Chainsaw

[Bmyers]

I wasn't sure if this topic should go under gear or someplace else.

Anyway, my first chainsaw is a STIHL MS170. Nice saw with 16 inch bar, but quickly realized it was going to be to small for some of the task we had planned. Yet, It rides on my tractor most days because it is lightweight and can clear a path easily.

I purchased a STIHL MS271 with a 20 inch bar. It has done well and tackled most of the projects we have had with little to no issue,

Yet, we are now starting to get into some larger trees and the 271 is struggling. Even with a new chain, I need a little bigger saw.

I looked at the MS 500i and the MS462, but my checkbook said no. I looked at the MS 362CM with a 25 inch bar, but it is running close to a $1,000 if you can find it in stock.

So, I'm considering the Echo 620P with a 27 inch bar and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it?

Haven't had experience with anything like that since I was a kid in the woods of PA.
