    I love this saw! I have been having lots of shoulder and elbow pain from overuse and this has helped get me through. As long as you keep the chain right, don’t force it and just let it cut , it’s amazing what it can do for being toy size and it’s quick. It’s pretty darn light, sometimes I forget it’s hanging in my schembiner . I now have one in each truck I like it better than my Sthil 150t … and it’s cheaper! Other than the first day I never need the primer bulb, starts in 1-3 pulls and just takes 20 seconds or so to warm up. I think I’m going to have to tweak my personal one😀

      @@alexstrings Its been great, no problems. just keep the air filter clean and a sharp chain. Maybe turn up the idle after a few hours. Nice clean cuts for pruning and you can use it for topping out smaller removals. I also bought two Echo 355t with 14inch bars and they have been great so far also.. A little heavy, but lots of power and cut the bigger stuff quick when climbing.

The small education lesson on sugar pine and alder is a bonus.... Since we don't have all your species of tree out east here it's a nice learning lesson from you when you take a moment to explain things, like madrone being the best firewood ....

I need to open mine up yet but I'm gonna wait for an extra muffler in case i don't like it. The no sights really is a problem there is not a straight line on it to go off of.

  • @garyd3725

    I like the little marks you make at the edge of your notch as a guide to judge your back cut. I’m going to try that next time I fell a tree. Last trees I fell was a dead 80’ ash and I completely cut the notch through and the trunk slid on the stump then it hung up on a branch of yellow birch next to it, same height. I ended up dropping the birch to bring both down. Very sketchy for me.

  • @joescissorhands141
    @joescissorhands141 2 года назад +1

    Thanks again for making this vid, it helped fully sell me on this amazing saw, but I'd still had a 25cc (zenoah g2500 clone, 2lbs heavier but otherwise perfect) so couldn't justify it, anyway the g2500 finally went - almost 3 whole years!-- so thankfully I now have a 2511t and, being such a small guy, I can't believe I didn't go do this sooner it makes SO much difference to smaller guys like me who do more 'acrobatic' type climbing!
    FULLY agree Re the primer, honestly primer bulbs almost seem unnecessary to me (still don't understand why, at around 50cc's+, suddenly they don't provide them anymore?) To be fair to Echo, their 355t - total work-of-art - had its primer bulb FAR better-protected, and honestly as a proud 355t owner, when I got my 2511t my 1st thought was "Darn, this feels even chintzier than my CS-590 (which is MUCH chintzier-feeling than my 355t, which just feels like a rock), I know the 355t can take insane beatings/hits as I've had it nearly 2yrs, the 590 is just ~6mo at this point but has proven durable (only minor abuse so far though), the 2511 man I'm wrapping the handle with elec tape, JB'ing rubber 'feeties' on the bottom, putting that aftermarket debris-shield on my flywheel side, handelbar tape on the side-grip etc etc!!
    I've always found Echo's to be incredibly reliable and durable machinery (hence why they're my go-to for smaller / climbsaws), the 2511t is amazing in-hand and on-paper but I'm still holding mine thinking "This feels like the build-resiliency I'd expect from a 151t, not an Echo'!)

  • @wicklamulla
    @wicklamulla 6 лет назад +5

    Hello August, when you apply the choke for a cold start you should not have to 'manually' move the choke lever back to the normal 'run' position with your fingers as simply pulling the trigger resets the choke for you. I had the original Echo CS2510 TES and it was recalled by Echo Uk and we were all given the newer CS2511 TES as a replacement at no extra cost. I run mine on the 0.43 stihl chain and bar too but i opted for 10 inch. I do wonder if the Saw King actually cut open the muffler and removed the 'Cat' which is a disc shaped lattice work which cleans up the emissions or did he leave it in situ and simply muff mod the saw along with the ignition advancement? I reckon 'Cat' removal is the way to go. A ported 2511 would be wild. Regards from the Irishman.

  • @hillbilly4christ638
    @hillbilly4christ638 3 месяца назад

    You have to use the primer bulb. Five or six pumps with the lever ups, one or two pulls to pop off, drop the lever and one or two pulls and she is running. Generally, when the saw is warm, one pull and she is going. I really like that. My small husky is like that. I can shut it off for a few minutes and one pull and we are running. That kind of consistency makes you real confident in the tool. Ripsaw does wonders with this little saw. Some guys run a longer bar with 1/4 after the port and she really cooks. Small fuel tank, but hey carry a couple small bottles and away you go.

    Great video as usual August. Love them all. I'm not an arborist, just an enthusiast. Would love to see your take on my climbing saw, Echo CS-355T. It's heavier than your saw, along the lines of a 201t, but has more power than the 2511. Sadly it also does not have sights.

    Have you tried the compact adjustable bulldog bone? It is so easy on and off the rope! the best for natural crotch redirecting! Easy to dial in also.

    Cool video! Is the saw bone stock or has it been nodded in any way? Just looking for a different saw to use for trimming.. the stihl and husqvarna top handle saws get heavy after extended use!
    Nvm.. I just finished the rest of the video lol
