Echo 330T chainsaw gift

Jon1212 gifted me an Echo CS-330T and it is a nice little saw that is going to make it easier for me in my wood cutting when dealing with smaller cuts and limbing. Many thanks and big hugs to Jon1212.

 

Beautiful!
Git 'er dun.

 

The hippy is a good guy. He shipped me some bars.

 

I for the same saw they are good little runners.

 

Great post Kimberly

You're welcome, and it appears to already be quite useful.

 

Nice. And wearing you PPE

 

A generous gesture jon1212. Well done.
Kimberly, be careful running that top handle saw. It does not give you as much leverage for control as a more conventional saw.

 

Thanks.

Yes, Kimberly has been made keenly aware of the handling differences between a top handle and rear handle saw.
For limbing, trail clearing, thinning, smaller bucking, or working in more confined spaces, I felt this saw would be advantageous. Also, the lighter weight of a 330T versus an MS290 is much less physically taxing.

 

Yep nothing like limbing or trail clearing or general easy clean up with a light top handle. Way easier that swinging a 50-70cc saw around to do the same task.

 

Not to mention, safer.

 

Yep!! Things get dangerous. When its 95F outside and I am clearing brush I know I dont tire as fast with my little top handle vs o 60-70 or even 80cc saw.

When your tired and wore out there is a greater chance for error or mistakes/accidents.

 

I've got the torn fabric on my chaps that proves your hypothesis.

 

I do too! Just got the nylon shell. They still remind me of that to this day.

I was cutting trees to big to Bush hog out of a field with my MS390 60cc class saw. This was when I was say 23 so not like I was not strong and full of energy. But it was met and I clearly had pushed my limits.

 

I have an MS390. It is from the 039 to 390 changeover(no decompression valve) around 2002, and I bought it brand new. It took a trip to Cottle Lane about four years ago. It now handles a 24" just fine, but it gets nose heavy.

 

Mine is probably an 04 model. I bought it in 04.

It has a decom

What did randy do to it? Increase ports? Of course a muffler modd. Port timing? A bit difficult to cut squish on a calm shell but I dont put anything past him!!

 

It was early on in porting for him, so I believe cutting squish didn't seem to be a viable option. I know port shaping, and timing happened, as well as the muffler mod.

The video of it is still up on his YouTube page.

 

I like that 290 that was chitty avatar saw! That was a nasty saw! I think chevy man or maybe it was someone else has for sale now.

 

Anyone wants to translate this for me?
