CUTS BETTER THAN A STIHL? ECHO CS-7310P CHAINSAW!

Yup, you read that right. We are just trying out our NEW Echo MS-7310P CHAINSAW today and one of us on out first reaction said that and both of the others did not argue with the statement! I did cut very nice right away on the first few cuts!

[@pvwjr]

With the way Gavin smiled after using the Echo, I think that should be his saw now. Very nice of you Adam to buy it for him.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, maybe so!

[@scottiversen9234]

I have two echo cs 7310-P saws and I love them. I keep a 24" bar on one and a 28" bar on the other. I just took down a massive oak last weekend and the trunk was 38" at the base. My ECHO is eating right trough the toughest part of the trunk now. I have ran ECHO saws for over 30 years and so prefer them to the Stihl saws. I do not have any Husky dealers even close to me and have never ran a Husky. I do 60-70 full cords every year and all with my ECHO saws. I loved the video and really appreciate you and your channel.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thatb is awesome, thanks so much for always watching Scott!

Thanks Grant, there are over 1300 videos on the channel for you to watch!!

[@waynetharp]

First impressions...About what I expected and have seen with other Echo models. Does the job but very mild out of the box. Rich carb settings from the factory and over goverment regulated exhaust. I can't wait for it to get broken in, rings set, and opened up some so it can breath/flow so we can all see what it is really capable of doing! Nice saw, and having a few extra moldy Benjamins left in the wallet is always a good thing!👍

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Opening up the muffler voids the warranty.

[@iffykidmn8170]

Yes! break in, open the muffler, pull the limiter caps, and it is an ok saw, base gasket delete and they get a bit better at least the couple small ones I have.

Chris...Curious to see how it does with Bert's grind on the chain. I know it made a tremendous difference when he compared his grind versus stock. Wait until you see how clean the air filter stays! Let her rip. Only saw better in this size range is the Dolmar 7900! Their switch is up for choke and down for stop; and it is a momentary down that automatically returns to start position. Every saw needs that feature!

Maybe you had a turd in your hands??? The one we had was really nice!

[@donnyshotz]

I have had the echo 7310 for 3 years and I like the saw however I have found out it is heavier and doesn't have the high end rpm as other saws in the same class ie the jonsered 2171 or husky 372. Just my 2 cents.

[@benjaminleslie3155]

Well from what I understand, the oe 372xp/jred 2171 could rev very high because of the mass of the piston, that's partly why the xtorqs don't rev as high but have better low end power, because most pro saws are now strato and typically require the piston to have more mass for the extra channels for the ports. Now I know the echo isn't a strato saw but it does have a big piston in it. I hear people describe it's power likening it to an xtorq. But I've never touched any of those saws unfortunately so I could be completely wrong 😂

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe so.

Hey Chris I know this is an echo demonstration but I see you used the tractor to lift the log. Then you first cut the log into rounds, then split them in half. You cut down on the rounds then roll them over then cut through. So here's an idea cut through the end of the log first then cut the rounds. So the rounds are split before you cut them off the log.

[@iffykidmn8170]

Not sure what but almost sounds like tight chain, sprocket nose, clutch, brake, dry rails something draggy almost stopping the chain once off the throttle not like the normal chain wind down. Needs a chance to break in and tune the carb but right now it sounds a bit doggy with no snap as Adam pointed out which is most likely low speed needle adjustment needed and 4strking on the high end. Positive note Adam's PROTOS helmet is looking good and would like his opinion review on a might spendy helmet.👍

Understood I just follow the manual in my stihl saw to run it less than 100% for the first three tanks of gas. I think the number was 70%. And after your first start, let it idle for 10 minutes at least that’s what my manual says. Thank you for responding.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That may be for Stihl saws. Husqvarna say...run it!

[@BGWenterprises]

Haven't found found a solid answer online yet, but it runs like a non strato saw. Just reminds me of older saws in the way it runs. Runs more like a 200 or gen1 300 series husqvarna saw. My opinion, but I think that echo would respond very well to port work. You get 5 gallons of fuel through it, it mite need a very miner carb adjustment. But it's definitely improving as it runs. . Basically in current production husqvarnas, the 390, 395, 3120 are the only non strato saws left being made. Strato saws are basically an emissions thing, where a portion of the air goes in the saw without fuel mix with it. Tell its in the combustion chamber. Or that's my best understanding.

