    Why no love for ECHO chainsaws?

    I have had a Echo CS530 for about ten years great saw, I also have a Stihl MS391 which is about 8 years old. The Echo is great for limbing trees smaller stuff, although it has plenty of power to buck trees as well. The Sthil is primary used for bucking and felling and is also anti-vibe.
