Can I get some thoughts and opinions regarding Echo chainsaw?

Nice pup you have there as well. My wife like German Shepard's but we have an Australian Shepard instead. He's a rescue pup, 10 years old and acts like 3. Good watch dog at barking but that is it. I'm good with that. Good driveway alarm.

This summer actually. He and his wife have been here at least 3 times now and we need to reciprocate. My ongoing health issues have kept me here more than anything else.

He knows all the 'good spots' being a lifelong Mainer and being a Mainer, he's very frugal as well. I tend to use some of his Maine slang like 'Dooryard' and Hot Top' and a few others I cannot post on here.

Like my wife, he's retired Federal. We seem to gravitate around Federal employees, retired and otherwise.

Well I hope you make it out here, you'll enjoy yourself for sure.

She's our 2nd GSD and she is the goofiest pup; we've also got a poodle-St. Bernard mix, but she is the missus; dog, and she knows it.

I've heard Australian Shepherd's are good dogs, almost too smart for their own good. They're definitely beautiful pups!

Too smart for his own good sometimes. He plays my wife and I all the time. Only bad thing is, he needs groomed professionally regularly, he's a certified hair grower.

I see your CS came with the optional bumper spikes. Mine didn't and I had to order and install them myself.

You know, when doing research, none of the pictures seemed to show bumper spikes. I didn't even notice them on the display model at the dealer, but I definitely noticed them when I unpacked the saw and wrapped my fingers over those spikes.

I'm late for the party as usual, but you will like that saw. I have a CS490, a CS590, and their biggest brush saw. They are a bit heavier than a Husqvarna and don't turn up as fast, but are good solid saws and I bought the three for a bit more than the cost of a 562.

I had an Old echo chainsaw I bought at a yard sale when I was about 21. I paid 40 bucks for it. It was probably at least 10 years old then.. it ran fine when I got home.

I used that saw for 25 years not very often but when I wanted to run it, it ran every time. finally the rope broke on it and I gave it to my dad on trade for a small steele and I gave him $100. He fixed the rope and gave it to my nephew. as far as I know it is still running.

That's good to hear; it really seems like Echo makes a solid product.

I hop that chainsaw works for you ... I only cut one tree with my 25cc then I lost patience with it and went and bought a 60cc... even now I am thinking about a 70cc

really not meant for cutting trees. Meant for limbing and aerial work. have to be a tiny tree with the short bar.
