Limbing saw opinions

[CoreyB]

But Iam happy Dolmar delay releasing new models until there right rather than sell it too customers and let them have the teething problems

Very true some saws have been out for years with many updates and still have trouble.

If I didn't have my 192 I would be looking real hard at the little echo 361p

Wondering if those have a different coil from the 360t

Idk everything I have heard is it is just a 355t but with a rear handle. But it seems like the modle numbers are different in the US then they are in other parts of the world.
Is there something special about the 360t coil?

Im not a fan of Echo top handles. They're good runners but my 2 lasted 6 months before everything around the motor was broken.

No I don't like the 360t coil I wish it spun another 1,500 rpm or more other than that I like my echo top handle. Next will be the 355tes or the still 150 cause how small n lite it is.

Guess that is a good reason not to trade my 192 in on one of those 361p. I would have thought they would hold up better

I agree about the durability factors. It would be nice if the tanks/ bar mount were a mag case. Performance wise I love it. Just wish it had a bit more rpm. The only saw that beat mine in the races was a 200t cause of rpm.

192 is a slow saw imo. But they do the job and that's what counts. The new husky top handle is a pain in the but to work on and I can't get over the angle the the dogs are positioned. My echo is more than paid for and still going strong after 4 plus years of work

I should've said the newer top handles the older ones like the 3400's and the older 360T's were well built.

That is my only knock against Echo, but they do run good.
