    I'm starting a thread about John Deere chainsaws... There was a long history of Deere and Co. marketing saws at their dealerships. These saws were manufactured by various saw makers from Remmington to Homelite, to Efco... Feel free to post pics of random Deere saws, their manufacturer, and specs if you can!

    Back in the '80's & early '90's,Echo made them for a while.I have a 22 yr old heavy duty JD weed trimmer made by Echo.Still runs like a top.Can sometimes take 5-6 pulls to get going after sitting empty for months,but it was like that when it was new.

    I have a Remington SL9 which was a Deere saw at one time as well. Maybe I'll paint it green! :p

    And I always have my eyes peeled for a 66SV (The yellow equivalent to the 610EVL, twin cylinder). :drool:

    Don't own one, but if I ever got ahold of a 66 or 610? I'd be holding onto it TIGHT!!

    The 610 is easy compared to the 66SV. All you need for a 610 is your checkbook. :D

    Mech is correct...
    I can find ya a 610 or 2 for $$
    But good luck prying the Deere versions out of their owners' hands!!!
    Maybe some day??!!

    They were decent saws but they unfortunately sat on the shelves of our store next to the likes of Stihl and Husqvarna.

    Yup... They were well built and sturdy...
    But nothing set them apart from the rest, and nobody pushed the brand on a national level...
    At least Dolmar made "out of the box" hotrods...

    Dolmar should have been doing saws for Deere just like Makita.
