The new Echo CS-600p is available from your Echo dealer! Not on the usa web site yet but it is available! I have not run it yet but I did get lit. and pricing!
Looks like a all orange 028. Seems they put a real bar and chain on it though, not like most echos.

Whats wrong with Echo chains, all you to do is go over the the bench grinder and grind off all that safety crapola. Does look kinda like a 028, wonder whats under the hood. Steve
In my area its pretty hard to find Echo equipment, except for a couple of items that Echo does really well or nobody else really does at all. I don't expect to see the 60cc saw, although I've been considering buying something in that size again. Echo dealers just don't seem interested in stocking much echo product.
IMO, Echo is suffering in North America, at least their marketing isn't doing too well. The last brochure lists models dealers cant get, and has no mention of models they can. I'm in the market for a brush saw, and used to respect Echo trimmers...but am not looking for a 23cc saw with a flex shaft that will obviously struggle to power an 8" blade. The website lists a 40cc model, about right, but dealer couldn't get availability info.
Pretty hard to keep dealers stocking product like that.
