Dang Mitch quit twisting my arm.  ;)

I'm thinking of going to one of the smaller lighter ones now.   Just for my uses.

Have you tried a 435T?  Call me crazy but I like em.  Power is there, vibes are low and relatively inexpensive.  Not one mechanical issue yet (beside the early warranty carb replacement).

Never ran the 435T - Redmax 3500

Hi Mitch! 8)

I'd also be interested in seeing how it compares vs the Echo CS355T.

Very impressed.......I'm not much for workin on saws, but I know I'm gonna luv that air injection set-up.......no more pullin the filter off every 2 tanks of fuel !  ;D

It likely is more important that they moved the air filter to the rear end (vs. the 338xpt etc.)?
