Echo 355T

[Brock Mayo]

Anyone running a 0.043 gauge bar on the 355? I'm guessing it's not needed, but if anyone has advice? I bought the 355t without the bar/chain out of disbelief at how bad the 2511t bar and chain were.

I have one for my 2511, but haven't used it yet. A WoodlandPro b&c can be had pretty cheaply if you wanted to try that setup.

The 355t comes with a large nose bar like a 201t, which I like, but it and the chain are of the same quality as what comes with the 2511t. The 355 has enough power, weight, and spring rigidity to not jump and chatter in the cut like the 2511 on .050.

I appreciate the feedback, I was thinking 0.050 3/8's should be fine...
