I always read it as E. Mapples.

Stihl have had Echo

If you are considering Stihl, check Smith on 10th and Portland, Power Pro on 240 and May, and Atwood’s in Norman. Smith and Power Pro are very knowledgeable and have a vast parts selection.
Metro Turf also is decent.

Smith has always treated me the best on new purchases.

Had good very luck with Smith on my Honda lawnmower that I thought I destroyed and bought my smaller generator from them.

Got my ZTR from Metro Turf mostly since they were closer if I need service. I did right off the bat and they didn’t blink an eye on getting me taken care of.

As did I! I was wondering who the heck would spell Maple as in the tree with two P’s. Heck, I’m even a fan of Good Will Hunting and familiar with the quote. It still went over my head.

Not a property owner any more, so I can't help the OP at all. Been living in our RV since 2011, and haven't had to trim trees or mow lawns in quite some time.

That said, I did get out with this storm and cut out some branches and move tree "parts" to piles. I guess I got bored enough. My go-to saw is an old 3-foot bow saw. Biggest issue I had was occasionally needing someone to hold a limb just right so that the bow saw didn't bind up.

Between the work we did and the ice melting, our Ford D450 and RV are pretty much limb free now. Just need to wait for the RV park people to collect the piles of limbs.

Think I have it narrowed down to the CS-3510, CS-361p

The one on I have is a 355T, they have a tiny little monster called the 2511T (which is stupid light like 5 lbs) I may buy one of those because they are so cool. The 355T is pretty close to the Stihl 200T in size and feel (but not cost).

Thanks. It has been so long I wouldn’t remember if that’s the one or not. Been almost 18 years since I use to do that work climbing trees and all. Good looking little saws. I looked them up after you gave me the model numbers. Thanks

My cousin is a commercial landscaper and has a 2511T and Stihl 160. He loves the little 2511T. Says he's ran it all day, and cut through everything like butter.
