Echo's New Top handle chain saw
Original Message May 19, 2005 2:54 pm

I think that is a great idea. I'd buy one. It's on the home page of the Echo Website.

I does look like that would be a bit tricky to maneuver, the way the handle is centered. If they contoured it more, I see more people liking it. Looks like it's for light & tricky work anyhow.

They have had these forever. Used to be called 021 I think. Never seen a tree service without at least one on the truck. Usually one of the most used saws they have. If I remember they were about $500.

Last year I looked for a light trimming chain saw...

Research led me to the Echo's''.... this new one was not available then....

Never bought or used a top-handled chainsaw... used an $80 top-end hand-ax for trimming instead !
