ECHO expands chain saw portfolio

CHICAGO, Ill. – At the Tree Care Industry EXPO in Charlotte, NC November 14-16, ECHO put a focus on chain saw power by emphasizing its most powerful top handle saw, the CS-355T, and its new highest horsepower per displacement saw, the CS-620P.

Weighing 8 pounds, the ECHO CS-355T chain saw has a 35.8cc commercial grade, two-stroke engine that delivers 25 percent more power than the CS-360T. The chain saw features a palm rest that adjusts to three palm sizes, cut-outs on the dual-post chain brake handle and rear-mounted air filter.

Formally launched in July, the CS-620P is a 59.8cc high power professional chain saw targeted to professional arborists, loggers and professional firewood operations.  Based on the proven CS-600P engine design but modified for more power, the CS-620P is 13% more powerful than the CS-600P. With its professional features and competitive price, the CS-620 has a sister product called the CS-620PW which features a new wrap aluminum handle to give the user more options when felling a tree.

Also highlighted at the show was the company’s new general purpose saw, the CS-590 Timber Wolf.  Positioned within the popular 55-60cc semi-pro chain saw segment, the ECHO Timber Wolf is targeted to the large landowner, farmer, rancher, firewood cutter and homeowner.  Its professional construction and features provide high performance, easy starting, simple operation and quick maintenance.  Available in 18” and 20” bar lengths, the CS-590 is powered by a 59.8cc professional-grade engine.

And to add an entertainment element to this year’s show efforts, ECHO gave away twenty CS-355T chain saws during the show.  Booth visitors who stopped by to learn more about ECHO chain saws were given a chance to win one.  Read what others say about the CS-355T at http://www.echo-usa.com/CS-355T
