    I have an Echo 900 that I found on the Cincinnati CL lat year. Did't have to pay that sort of price, but they do not come up that often. Most I have seen were priced in the $300-$400 range. I will post a picture when I get home, I could bring it to the GTG if make it (and replace the starter rope I broke at a GTG lat year).

    Could you even imagine running that thing all day! You would have arms the size tree trunks!

    It was not the biggest saw they imported into the U.S., the 1001 was. They had larger saws, but they were never sold here.

    Definitely not an everyday find. I'd let it languish at $500 for a week or two on CL and then start trying to talk some sense into him. ;)

    He's only about 30 minutes from me. I used to work over that way.

    I have been told there were only 8,000 built, but I have no way to confirm.

    Nice saw, but a little steep. IMO.

    For $300? I may be a buyer? :)