[@BGWenterprises]

OK found some info. It is amazingly non strato. With 6 port transfers. 51mm bore 36mm stroke . I believe it's the only non computer carb non strato 70cc class saw on the market new. in north America.

Haha Well I have a Stihl and an Echo but the echo is much smaller so hard to compare. I’ve had the homeowner echo for 10 years at least and it’s been used way more than its potential….. still starts and runs every time. Honestly it sounds like it needs to rev a bit more and a port job will make it breath better. My prediction is husky and stihl will outperform it… not by a lot but that’s my guess… but maybe the echo will last longer as it’s Japanese??

They are 6421 basically a 65cc pro saw but those saws have the same bottom ends as a couple of their bigger saws so you can buy the top end for a 79cc saw for it if you wanted they have another in between can't remember either 71cc or 73cc. I paid $250 each for them buying one new I think is somewhere around $650. They don't make that model anymore but pretty sure they have a new version of the same saw imagine they are still renting them. The ones I have I got 4-5 years ago.

In the early part of the video it seemed like was stalling in the low rpm range like it didn't have as much torque as the 572xp. Didn't notice it as much at the end.

I liked Echo when they were at a big discount to stihl and husky but now why bother. same thing as kioti versus deere and kubota

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe so!

[@justinsantapole7507]

Took mine about 7 tanks to fully break in. Then i adjusted carb and she is way better

[@coreyriley7160]

Mine too.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good!

[@sandsock]

sounds like a electric battery saw. i wont lie, i had a echo, just wont make that mistake and have 2. thats one of the saws you loan out and hope it gets straight gassed, so you can go get a husky or stihl. that saw looks stiff, like it has no anti vibe in it. like its a repainted walmart special green paulan.

[@InTheWoodyard]

ha! I was very impressed with it, and I am not married to any brand and have ran hundreds of different saws.

[@duck-n-cover477]

Sounds like it's running a bit rich in the cut or it's not loaded down enough in the smaller wood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup.It is brand new in this video.

[@jbbrown7907]

The Echo sounds slow to accelerate. It might not be a good limbing saw unless, like with a Stihl, you get paid to cut wood by the hour, not by how much you get done.

[@BertsCustomCuts]

It's gotten better since the first few uses.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That right there.....is funny...good one!

[@stevensfirewood8658]

I have a MS462 and MS400. That echo looks to have more low end than the Stihls but the Stihls have more top end. The echo will probably open up as it breaks in.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe so!

[@samskeeter1]

I could only find two dealers in the whole of the South Island of NZ for Echo. Maybe just stick with Stihl and Husky here for a bit longer . It runs well though. How did you find the air cleaner was for access and cleaning?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good! They all make great stuff!

[@nickb8156]

Great channel and videos, if you open that exhaust muffler up a little, that saw will scream

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tip!

Hello, I had a big dilemma about which 70cc saw to buy. 572XP MS462 or 7310P Considering that I already had 3 Echo saws, I decided on the 7310. The Echo 7310P is the most useful and looks the best, it seems to me to be of high quality and long-lasting, this is my amateur opinion, maybe I'm wrong. The Stihl MS462 is really just as good a saw, but it was a bit more expensive, the Husqvarna 572xp I didn't like its construction, I have the feeling that it could have been made much better, I didn't like the quality of the plastic and the final construction. I am very happy with the 7310P and I think it will serve me for many years. I have a question which saw to buy 90cc MS 661 or 592XP Thanks

[@InTheWoodyard]

They all are nice saws!

[@generaldistrust]

brings memories of our past cs-341 fleet 😅😂

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!

[@billchambers7760]

Dang! That was like watching paint dry. 🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding witcha. Echo makes some mighty fine saws.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Watching paint drying is fun!

[@billchambers7760]

Show nuff

[@joehackett9471]

Those take alot to break in. I have one but skipped the slow phase and got it ported before I put gas in it.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!

[@rebeccarobinson7024]

The 7310 have same mounting holes as your 572 chris so u can put any husky bar on the 7310

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is what others have said too! Thanks!

[@timrydman-mr5hp]

Nothing cuts better than stihl. That saw needs a Bert’s sharpening. Very nice saw.

[@InTheWoodyard]

All saws cut great!!
