Oct 2, 2017ECHO introduces new compact top-handle chain saw
ECHO Incorporated has introduced the CS-2511T top-handle chain saw – “the lightest gas-powered chain saw in North America and the most powerful in its class,” according to the company.
Coming in at over a pound lighter than the CS-271T, the CS-2511T’s compact size makes it over 20 percent smaller than the leading competitor.
One of the more innovative features is the top-mounted bar oiler. The bar oiler is located on the top of the chain saw, as opposed to the bottom, which allows for easy-access by the operator. This also prevents the oiler adjustment screw from getting clogged with wood chips and debris. The bar oiler is adjustable so that the operator can adjust the flow level of oil depending on working conditions and clutch-driven. Thus, the oiler only operates when the chain is moving which saves oil and prevents oil from collecting under the saw during idle.
This product starts at a MSRP of $379.99 with a one year commercial warranty. The saw has 12 and 14 inch bar options with the 91PXL chain. According to the EPA 2017 Certification Data, the new CS-2511T is the most powerful in its class.
