Echo DCS-2500T chainsaw review

[@Johnnyreengo]

The production quality is astounding. Nice work!

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot9403]

Really glad to see Echo getting some play time. I really enjoy my 2511t and 620p.

[@Femalelumberjack]

The 2511t is a really nice saw

[@timberandtools]

I agree echo is a great saw!!

[@WAVETUBE84]

Yeah, that harness ring is GENIUS!

[@davesfarmforestvideos8395]

The beginning is cool, and you do a great job explaining what you like about this saw.

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thanks

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Thanks for the inclusion of pounds! Hoping they bring this saw to the US!

[@Femalelumberjack]

I hope they will too, it’s a great saw. Thanks

[@mediocrefloridaman]

They have it in the 2020 US catalog so hopefully its available here soon.

[@johnsimmer976]

Another wonderful video. I love your carving on the wood pile too, So cool! LOL

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thank you

[@cybercork3891]

Would you recommend this over the husqvarna t540i xp?

[@scottmoorhouse5664]

Have the 355T with 14 inch bar, but that saw looks fantastic. You're right on with that guick release. Thank you for the review😁. I always send them to my good friend who has tree service.

[@Femalelumberjack]

THANK YOU! Much appreciated

[@hazzagawa]

Hi What is the tool carabiner you are using for the one handed connection removal of the saw?

[@famasmaster2000]

Well done...you are right about pulling a cord every time too. It shld save the joints over time 👌

[@Femalelumberjack]

That's where you really feel the difference :)

[@kennethsizer6217]

What exactly is that chainsaw hook on your harness??

[@thomasgronek6469]

WOW, I currently climb with a Homelite Super Wiz66, and it's a bit hard to use with one hand now that I'm 84 (the oiler and all). Besides, I don't want to drop the Homelite, it might put a hole in the ground. Thanks for the video.

[@brerrabbit4265]

Damn, your 84 and still climbing? I'm 52 and wondering how much longer I'll be able to climb. You must be one badass ole timer. Rock on.

[@aquaman7356]

My goodness at 84, you deserve “climber and chief” status. I’ll concede to your brutal honesty. I’m 64 in somewhat good shape, but absolutely no tree climbing experience - I’m considering buying one of these lightweight beasts and going for it. I can do anything with “KZbin” instructions, right?

[@marksolomon6169]

Came across your channel awhile back , your doing great keep it up and stay safe. 👍🏻

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thank you

[@GreeneGene33]

Hello, great vid. What is the name of the yellow quick release harness ring and who makes and sells it, thanks?

[@TimberTrainer]

A great accessory for these saws is the FTC lanyard. I've been using one on my 2511t. It looks too small, but has excellent reach and is pretty strong.

[@dudeski934]

Is there a comparison between that saw and the top handle stihl

[@litholi9103]

The belt hook for this saw looked great. Who was the manufacturer? Did it come with the saw? Thanks for the videos.

[@garybenedict3394]

Great content short and to the point. Thank you

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thank you!

[@garywilhelm6939]

Love the way they put ring ,other saws u have to turn saw to hook ,good video

[@mediocrefloridaman]

I love my old reliable cs-355t and I've been wanting the 2511t for a while but i think I'd rather wait for this thing if the price is reasonable. I'm looking forward to rocking that light weight, quiet, and reliability that echo is known for. I just hope the batteries would last more than a yr or 2 without needing replaced. Why not add a solar panel to those batteries to charge while in the sun working?

[@antoniocarrasco7103]

Hola, cuánto le dura la bateria trabajando?. Saludos

[@rodneymurphy3722]

Do top handle saw kickback more than regular saws?

[@tillespeli7652]

@Femalelumberjack Awesome review! Would you recommend the ECHO or the STIHL? According to the manufacturer specifications STIHL battery lasts twice as long.

[@Femalelumberjack]

The Echo

[@mikapinomaki7159]

Looks very handy for arborist work, good video🙂

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thanks

[@jkm49us25]

What would you suggest is the maximum diameter that the Echo 12" battery chainsaw would be? Is it useful with hardwood trees like oaks and such?

[@nicolaeichim06]

Great video 💪😊 seems a really nice saw to own. It comes out like sword 😁

[@Femalelumberjack]

thanks

[@bastogne315]

It takes a 12inch too. I'm going to get mine now. I'll let you know how it goes!

[@bastogne315]

Ok got it. Took down and diced a 10 m fir on two batteries. One thing I love is the fact it's got 2 chain brakes the on off switch is perfect for securing the saw safely one handed while climbing. The down side..if you're out in the boonies you need a power source to charge the 2nd battery while you're using the 1st. 2nd prob if you put a hot battery in the charger it won't charge it until it cools down. :( But otherwise I love it, so handy, clean, no noise, not a hope I'd reach for a petrol saw again.

[@ondrejoutrata9625]

@@bastogne315 Hi, would you still go for 2500T as a main prune saw for a warm season and do you still use it?

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thank you, yes it’s a great saw

[@nhmountains5683]

Hi, how long is the battery run time compared to a tank of fuel in the CS2511T? Would 2 batteries equal one tank?

Hey there nice review lumberjack. Not sure if you got to use for good period but how did you find the battery life?😁

[@dmsentra]

Can I ask where you are that you have bought this saw? Approximate price? I haven't seen one for sale in western US yet.

[@harambereincarnate]

Thank you for showcasing this saw. Do you have any idea how one could get their hands on this saw? I can't seem to find it anywhere online!

