2020 Echo Chainsaws 30.5 cc to 59.8 cc commercial grade comparison video

My name is Dustin with Echo Power Equipment Canada, and this is a video comparing the weights and performance of our main models offered in Canada. There are others that we sell, but these are some of our most common.
These saws range from the Echo CS310-14 all the way up to the CS620P.
These saws range from an MSRP of $299.95 up to $809.85 in Canadian dollars in Canada.
I wanted to show people the difference in performance, and weights of each saw so that it may help with their buying decision when looking for a new saw. Is it worth buying the $299.95 saw when I need to cut 3 cords of firewood? Or is it worth spending $809.95 to trim some small branches in the back yard? All Echo saws are classified as commercially rated, and come with a 1 year Commercial, or 5 Year consumer warranty here in Canada.
The cut times of each saw is as follows: These saws are mostly new out of the box, with no adjustments and they all had brand new factory spec chains. I was cutting dead and dry poplar, that had been felled a few weeks prior to this video, and the log is about 13-14" in diameter
CS310-14 43 seconds
CS3510-16 38 Seconds
CS4510-18 14 Seconds
CS490-18 16 Seconds
CS501P-18 13 Seconds
CS590-18 8 seconds
CS620P-18 7 Seconds
During the filming I did not know the exact times, but spoke on how each saw felt in the cut. I thought some were faster than the others, but going back on the footage, was incorrect.
Any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below.

I'm that guy that can't help but get the most oversized, overkill, powerful saw I'll never actually need. And I'll love it.

[@RunninOnCoal]

A 620 isn't overkill for anybody with arms. It's a great mid sized saw. I don't know why anyone would use anything smaller if they aren't in a tree. Who cuts up 1" branches all day? You stack the crown in a pile and burn it.

My Echo journey started with a CS400 from home depot, had a new property with many trees to deal with.... After seven years, learning to climb, and working professional tree industry stuff, with other saws.. I still run my 400, in addition to a 2511t, 355t, 600p, then recently I found and rebuilt a 800p.. All amazing machines, for price and ease of use.... Echo should not be overlooked..

[@morgan4xl]

Six months ago I thought Echo was a cheap copy, until a dealer said they were the best they sell. I tried the cs 490 and absolutely fell in love with it! Then I bought the little light weight five pound 2511 top handle and wondered if I should have bought the harder to find rear handle model instead, so I bought a rear handle also to compare. Of course I'll keep them both but I wonder why the rear handle 2511 isn't the more popular one as I like it a bit better. Then I went in the other direction and bought Echo's biggest, the 7310 and was amazed at it's power but the smaller saws are so easy to use I will save big boy for jobs where it will be needed. I then figured I had a small gap in my sizes so after a little research I orderd the 3510 which I will get this week. I'm not even in the cutting business, I just own twenty acres in the country and love to clear dead trees!!

[@mcciaccio]

Thanks for making the video. I have several echo saws now in the mix with my Sthil saws for my tree service . I got a cs490 at a garage sale and have tortured it for about 4 years and it still going so I bought a cs590 Timberwolf and it’s great. I didn’t realize I could buy a better/ pro version of the two but now I will be as soon as I can find them. I did buy a cs310 for the wife . I found out about the cs3510 a few hours later and went back and exchanged it. It’s a great little saw and hell I borrowed it for a few days when my shoulder was acting up. I then went and bought a 355t ,2511t and a pole saw to replace some worn out Sthils. I’m really liking the echo products so far!

Just bought a 590 two days ago. Used it to cut some 22" rounds with a 24" bar. Starts, runs, and cuts like a mofo, love it @ a less cost of the the others. Great bucking saw!!!! Only problem with the 590,,,,,,cant find them anywhere. My loco dealer told Echo has stopped producing them for the time being because they can't keep up with production. I got lucky and found 1 in a dealer in the middle of nowhere. The key to these, and any saw is to purchase them from a dealer, NOT A BOX STORE!!!!

