    Every once in awhile I peruse the chainsaws online. Usually I decide, heck I am doing fine with what I have and walk away. I had a moment just a bit ago and gave in. New Echo 620P with 24" bar. This will be my first Echo product and I think I got a good price at 532 shipped to my door. Picture when it is in my hands.

    Yes, I can really picture it. I have an inspiring image in my mind of a man and his Echo ... echo ... echo.

    It doesn't say if it comes with a chain but my guess is doubtful. Of course if it does it will be a low kick back safety chain so I just ordered a full chisel. Lord knows I will have to fire that baby up for a test cut or 3.

    Arrived today and it did come with a chain, safety chain, but a chain. It even included a scabbard. 20180510_163437.jpg 20180510_163459.jpg 20180510_163513.jpg

    You may as well wear that chain out. It is not the best but it will still do the job. Congratulations LP.

    Never ran an echo myself, but that looks like a badass saw! I'd certainly like to give it a whirl.

    Very nice looking moment of weakness! I really like the look of Echos and most anybody who uses them likes them. I am hoping my pair last a long time but if I ever need to replace them I will be looking at Echo. Apparently we have a very good dealer here in town.

    Enjoy:)
