    20151102_201517.jpg Posted earlier today about a possible score on an Echo 33oT on the local CL. New in box. Asking $175 and offered $150 - 10 minutes away and it's now mine. I've ran Husq T435 and T540's, so I'm sure this will seem a bit under-powered, but never owned a top-handle and I'm sure this will make a nice light limber for tops. May have a chance to get a little trigger time with it tomorrow - need to buck a bunch of big oak - planned on running the 372, but will take this along and limb some of the other trees I haven't started to process yet. Will post my first impressions. Cheers!

    Sweet deal! I've got one I picked up at Home Depot a few years back wish I had done it sooner use the little guy all the time. Be curious to see how it runs for you mine was pretty sluggish gave it a muffler mod a little intake work and pulled the screw stops on the carb.... Much better now:saw:

    Great - heard the muff mod is worthwhile and will likely do so once I'm done cutting and can enjoy some time in the shop. What did you do to mod the intake? Cheers!

    You'll be amazed at all the crap in that little muffler!

    It's sure a real tight little honeycomb of restrictiveness
