Need New Saw- Which Saw???

[jayskye2000]

I'm thinking of replacing my echo 702. but I can't decide on the echo CS-670, or the husky 359. I would like to use a 20 or 24" bar. Which saw do you pros think would suit me better for cutting around 15-20 pickup loads of fire wood a year? I'm not a logger, or pro trimmer and remover, so I would like to hear from the guy's who make a living at it. The price is about the same, so WHICH DO YOU RECOMMEND?????

Both good saws. The Echo will have a little more power, but a little more weight as well. I think because you said 24" bar, I might lean towards the Echo, if you've narrowed your choice to these two saws. The CS-670s go on ebay frequently for under $400, so the price is right.

I don't think that the 359 is an option if you want to run a 24" bar, unless you get it modified.

In case you haven't noticed..... .....there has been a couple of treads on the Echo CS-670 recently on this forum.
