New Saw Recommendation

[Tkekic]

I love my Echo. Son also has a couple including one wiyj a 24 blade. He loves them. My Husky did not last long. Still Electric is great for the light work we do. Larger Still has become very hard to start. Con't do better than a Echo.

The little 2511 clone is almost here from Hockfire saws- I finally grabbed the Farmertec G660 kit I bought about 4 years ago off the bench and have started looking at putting it together, found the flywheel removal tool and seem to have misplaced a crank installation tool, has to be around somewhere. Have to find the 28" bar and chain that I must have stashed elsewhere as well.
Definitely going to croakus cloth or ? the port edges, and the cylinder casting has a big amount of flash at the center of the head section that I will need to grind out /remove as well as they cast the intake port off center as well.

Looks like the white orange Stihl color's combo are NLA now?

Blue NLA unless old stock now.

Clone saws of the old saws we all liked. Those are 440 460.

I have had about all of them testing out and for my uses anymore.

3120 880 Gen 2 361 2511 200T 372xp 288 395 660 you name it. The older ones we loved.

Holzfforma Farmertec IMHO #1 in clones.

Ya the pro ones they do the beveling way better then the regular ones.

IMHO the parts kits to me are the worst alot of the times. Sometimes I swear looks like seconds. JMO

I love my MS261c. I wanted something bigger and after comparing pricing for a bigger Stihl I grabbed an Echo CS620p. It's a turd compared to my 261 despite being a bigger saw so I brought it back. The Dealer wasn't happy, but I did get most of my money back and I went down the street and got a MS400c. Never looked back! The Echo 60cc was slower to rev and didn't feel like it had any more torque than my 261 did, but the 400c absolutely rips and has the torque to boot.
