Echo CS-500P

admin — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 11:23:50 +0000

Introducing the Echo CS-500P. Until recently I haven’t had much time using Echo products but I must say that the more I use their products the more I am impressed. The Echo CS-500P chainsaw is right on the heels of the Husqvarna 460 Rancher. The only downfall that I could really find was the price. With the Echo coming in at around $50 more. Other than that it is pretty much user/brand choice.

Features:

54.1cc Power Boost engine
Available in 16″, 18″, and 20″ bar lengths
G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner pulls out dirt prior to air filtration
Decompression valve for easier starting
Digital ignition system automatically adjusts engine timing
Heavy-duty, easy-access air filter system
Automatic clutch-driven oiler
Side-access chain tensioner

This saw will cut through almost anything you throw at it with ease. Very powerful yet not over weight. Another plus is the easy starting.

The McCulloch chainsaw may not be the avid outdoorsmen’s first pick for their top chainsaw, but for those look for for a reliable yet affordable consumer/home use saw, this provides a valid option. A lightweight, and aggressive/dynamic design provides for a aestically pleasing saw. Although it is a good little saw if you are looking into doing some serious cutting you may want to spend a little more and go with a more powerful and heavy duty saw.

Husqvarna 450

Husqvarna 450 Chainsaw Review

The 450 delivers 3.2 horsepower, making it well-suited for medium-duty jobs, such as pruning and domestic cutting. The engine features Husqvarna’s special X-Torq technology, which reduces emission levels by up to 60 percent and fuel consumption by up to 30 percent, so you’ll be able to harness the power of a gas-powered chainsaw without having to worry about heavy pollutant output.

The 450′s engine has been built to withstand years of use. It uses a three-piece crankshaft, which has been forged and compressed for superior durability. Also, the chainsaw’s centrifugal air cleaning system helps preserve engine life by removing harmful debris before it reaches the filter.

With the 450, you won’t have to waste precious minutes trying to start the engine. The chainsaw uses a combined choke/stop control, which allows for easy engine starting and reduces the risk of flooding. Husqvarna’s Smart Start offers an engine and starter that starts quickly with minimum effort–with resistance in the starter cord reduced by up to 40 percent. It also has a specially optimized fuel pump, which keeps the fuel lines clear and helps facilitate startup.

The Husqvarna 450 has a lightweight frame that minimizes strain on your body, even after extended use. Husqvarna’s LowVib anti-vibration dampeners effectively absorb vibration, sparing your arms and hands from added fatigue and allowing you to work longer and more comfortably. And it features a smartly designed rear handle with soft inlay, ergonomic trigger, and asymmetrical handle.

The 450 is designed both for fast action when cutting and when you need to modify the chain saw while out in the field. It includes a snap-lock cylinder cover that saves you time when changing the spark plugs or cleaning the unit, quick and easy tool-less chain tensioning and assembling of the bar, and a quick-release air filter for quick replacement. And the transparent fuel indicator makes it easy to check fuel level.

Other features include an inertia activated chain brake that helps reduce the likelihood of injury due to kickback, distinct marks for better felling precision, and an air purge function that removes air from the carburetor and fuel system for easier starting. It’s backed by a 2-year limited warranty.
