Just another junk chainsaw

[xyz123]

Be glad you guys can start your own saws still. My dad after his battle with cancer lost the strength to start his own saws. He is in his 80's now.
I hooked him up with a easy start 180 for trimming and he bought a battery polesaw for around his place.

But he can still out work my azz up cutting on the hills. I start the saws and hand him one. I have bad lungs with COPD so that is why on that part. I have to take breaks to catch my breath.

Love it when we are cut together and set on a log and hearing some of the old stories he has. He said his dad never owned a powersaw. They used crosscuts and axes together. He still has those too.

Looking down a valley on one of my pieces of land.

That's one thing I miss about my dad. Once in a while, we'd just sit somewhere and he'd tell me a story about his past.

I got to hear a lot more from my father in-law after my father passed away. Mostly while fishing.... and a few beers.

The Echo's all have reduced effort recoils btw. Spring assist.

Spring assist not the same thing as easy start. I have that crap on my echo and dislike it myself. But they have their place for some folks.

Easy start you can wind up with short pulls with 2 fingers and once wound it spins to start. Actully pretty slick. takes no effort whatsoever.

I assume those types of starts have a spring you wind up, then it spins the saw for you?

I forgot all about this older echo 280E 27.9cc 7.7lbs I owned.

Wasnt to impressed with this older one. But lot of folks loved them.

I'm up near Sandusky, so if they are north of you I would take a look.

Thanks,
