The CS600P is a great saw.
I wish they made a good big saw.
I have a 1001 but just cannot bring myself to buy a 1201 as I would never have the heart to fuel it and pop it's cherry.
I also have a Echo 100 but I doubt many have seen those.

Why don’t they offer the large echo in us? Emissions?
Well the Echo 1001 is very much a older production saw. It is a 100cc saw from the late 1970's.
The 1201 is the newer version of the 1100 which became the 1200. It is still being sold outside of North America. I believe the primary reason is emissions just like why the Stihl 070/090 stopped being sold here. Also in all honesty there just is not much demand in the USA for them.

If folks are actually going to spend $2000 on a 116-120cc saw here they will go with a 3120 or 880
My opinion is the Stihl 070 and Echo 1201 still sell elsewhere because of course no real emissions laws and they will burn a more wide range of shall we say "fuel quality levels"

Have you ever worked on any Echo's? I wonder if they make anything decent today.
Haven't had too many problems working on my echo saws here in Alaska. I've always received free service manuals to download and good parts availability from at least a half dozen companies.

Also, echo has been good on the warranty, sending parts free of charge on saws that are many years old.

I've noticed you mostly sell junk saws that you're not willing to spend the money to fix, so a non running echo shouldn't be too much of a problem for yah?

I had the opposite experience of what you described. I spent the $2000 on a new Stihl 881 for milling. I didn't like the saw at all, for a multitude of reasons. It was no milling saw.

It was replaced with a CS 1201 and it is the pinnacle of milling saws.

I also run a full wrap CS 900evl every week, falling/prepping saw logs. It starts at 30 below zero. The original 91.6 cc saw, long before my stihl ms 660 that it replaced.

I hate ALL chainsaws !!!!!!!
Are you developing a mental allergic reaction from over exposure to Chainsawz? Mebbe a change of scenery and or environment will alleviate some of that "HATE". I would suggest you concentrate on some of yer other entertaining pastimes and let them generate income to support the Fambly. You seem to have a following of friends thet want you to branch out into the PIGGY RENTAL perfession.
you are they one always saying imma cut some one

lol 2 different saws the 460 and 455

lol the 361 was better than the 362 they tried copying husky with lol
You must have been desperate, searching for the last ounce.
361 was all Husky tech, like a mini 372. Except for that goofy muffler, Stihl definitely dropped the ball there. Most likely on their own heads.
