the Dolmar 6100 is the only choice because it is best. It has better fuel milage and air filtration like a real top notch and interesting 60cc saw. Yes that is a poke at the 562 extreme fan boys
All joking aside I feel the 6100 is a good enough saw for me to spend my very hard earned limited money on.

I agree about the 6100. I have the chance to use one for a week, like I did with the 620. The 6100 is still my second choice after the 562/560/2260. But I'll choose a 6100 over a 362 any day. The 620 is my last choice.
I had the chance to use professionnaly many 60cc saws these last years, and this is my top:
Husky 562 (560 and 2260) -> Stihl MS361 -> Husky 357XP -> Dolly 6100 -> Stihl MS362CM -> Stihl MS362 -> Stihl 036 -> Echo 620 -> Echo 600.
The only "bad" saw in this list is the CS600. I hated this thing, I tried it when I used Stihl 361, and it was the worst "pro" 60cc saw I ever use.
Edit: And when when talk about money, the 6100 is the best bang for the bucks in the USA, but here, it's even better. €200 cheaper than the Husky's, €250 cheaper than the Stihl, and €300+ cheaper than the 620.

Read my comment under the video.
"Indeed, the Husky IS faster, it is a fact. It is also more compact and handy. The Echo is also a great saw, I was able to try it again, and it has more low-end torque that the husky. It is especially widely better than the CS 600 and CS 610. But the size difference between the 2 saws is too big for now."
