Echo Echo CS-355T
Designed specifically for professional arborists and tree care specialists, this compact yet powerful chainsaw combines precision engineering with exceptional maneuverability. Its 35.8cc two-stroke engine delivers reliable power while maintaining the lightweight profile essential for overhead work and climbing applications.
Weighing just 3.63kg without bar and chain, this professional-grade saw accommodates bars up to 40.64cm in length, making it versatile enough for both pruning and small to medium felling tasks. The thoughtfully sized fuel tank holds 0.33 liters, providing extended runtime between refills, while the 0.24-liter oil reservoir ensures consistent chain lubrication during demanding operations. Echo's Japanese engineering heritage shines through in the saw's balanced design, which reduces operator fatigue during extended use while delivering the precision control that arboriculture professionals demand.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Echo CS-355T designed for?
The Echo CS-355T is a 35.8 cc top-handle saw that Echo lists for professional and arborist use, meaning tree work carried out aloft by trained climbers. Echo does not publish a power output figure for the CS-355T, but at 35.8 cc and 3.63 kg it is sized for limbing in the canopy, not ground felling.
Is the Echo CS-355T a good chainsaw for a homeowner?
No. Echo classes the CS-355T as professional and arborist equipment, and its top-handle layout is meant to be worked one-handed by a climber secured on rope and harness. For firewood, felling or any ground-level cutting, a rear-handle saw with more than the CS-355T's 40.64 cm maximum bar is the safer tool.
What is the maximum bar length on the Echo CS-355T?
The Echo CS-355T accepts a maximum bar length of 40.64 cm, which is 16 inches. That ceiling matches its purpose: limbing and sectioning branches in the canopy, where a short bar stays controllable at arm's length. It also rules the CS-355T out for trunks much thicker than 40 cm in a single pass.
How much does the Echo CS-355T weigh?
The Echo CS-355T weighs 3.63 kg without bar and chain, light for a petrol saw. That low mass is what makes it workable at the end of an arm while roped into a tree, and even with the bar, chain, 0.33 litres of fuel and 0.24 litres of oil it stays climber-friendly.
What fuel does the Echo CS-355T use and how big are its tanks?
The Echo CS-355T uses a two-stroke engine, so it runs on petrol premixed with two-stroke oil. It carries 0.33 litres of fuel and 0.24 litres of chain oil, an oil tank large relative to the fuel tank, which means a climber refuelling in the tree is unlikely to run the bar dry between fills.
