Climbing With Echo's Electric Top Handle Chainsaw?! Echo DCS 2500T! Good Buy or Not?

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. The Echo DCS-2500T is a great little saw. It was designed for limbing. I have two batteries and hardly ever use the second one. I usually will limb and take a top and then switch to my 355T to start spar work and finish with a bigger saw. You will find the 2500T to be much lighter and better balanced than any of the other E chainsaws. Yes, the Husky will be more powerful....but you pay with more weight, maneuverability and balance. Whereas the Echo is a joy to use, the others are work. How many different knives in you kitchen? You wouldn't use a big butcher knife to cut your steak, you use a steak knife. You wouldn't use a steak knife to cut your apple or pear. JMHO

Right you are. It's a great little saw, I love it! I'll definitely be using it more. Thank you for watching!

I love my Husky T540i bro Its quiet and does what I need it to do. I run a 12” bar and that will get me through most of the brush on a removal. I love how convenient it is to not have to pull start a saw, I rarely use gas topper unless it’s a massive oak tree. Customers also appreciate the quietness of the electric saw

I was honestly impressed with it! It was my first time using one, and it definitely didn't disappoint 🤠 I'll be using it more on pruning operations.

loved the video .. I can tell you love your job. every top cut off you gave it a "OOoOo 😮" 😂 have a good day and be safe

I have the same saw, and enjoy using it. Sounds like you may need to adjust the oiler. Mine squeaked until I kept turning up. Don’t forget to add more oil when you change battery. You get more than one battery with the oil, but it’s easy to forget.

Did you NOT think to bring a spare battery up with you? My apologies; if you're new to battery operated saws; I guess I can understand. I did the same thing with MY first battery saw; bought it and left the store. However; I was already slightly down the EGO rabbit hole at that time; so I had two other batteries I could swap out. It's hard to believe; looking at it from third person objective view; that I recently spent over a half thousand dollars on a single battery! Still a highly entertaining and informative video. Nice job!

What do you do with the logs afterwards? Are they fine for the firewood? Also can,you tell which size battery you had used in the video?

Yer prefer the 1/4 pitch not so much chatter. Seems lot smoother. Thanx good vid

Hi.. What Kind of Handsaw you use?

[@zdclimber]

It's a Stihl handsaw. It's a little cheaper than a silky.

[@Goxus95]

​@@zdclimberdo you use other echo heavy duty saws?

[@treestuff1358]

Is that a 400c with a straight shot in the back ground

[@zdclimber]

Pretty close, it's a 362c with a straight shot
