[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3447986, member: 32"] I have to disagree on Echo quality dropping just because they are sold at box stores. There are quality products in both lines. I have an echo saw and its never given me a problem. Stihl is still probably the saw king around here due to popularity and sales/service locations. Some places Johnsred or Husky are still very popular. It really depends on how big a saw though as each has great products. The biggest thing is looking at the EPA rating sticker. All brands now sell entry level equipment including Stihl to hit a price point. They have 50 hour EPA compliance equipment. If you buy one of those its not going to last 15 years. Buy a 300hr rated machine and it will be a quality product. If its $50 more for a 150 or 300hr machine spend the extra money. Here are examples of what to look for. Also pure gas only and quality oil are the most important things for a 2 cycle to last. [ATTACH=full]178611[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]178612[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
