Husqvarna and echo are not the same company or maker. I do have an Echo chainsaw, I think that is my 49cc motor. That Echo has a 20 inch bar and it is a eger beaver.

So my advise is to get one powerfull enough to not bog down or you will be going over the same area over and over to cut it. A powerfull model will knock it down on the first pass.

You may not need a powerful one if you only trim a 20 foot sidewalk, then go with electric.

I paid over $350.00 for one of the profesional Stihl models and it burned out in three seasons.

So good luck hunting. I'm just happy mine are working good now (knock on wood)
Echo and Stihl are basically the same.
