Echo Cs-355T Chainsaw 16Inch 35.8Cc

I am a professional tree climber and until my boss purchased a 355t 3 months ago absolutely hands down all the way stihl msg. Shortly after I had to buy one for myself and I am impressed. You can actually over cut limbs rather than hoping the saw gets through it in time for the limb to do what you need it to do. I have not used a stihl 201 but I can't imagine that it could get much better for the extra 175

Bought this little bugger to replace my 200t that someone wanted more than myself. Only had it about 4mos, and so far could not be more pleased. Seems to be extremely well engineered. Ergonomics are superior to the Stihl IMHO. Light weight, well balanced w/ a 14 on it, decent power,not quite in the same league with the 200t, but less than half the price. Blows the ms192t out of the water, ran one of the first 201ts and I enjoy running this rascal more. Don't care much for the Husky top handles, and that's coming from an avid Husky guy. Now only time will tell how it holds up, but with a best in the industry warranty I believe ECHO is confident in their product. I own several of their other outdoor products and have never had a lick of trouble with any of them. All this being said I think there may be a CS501P in my future, to go along with my 27 other saws, Husky, Jred, Stihl, and Dolmar, ranging from 30cc to 121cc...... that should make the wife happy!
