Nigel Rafferty are great, they are now agents for Oregon too. I attended their open day and had a chat with the Oregon guys. I like echo saws, the 620 is a great one to try.

Great review. Just to let you know, we have new 56V batteries now available (56eFORCE) which feature improved tech and will give around 25% longer run times on the DCS-2500T. Keep up the great content 👍

[@cornwalltreeworks7828]

Sounds like a great improvement! Glad you liked it 🙂

[@cornwalltreeworks7828]

Would you be keen to send us one out to test compared to the standard ones?

"the main reason I didn't go for the Husqvarna was the price" Yup. Same here. The *significant* price difference drove me to Echo. So far, ZERO regrets.

[@cornwalltreeworks7828]

I’d love to try the husky but so far this one is doing the job just fine 🙂

Holy sh*t that thing is powerful. This may take the arborist industry by storm. Being that lightweight, maybe it’s more susceptible to kickback? But damn that’s impressive. Good review man 👍👍. Stay safe and thanks from Detroit, MI.

[@cornwalltreeworks7828]

I did try and get it to kickback and it never really did, even when trimming or plunging with the nose of the bar 🙂 Glad you liked it!

I love mine.. I only use it for reductions as it’s not got the power for anything more. Best thing I did was put a panther bar and chain on it! Cuts much smoother now.

[@cornwalltreeworks7828]

Yeah a lot of people have mentioned the panther bar and chain, I think it’s gonna be my next purchase. Thanks for commenting 😊

[@nicod1886]

You stick with the same size panther bar? Everyone seems to be in agreement in going with the 1/4 pitch chain

[@lokaniukas]

Enjoy the hook, once you fully discover 1-handed clipping on and off ;)

Отличная пилка. Пользуюсь тоже аккумуляторной цепной пилой Makita 302 .

I have the 2511tes and love it to bits. Got it ported and have a wee panther bar on it with a 1/4 pitch conversion. I found the original echo bar and chain to be pretty appalling. Have you found that the original bar and chain on this battery saw are a bit naff?

[@cornwalltreeworks7828]

I seem to be getting on with it ok, but I am keen to try the panther!

[@jkm49us25]

Is this the Echo 12"? What maximum size tree in diameter would suggest? Cornwall, I assume southwest UK. Centimeters or inches is fine.

love to know the total weight with bar and battery
