I really never experienced that series of saw....and one was given to me. A 'Yellow" one. For my typical drama and non sensical reasons it was time to engage and see what that saw was about...dragged it out of a corner and it pretty much needed gas and a spark plug to make it start and idle. I am IMPRESSED with the quality of that saw, materials, details fit and finish. And ironically the very same day I was working on the "Yellow" 60cc Echo, I ended up with another "Orange" Echo in the 70cc class. But this video was stuck together as I transition away from the subjects done this last month into the future. Loose ends and details...put a Holzfforma g372xt that was a huge frustration into the testing cycle. I think I had that saw on three video's failing before I was able to get it to run "well". That took a complete tear down and modification regiment. And I still really don't know what I did t solve it's issue other than now it runs well and needs to be endurance tested.
Also had some run time with a Jonsered 70e...kind of my fall back position on vintage saws...they always start and I get work done with that saw. Also a Holzfforma Joncutter g2500 made an appearance. A train. Those two Echo's. Splitting firewood....but the real interesting thing really for many is none of that. Kind of dawned on me when I finished posting....and watch it in snippets. ( Can't stand listening to myself, so after editing a video ...I'm done with ME )The fellow I ask to test that g372xt has Husqvarna's for his logging operations, including a 572. One of the first across the pond. And now a couple of years later....you can see how it fits into his operation. To those who pay attention there is a very subtle message in this. I have seen and heard the same for decades and every time a "new" bling comes along in the saw world it's usually the same metrics used after a couple of years ....
