Jonsred 670 or Echo 670 vs my 036

[Ray Bennett]

I really have an itch to fill the void between my 036 and 460. I want to try either the Jonsred 670 or an echo 670. I am not sure why but i think ya-all understand. I have a lot of stihls and want to give something else a try. I know the specs on the saws but I'm looking for first hand user info. I don't care much about power head weight because almost all my cutting is bucking firewood. I like the extra saw weight, I think it makes for faster bucking. My question is will either of these saws give me more grunt than my 036. I would think the extra displacement should help but would like to hear what those who have used these saws think.

Never ran an echo 670 but a jred 670 will blow the doors off an 036.

I am pretty sure it will, if it is a Super or Champ, but the Echo most likely will not.........

Performance wise,the Jonsered is in front of the Echo with no problem.The Echo is a very good saw,reliable but slower than the Jonny.

Yep, about .4 kW/.5 hp slower, and some rpms......

The 036/360 is inbetween.

The 036/360 is quite a bit lighter than the others.......

Ray I have had a Jonsered 670 champ for 9 years and love it. Never ran the other 2 saws. I keep a 24" bar on it. Have ran a 36" on it. Handles it but don't get in a hurry. Since joining this site have purchased a Makita 7901. Jonsered 670 is a good solid all around saw.

Good call Ken, the 670 is a legend.

Not to highjack this thread, but Sawtroll do you know if the Husky 390 is available with a heated wrap handle?
