ordered a echo cs-271t. draggin my poulan 3050 or my dolmar ps-5105 up a ladder to trim was just too much for me. should get the new one tues the 5th.
O YA! I am an Echo FANATIC lol but this is totally unbiased when I say nice enjoy that saw! We used to lug a 4620 up the tree with us and its not fun. From the ground you think I am gonna look cooler than Tarzan and from the tree you think I wonder how hard this is gonna hurt as you cry….
Congrats !! I have one. Just put 5 tanks through it today. You will find urself taking in out more times than not . It is an addicting saw. Break it in... Then pull the carb adjuster caps.... And do a little muffler mod... You wont believe how much better it will run. Let me know if you need a hand with this saw... I can help open it up
A good top handle is a great addition to any fleet. I love having one for clearing brush and limbs from the logged tops where I get my firewood. So nice to be able to drag the brush without putting the saw down.....really saves the back Enjoy your new saw when it arrives.
I hated my 330T, not because it wasn't a nice runner (post muff mod) but I never got used to the top handle feel. The flip side is I have a buddy who cuts more wood with his top handle than his big saws. Hope it serves you well. I would gut the muffler and re-tune right away.
Nice. Those are great saws for those who climb and cut I just passed on a Jonsered 2135 for $175 shipped. Looked to be in great shape and was a great price. Keep us updated on how you like it.
I seen that one and a 338 for same price. Being I sold my 2 338 and 637 for $200 a piece and 1 338 was like new. I had to pass on both too. I really want a lighter one like the 271 or a 150 someday. Nice pick OP
Be glad you passed !! Im sure they run nice...but they are not very balanced ..a least in my hand . Ill bring my 271T when I come down Dex !!!
You wont be sorry with the 271 !! Half the time I cut bigger stuff than I should with it...makes it fun
All gone.... That might have been the watermelon from TN. Best I have had. The blueberry from KY was real good too. Then there was the.....you get the idea.
I new a fella that got a 4320 up a tree, boss wasn't happy! I think the hardest thing will be getting used to the top handle.
I like the feel of the 338 in my hands compared to my 200. But my 200 was a runner. The 637 was sweet too and better AV then 200. I love a top handle for 1 handed limbing. yeah yeah call the police.
