Efco chainsaw

[Treebeard]

I wanted to see what the real experts thought of this saw. I am going to look at buying a 20" saw, comparable to a 361 stihl. Has anyone run this kind of saw before? What are your thoughts on it?

well sense no one else wants to post , I will, Here is my thoughts on the efco saws , I have run I think 5 different models of their saws , I have ported all of them so I took them all a part to do the machine work. Some of the things were just not as nice to work on as say a husky or a stihl and they seem to be heavier per cc than the 2 big brand saws , Power was not to bad and I'm sure they will last a long time but for me and this is just what I think , unless its a hell of a deal I would sooner buy a saw from the big 2 brands , both of these companies are coming out with some pretty nice stuff now as far as power goes and weight

Thanks for the input. I did buy the saw on Saturday for really good price. 200 now 200 later. As I needed this size saw for today. It does have a few more cc than the 361, and the guy I bought it from is their dealer around here, so it's worth a shot.

There is nothing wrong with Efco saws and if you got a good dealer that is far more important than just about anything else and by the sound of it you got a good price as well