[@ericsalyer2869]

I have the echo cs400 and the 500p. I love them. Just had to do muffler mods and remove the factory plastic limiting sleeves on the carb jets Mod the muffler and tune the carb on a 500p and it’s TOTALLY different And in the winter they are VERY cold natured saws (even before I modded them) Using the little plastic flap for winter/summer REALLY helps when it’s below 25 30degree The echo cs400 has a little rubber piece like a plug. Instead of the plastic flap Move it 90degree to the little holder and it’s good to go! GREAT VIDEO!!

[@obeconoberougle9497]

I'd have liked too seen the 400 and 7310P in this video. I have the 501P as my limbing / small diameter wood saw and the 620P for the big stuff. Excellent torque. The pro versions also have unlimited coils, two piston rings and better carbs as well if I'm not mistaken. The 620P also has a magnesium clutch cover and dual dogs, the 590 is plastic and a single dog.

[@jessewoody5772]

I have had my cs400 for a little over 4 months. I've run about 3-4 gallons of tru fuel thru it and did muff mod and carb tune after about 1 gal. It pulls the 18" bar like a champ. I keep the chain sharp to help get the most out of it and it starts and performs excellently. It goes thru fuel a bit faster but it seems commensurate with the power gains. It is a bit louder too. Its a nice light weight saw that wont tire you out. I have an old McCulloch 610 and wish it had the ease of starting that the echo has. I would reccomend this saw to anybody that wants a good quality assembled in USA saw. And although not absolutely necessary, I would also recommend doing the muff mod/carb tune to experience all that this saw can offer.

[@crazybalony]

I bought a CS620P and this thing is a monster. It eats more wood than the town's lady. All jokes aside, this saw is a beast. I use for everything but overhead cuts. The one thing I'd prefer they had is an easier and quicker access to removing the spark plug. As it stands, you need your torx 27 to unscrew the 3 bolts holding the cover on. But if you're accessing the sparkplug in the woods, something ain't right so it's really not a big deal. Honestly, if you have the money and the strength, get the 620p, no hesitation, you'll be ripping all day with a woody!

[@RunninOnCoal]

I'm a smaller guy, but if you can't run a 620.... it's great saw.

Awesome video of Echo Models and the comparison of each one. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to educate customers on what's available for purchasing.

[@bmfilmnut]

Thanks for this excellent review. It's very helpful. I didn't see you mention one critical difference between the CS-590P and the CS-620P (maybe I missed it). That is that the CS-620P has a magnesium clutch cover instead of the plastic cover of the CS-590P. For me, that's a big difference. And one nit-picking note: You mentioned that you were going to take the 20" bar and chain from the 590 and put it on the 620 so you would have an exact comparison but then you said you put an 18" bar and chain on the 620. Maybe you just misspoke. No big deal at all. I just thought I'd mention it. Thanks again.

From my understanding the 4910 will be pretty much the same saw as the 501P, just with a few plastic items on it, like the wrap handle. Other than that, I think internally, they will be the same.

[@echocanadawestern644]

The new saws that we saw last, and this year, are the CS-7310P, CS-4910, and the CS-2511P. I'll be trying to get my hands on those to do some comparisons as well.

@@echocanadawestern644 Thanks. I bought a CS-3510 actually. Should do the trick!

[@TheBradbates]

I would like to know what the differences are between the CS-400 and CS-4510

[@echocanadawestern644]

A lot! Very different saws. The 400 has the smaller chain, so it will seem to cut a bit quicker in small wood, but will struggle in the larger wood, where the CS4510 has the next size up of chain, so it will handle larger wood better, as well stay sharp a lot longer, in equal conditions. If you go to Echo's website, you can compare them side by side for specs, but to simplify it, Echo has 3 size classes of saws, small wood, medium wood, and large wood saws. The CS400 is the largest of the "Small wood" saws, and the CS4510 is the smallest of the "Medium wood" saws. Sorry for the long winded answer though, I hope I assisted and didn't make things more confusing!

