    So thanks to Mr. Curry....I'm the proud owner of this beautiful Echo CS-400.
    Ran good before...now after muffler mod and carb tab removal....it's way better ! She screams now ! Thank goodness for ear protection :). This is an excellent limber....and even holds it's own in 12 " to 16 " when needed ! Very impressive what a little muffler mod does :)
    I call her...."Red Lightning " now ;)
    Makes me want to go find another..so I'll never be without a 400 lol ! IMG_20160217_124149948.jpg IMG_20160217_124159509.jpg IMG_20160217_124836430.jpg

    You know, I never noticed until just now... It looks like that bar is pre-drilled for a helper handle. :D You can borrow mine if you ever need it, though I'm pretty sure it weighs more than the bar itself. ;)

    Currently have it mounted on the 60" GB. Meet, "Big Thunder" !! :saw::saw:

    I was skeptical of the 18" bar setup..as I figured a 16" would be ideal....but it actually performs really well...and makes for easier limbing ! I highly recommend this saw...as you have noticed :)
