Probably the best deal i've gotten in months! 1 or 2 pull start. clean as a whistle-inside and out. sharpened the chain on my timber tuff and it cuts like a dream! guy said it was too small for him- needed more oompf. i wanted it for limbing and clearing my woods of the small, weedy stuff-perfect! doesn't look like it was used much at all. runs and idles great-couldn't be more pleased with a 50 dollar investment. a good one on craigs list. art
picked up the 50 buck echo cs-310 today

I'd like to try out an Echo saw. I have all Stihl equipment which is great, but after picking up an Echo leaf blower I am willing to consider their saws. That blower always starts easily, runs quieter than average, and has done a great job.

I've had my wee Echo top handle arborist's saw for 30 yrs,was HS grad/Xmas present from parents.Gutsy little saw,pretty tough & reliable,barely 8lbs.Years ago it was dropped from 25 ft,few dings & dents to sheetmetal muffler/clutch/sprocket cover but started right up.
Dont turn as fast as newer saws,but I dont move as fast now either most days
:lol: One of these days I may replace it,but long as it runs good I hate to spend $300-400 on a comparable new Echo or Husky.

:lol: One of these days I may replace it,but long as it runs good I hate to spend $300-400 on a comparable new Echo or Husky.i've never had an echo saw before this-just stihl,husky and poulan. i am very favorably impressed with this saw! just spent an hour degreasing,air drying and polishing. looks like a brand new saw! hoping it will indeed serve me long and well. thanks, art
Echo has long been #2 with a bullet in the top handle saw game. We'll see if Stihl's new MS201T is a worthy heir to the throne. The MS200T (albeit pricey) was IMO hands down, the top handle machine to own.
Master mech- i also have an 034 super. probably-no definitely- the finest saw i have ever owned!! bar none! got the echo to limb with-the 034 is a bit heavy! art
