Chain saw
My little 20V Dewalt isn't up to the tasks around here. I'm thinking of upgrading to an Echo CS-2511pn. "Lightest rear handle."

BTDT. At age 64, I need something a lot lighter, and can hire the guy for the bigger shit.

I have the 14" Echo chain saw. Works good and is reliable.

I have an Echo CS-2510…the dealer version where you can actually buy filters, spark plugs and decent chains. I also have a 4510 but that is relegated to big stuff. The 2510 is a real back saver and easily used with one hand if clearing tangles of branches. When I bought it I was told it was their most popular saw with the tree trimmers. Easy start every time. Go to a real equipment store. The place I went to sells both Stihl and Echo and if you don’t have a bias, Echo is their favorite for low repairs and easy strart. The 2510 is pricey, about the same as a 4510. Best Chain saw I’ve ever had.

I have a Stihl MS251. Good machine.
I actually want a small light weight battery saw for light work and trimming. |

For short bars like this you find a top handle saw easier to handle in more situations.

They don't make the 2510 anymore. Looks like the 2511 is its successor. |

I have no experience with a top handle saw, which is actually 1/2# lighter. I need to cut some small trees, 6-10" range Also a few larger stumps close to the ground. Tell me your experience doing that with a top handle.

The last time I used it my back hurt for several days. But the Dewalt 20V I bought for small tasks is really only good for 3" or less. |
