I have an Echo 4400 that is a good all around saw. Starts easy and runs strong for its size. I have 2 Echo trimmers and an Echo back pack blower in addition. People here like to knock them because HD carries part of the line up. They are well built and dependable. opcorn:

There is nothing wrong with Echo saws, if you like it then buy it.

MS-660 is the answer !!!!! What was the question.........
.
You got that wrong - it should read;
Ms 361 is the answer, whatever the question is........

Get the Echo CS440. You have used it and like it so get it. 16" max but might try a 14" bar as they are very handy working around lots of smaller stuff.
Any of your choices would work fine for your purposes. But you might as well get something that feels and works good for you.

By light years the best saw of the bunch is the Echo 440. All metal construction,closed port engine,great air filter ,ridiculously ez to work on.One of the best kept secrets on the market.I have one of each (Stihl 025,Echo 440,345 Husky) and there is no comparison.
Have used the MS250 thought it was a good saw for that size:sword:

I do not have a good Husky or Dolmar Dealer
Guys, I know Husky and Dolmar make good saws. The problem is no one in my area handles them. I will not buy a saw from some big retailer who pays their help minimum wage, people need to make a decent living. I will not buy a saw via the internet. For those of you who do, don't cry to me when it breaks or when you have to wait a week to get a bar or chain. I support good local businesses and what I have available are Stihl and Echo, so that is what I will buy. For those of you who buy over the internet, please don't complain when your local supplier of bar oil, premix, chains, etc. closes, remember you are one of the ones who put him out of business. I will buy locally and hopefully a few years from now I won't have to drive 50 miles to get a replacement bar and chain. I would appreciate any intelligent input any of you have on my choice of saw. I do not need a 48" bar or 28,000 rpm to trim and cleanup. I do want a dependable saw that I can use for 8 or 10 hours a day a several times a year. I don't mean to step on any toes, I just believe firmly in supporting local business.