[@TheWoodsman661]

Another nice and informative video!

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thanks

[@VK2FVAX]

Have you ever looked at the Shindaiwa Japanese top handle saws? I'm dead curious about them and would love to hear a review. Eg 362T or 280T.

[@Femalelumberjack]

No I haven’t.. sorry

[@billtruttschel]

I want a mini battery-powered chainsaw from Echo. Like a 6" pruning chainsaw that I can use with one hand.

[@tomwilson8190]

What's that saw hook u are using? and what was the run time of the battery ? I run a t535li but switched to 1/4" sprocket to run a 10" 1.1mm bar and chain...it makes it a beast and struggles less in the cut.

[@Femalelumberjack]

It's the Petzl caritool. Sorry I don't know the runtime of the battery

[@ericlevo8336]

I have the cs 2511 X series. I think it's the best small chainsaw I've ever tried. It's much more handy, lightweight compared to her competitors, and much more powerful than the previus cs 2511 not x series

[@Femalelumberjack]

It looks like a baby chainsaw :) but cutting performance is great!

[@pyro666pete]

how long does the charge last and how long to recharge?

[@ECHOTools]

Hi Pete, run time is calculated at about 20 minutes continuous use at full power. These results have to be as conservative as possible so the reality will be different. You can find a lot of reviews on KZbin that discuss run time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGS5haCMjJpqaKM&t=

[@JackMorganCollier]

Hi does the battery tend to last a day can't decide which battery top handle to get between echo and 161

[@dirk_krueger_baumkrueger7612]

Ah ok 👌. Danke!

[@JustSendItSaws]

Great video! Do the batteries interchange with any other tool line? How does the torque compare to the CS-2511. Do you feel the dcs-2500t has a lot more torque? Love the video as well, keep on putting out great reviews!

[@Femalelumberjack]

Yes you can use the batteries in other Echo tools like the leaf blower and such. I haven't used them side by side. Thank you

[@michaels8706]

Any word on the US release date?

[@chriscoleman1839]

Why no info on battery runtime? The saw could be great but no use if a battery only lasts 10 mins. You said you dismantled trees with it, you must have some idea??

[@happycamper6352]

Just carry a backup battery. Feels better to have the extra juice on your harness rather than a much heavier battery on the tool at arm's length.

[@bastogne315]

Yeah 20 mins. Defo need 2 batteries. Read my post.

[@mr1982davies]

hey there hope your well how long the battery last on it on a take down will it run through half a day or will u need to buy more spare battery im yet to use or test one of these yet as im glued to my 2511tes lumberjack tree climber myself from wales uk love the videos and you have gained another follower on insta

Hey what sort of run time do you get out of the battery on this saw ? If your pruning all day how many battery’s would you need

[@genetherapy666]

But if it were just some smallish fruit trees, then............?

[@tedjohn441]

How long does the battery last compared to other battery powered saws and compared to a tank of gas on a 200t?

[@happycamper6352]

I haven't found a battery saw that can stand up to a 200T, but they're still great to use due to not wasting gas during idling, less weight, no pull string when in an awkward position in a tree, quiet between cuts for easy communication if you don't have insanely expensive bluetooth gear, etc. I personally love the 201T, but I'm warming up to battery saws for the aforementioned reasons.

[@AdrianBois]

Love this review. What batteries can you use? How many Wh? How much time it needs to full charge? How much time it last? If you compare with the gas chainsaw wich one last longer with one tank? The charger is 110/220? What about the chain is 1/4?

[@Femalelumberjack]

LBP-560-100, I believe charge time is 18 minutes. I haven't compared it with the gas chainsaw to see what lasts the longest.

[@Femalelumberjack]

Used it all day yesterday deadwooding and half a day today pruning

[@kencanoe]

the 2511t is good with the stihl 1/4 bar and chain and muffler mod...with standard setup it's not great. The weird thing to me about the battery echo is how boxy and plasticy it looks... so chunky, what goes on in that boxy space? I tried the husky battery saw but went back to my MS 150 as it was lighter and better. If the battery echo can be modded as the 2511t has been...AND preform as well, then that would be the icing on the cake...the US market wants to know

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

very good review , the hook thingy is cool ! these wood bo nice in our log trucks for trimming pulp loads ! can batts be charged by inverter ? i,m sure yes ! thanks !

[@Femalelumberjack]

Thank you. I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean about the battery

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

@@Femalelumberjack well if you have an inverter it will change 12 volt dc from a truck or car to 110 ac to run yer battery charger it would be awesome in the log truck to trim brush or vine if needed ! you could google dc inverter folks use them a lot in campers / caravans etc !

[@lokaniukas]

Expect the charger to consume approximately 300-400W of power. As long as inverter is able to supply that there shouldn’t be a problem.

[@ericvandewiele3333]

hello, what chainsaw hook do you use?

In this video im using the Petzl caritool, but it's because of the design of the harness ring and not the hook that it comes on and off so smoothly

Thanks for the video and by all accounts a great saw. Always one of the biggest issues is battery life. Here Echo does it self no favours. "Up to" is the most disingenuous term to use. Reading forestry arborists comments, it isn't 20 minuities at all.

[@happycamper6352]

I'd rather have a second battery on my harness than more weight at arms length while cutting. Better yet, I would love to see a company have a strong battery on the harness with a powered hanging cord to the saw so that the saw has no battery weight at all.
