PORTABLE POWER | Chain Saws Echo CS-271T With a 6.6-pound dry weight (without bar and chain), Echo’s new CS-271T is the lightest gas-powered chain saw available in North America. Available with a 12-inch bar, the CS-271T boasts a 26.9-cc Power Boost Vor- tex engine that delivers power and durability. An easy-access, rear-mounted air filter provides excellent filtra- tion for long engine life. The i-30 starting system reduces starting effort by 30 percent. A G-Force Engine Air Pre-Cleaner pulls dust and chips from the air box, providing a clean air supply to the engine. A digital ignition system automatically adjusts engine timing for optimum performance. An anti-vibration system reduces opera- tor fatigue. A side-access chain tensioner allows for easy chain adjustment. Echo Inc. 156 from efco The 156 chain saw from efco features a 4.1-hp/56.5-cc engine that is ideal for felling large trees and extensive use. Weighing only 12.1 pounds, the 156 has an excellent power-to-weight ratio. The anti-vibration system completely isolates the engine and handle units for reduced vibration, making long jobs more comfortable. The 156 is backed by efco’s “Five-Year No-Fear” (5-year consumer/2-year professional) warranty. efco/Emak USA Powerhorse chain saws Powerhorse chain saws from Great Plains are engineered to meet the demands of both professionals and homeowners, delivering power, performance and value at every start. Available in 14-, 16- and 18-inch bar sizes, each chain saw features a dependable Walbro carburetor, quality Oregon bar and chain, a shock absorption system and automatic oiler. The complete package includes a chain saw case, wrench, engine oil and bar oil. Great Plains Husqvarna 555 and 562 XP chain saws The Husqvarna 555 and 562 XP chain saws boast a sleek and slender design. The slimmed-down height and width of the chassis makes each saw easier to handle in almost any application, and the distance between the front and rear handles has been optimized for efficient, comfortable operation. On the inside, the 555 and 562XP take advantage of Husqvarna’s reduced gyro force technology. By reducing the weight of the saws’ key moving parts — fly wheel, crank shaft and piston — there is less interior movement in the engine, which cre- ates less gyration. These interior and exterior features provide excellent control. Husqvarna Professional Products, Inc. Jonsered model CS 2172 Following in Jonsered’s 70-cc chain saw tradition, the new model CS 2172 was engineered to deliver the per- formance and reliability that made its predecessors popular among professional loggers. The CS 2172’s de- sign and appearance resemble the CS 2171 it replaces, but the CS 2172’s Clean Power engine delivers more power and up to 20-percent better fuel economy while meeting emissions standards worldwide. Its flatter torque curve provides better low-end power in felling and bucking cuts, without sacrificing the fast chain speed and acceleration required for efficient limbing. Additional features include a decompression valve, side-access chain tension adjust, steel coil spring anti-vibration, inertia-activated chain brake and Jonsered’s Turbo pre- cleaning air filtration system. Jonsered/Tilton Equipment Co. RedMax G5300 The RedMax G5300 is a professional, high-speed limbing saw. Its MaxLogic ignition system provides quick and easy starts with lightning acceleration. With 3.3 hp. and 53 cc, this chain saw has ability to easily and effi- ciently tackle even the toughest jobs. The G5300 can accommodate 16-, 18- and 20-inch bars to meet almost any application.
