Product Round-up Chain Saws Cub Cadet CS 511 chain saw The Cub Cadet CS 511 chain saw is designed for pruning and felling branches, cutting firewood, and anything else imaginable. Because the 4-cycle engine (on select models) doesn't require mixing of oil and gas, the CS 511 requires less prep time and delivers more fuel efficiency. And with lower emissions, it's better for the environment. There's no need to struggle with a cord every time the operator goes to work. With Cub Cadet's lithium-powered cordless starter, the operator will be able to start the engine and get to work right away. Echo introduces new 30.1cc top-handle chain saw The latest addition to Echo's top-handle chain saw line-up is the CS-303T. This chain saw is based on Echo's most popular and best selling top handle chain saw design and is ideal for the professional arborist, landscaper, or utility company. The CS-303T uses a proven engine that has been redesigned for increased power, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. The saw is available in 12- and 14-inch bars and features an automatic/adjustable oiler, a side-access chain tensioner, a vibration reduction system, a purge bulb, and an inertia chain brake. The CS-303T is lightweight, well balanced, and starts easily — whether on the ground or in the tree. This saw comes from a long line of durable and reliable tophandle chain saws and fits nicely between the lightweight CS-271T and the powerful CS-355T. As with all Echo chain saws, CS-303T is covered by a one-year commercial warranty and five-year consumer warranty. efco MT 4400 chain saw The all-new MT 4400 by efco is a mid-size chain saw that even a demanding professional can appreciate. The 3-piece crankshaft with a forged connecting rod and 2-ring piston allows for high efficiency in even the toughest environments. An adjustable aluminum oil pump gives the operator control over the oil speed, allowing the perfect amount of oil for every job. Maintenance on the air filter is easily accessible by using the tools-free twist knob on the filter cover; efco's self-cleaning air filter design allows for maximum filtration with minimal maintenance required. The MT 4400 also has a decompression valve that is usually found on larger, pro-level saws. Husqvarna 550XP chain saw Designed for professional loggers and skilled land owners, Husqvarna's 550XP chain saw boasts RevBoost, which provides instant high chain speed for efficient de-limbing. Its X-Torq engine technology provides more power, up to 20-percent less fuel consumption and 75-percent less exhaust emission. The slanted cylinder design gives the 550XP a lower profile, allowing for greater control. Plus, the retaining function prevents bar nuts from loosening. An optional feature is TrioBrake, which allows the chain brake to be activated either automatically by the inertia release mechanism or mechanically by hand.