@@echocanadawestern644 That does answer my question perfectly. If I would have known that sooner I would have probably grabbed a 4510. But I ended up going with a Stihl MS261

[@echocanadawestern644]

@@TheBradbates All Good! You will be happy with the 261! Great little saw as well! Might not start as good though. ;)

[@DynoSauR4Truth]

I wish that you had a CS-400 to compare. The 4510 is a bit porky.

[@burnthecandleatbothendz]

I just bought my first saw ,cs-400 .I absolutely love it ! It starts with 1 or 2 pulls .with the 18 inch bar I can't cut large wood but I was able to tackle medium logs without much difficulty. It cuts thru small wood with ease .alot of people love stihl but I swear by echo

[@Rickster8800]

Was anyone besides me disturbed at how loose the chain was on the Timberwolf?

[@kellyjoyner4912]

What's disturbing is ...if that was bothering u so much...when everyone knows he knows exactly what he is doing and just because the chain was a little slack is NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL.....so yea your comment is disturbing..lol..what he was cutting was no chance of any danger happening so calm down bud..it was just a info vid of the specs of saws

[@Rickster8800]

@@kellyjoyner4912 hello troll. That comment tells me you have never touched a saw in your life. A lose chain will not only damage the saw but can come off the bar amusing serious injury. Doesn't matter what you are cutting.

[@kellyjoyner4912]

@@Rickster8800 yea ok boss whatever u say..I only have 9 chainsaws...and 2 commercial pole saws...been cutting trees for 21 years now if u must know..I am sure I cut more trees down this past weekend than u have your entire life..so why don't u stick with ur office job and let the real men handle chainsaw talk and work ...lol

I'm struggling to start the C-590 constantly

[@echocanadawestern644]

Then there's either something wrong with the saw (carb adjustment, spark plug, air filter, fuel filter), or fuel, or starting method. I've never had difficulty unless I have bad fuel with any of our products out of the box. But even fuel from the wrong season can cause starting issues.

[@briangroth7183]

It's brand new out of the box and I'm using brand new ethanol free premium gas and Echo's 2 stroke oil. I've come to the conclusion it fluids its self after I shut it off for any long amount of time. After I let it sit for a half hour the spark plug is wet with gas. If it's the Carb it's not idling to high and when its running it's not dying while idling. Every saw I have ever used started just fine with the drop pull start method. My foot is to big for manufactured recommend start by setting it down and putting your foot in the handle.

[@echocanadawestern644]

@@briangroth7183 To me it sounds like starting method. If you say fuel is good, saw is new, saw runs good when it's running, then you've just checked all the boxes that there's nothing really wrong with the saw. I am working on a starting procedure video in the next couple weeks. But in the meantime, pay really close attention to when you're choking and starting. You may be missing the kick (when the engine kicks over and dies). If you pull it even once more after it kicks, it floods. Drop starting is hard to notice the kick, so try and pull it twice with the choke on, then turn it off, keep it on high idle, and pull it again. All new saws, and any 2 stroke equipment flood quite quickly when they are being started. Could just take some getting used to, and make an adjustment to your method.

No eco products took the market by storm.

[@roberthoovan4130]

Were are they made

[@echocanadawestern644]

All of the Echo saw engines are manufactured completely in Japan, then they are shipped to the states where some have their plastics put on.

[@naciofan11]

Perfect fit for my Echo CS-370, and the chain cuts very well kzbin.infoUgkxBd8qUztQUCL8Rm1-aIig5ViBT2E_kO_6 . I had been using a Stihl chain that I had sharpened several times (sometimes at a shop, sometimes with my own electric chain sharpener), and there's no comparison -- the new chain cuts much better and holds its edge longer. We'll see how the new chain holds up when it needs sharpening, but for now I'm happy.
