In the PNW, used nearly new Echos go for little over half price-- while clapped out clamshell Ranchers and Farmbosses are listed for near new prices. I love that slightly used $225 Timberwolf with a muffler mod and tune is a better saw than a $600 460 rancher or Stihl 311
Having run my dad's 460 rancher (that got a muffler mod while it was here) and my neighbors 311.. you are absolutely right. And the 620p that I settled on owning... smokes em.
I use my 4910 with the stock 20 inch bar as my limbing saw. And have cut a couple big trees with. It has never failed me. Good all around utility saw !!
My most precious saw was my father's 1985 Yamabiko Corp/ Echo twin opposed 66cc saw. The one I have was sold under the John Deere name and painted a yellow green color. No chain break old school stuff. It's in perfect condition. I keep it pristine and put it to use a few times a year. My pop's saw!
If you ever find any then the Echo EVL line of saws are really nice to run. They definitely don't have the performance to run with the modern stuff but they look/sound cool and feel nice and smooth to run.

I’m game for summer to be over so I can get back in the deep woods, between yellow jackets and snakes they own them woods 😂. Imma have to get more set up for next year this time.
i just bought my first Echo CS 8000. its just few days old with me...new brand for us here in Fiji and hope its a good Saw.? i did some research before purchasing it and hope this is a real deal saw.😊😊
Like Makitas this is a straight commercial grade saw line that aint have fill saws like home, farm etc which increases costs of saws for that maker. When i visit Makita, Echo, Zenoah they are all one grade saws which makes it easy to not waste time in shop comparing with others. It keeps dealer showroom less cluttered too
As much as I love my husqvarna saws , when it comes down to it I would sell them all , and keep my echos and jonsered 2172 , I have the 620p , and 7310p , and at some point here I’m gonna pick up a 4910 to replace the 501p that I gave my neighbor (because the only difference between the 501p and 4910 is cosmetics , they are the exact same saw but the 4910 is about 100 bucks less msrp) I would also keep the 592xp (if it ever comes in that is I ordered it in feb/march and now they’re saying that it’s not gonna ship until feb of 2023 ….oh well it’s worth the wait . Hey body I’d be happy to donate my Milwaukee saw to those people if they’re interested in it let me know as much as I love it I kinda wanna replace it with the new dewalt one or the double battery one they’re gonna be releasing next year
Outstanding set of Echos; covers many of your needs. Connoisseur?....very well. If you are itchin for a new 60cc saw. Amazpn has the Makita 6100 for $539.
Wow,what a pile of....Echo saws.Maybe get the Turtle Wax out and polish some of those turds? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but Echo saws are the only thing you could leave beside a busy highway and nobody would stop and take it.
A REAL saw guy can use any brand and get the best it has to offer.I love husqvarna,too,but there are too many cool,capable,good cutting saws out there to be brand loyal
It's an $800 saw in Europe. It would be a tough sell in the states for more than $400. Cost to build a quality small saw is nearly as much as a big one- a few pounds of material is the difference.
