Echo 7310 Chainsaw, Pulls long bar on a Big tree

I fell this big Cedar tree then came back and tested some chainsaws ..the Echo 7310 is nice .

[@scottw.2450]

I've been waiting to see the Echo, strong runner. The most important thing to me with any piece of equipment is how good it starts and runs. Stihl and Husqvarna have made their marks in the logging industry, (ran/run, owned/own both) but Echo is hard to beat for reliability.

[@bernardosuarezcretton622]

Couldn´t agree more. Echo is hard to beat for RELIABILITY... Own Makita, Husqvarna and ECHO (Chainsaws and Brushcutters). ECHO = RELIABILITY

[@ryanressis8179]

Man what a beast!! I love echo chainsaws they are the only brand I trust to work my timber. My 590 timberwolf Is a beast with only 60cc I can't imagine this hoss of a saw🔥🔥

Thx so much friend

[@tonytribisonna9886]

I love echo and Shindaiwa saws very nice saws thanks for sharing years of your experience love your videos

[@markw2266]

Another thing I have found when cutting large wood is pay attention the twist of the saw. If you look at the saw in the cut it is always heavy to the left so compensate with a little clockwise twist. Not alot just enough to offset the weight of the saw that's to the left of the bar. It makes a difference. If you let it run I have found my rounds are longer on the bottom side of the cut. I used to hate big rounds and then came a inverted splitter on the skid steer. The inverted spliter made the biggest impact, a push of a button and its down to a manageable size. Nobody wants the hassle of the large wood but if you can set yourself up with some equipment it's so much less work than messing with 12" diameter rounds but to be fair I never met a peice of branch wood I didn't like. I LOVE this time of year!

[@nate2838]

Absolutely. Balancing the powerhead keeps your cuts straight, and can even compensate for a dull chain to a degree.

[@samuelluria4744]

Hey Bill. Glorious saw. I love my bone stock 7310, I run a 24” here in Minnesota oak. Love wins

[@tome.joyner887]

I sure enjoyed seeing you buck that big cedar Buckin. It was nice and relaxing just watching you tackle that big tree.

[@Piledriver2235]

Been waiting on this. I'm loving my 7310p balanced perfect with Sugihara lightweight 28" and Oregon exl and exj chains. Its Stock for now but finally opened the muffler a bit a re-tuned. May port it someday, but for now, it pulls great in PA hardwood. When i bought it, it was a lot less money than the other 70cc saws but I think they raised the price a bit. Little heavier, but like buckin said in the past, you don't feel the weight in the wood, just carrying it from the truck. Great anti-vibe, built more old school - solid metal with very little plastic and no computer stuff to contend with. Two or three pulls to start from cold every time. And it really sips gas slow, that's my only complaint about all my Echo tools... a tank a fuel last so long I don't get as frequent refueling breaks!

[@ibbylancaster8981]

Man, I love it!! The Husky vest running an Echo. Looks like a nice rig , but I will keep my Huskies brother. Much love to you and all the Be Kind , Work Hard army 🤙🤙🤙. Everyone be careful out there b

[@davidthomas5997]

Anothet positive and fun video. I actually felt like we were hanging out at your tailgate. Then I imagined burning a chunk of that cedar. The vapors produced from your saw and yourself told me it was a bit cold that day. You are a master at the KZbin platform bud. You make the viewer part of the video... and that is freaking cool.

[@Dolmar-Rick]

Ooh 7310... my wish has been granted. Cheers Buckin some love for the underdog 😁👌. Seems fairly strong from walkers better than his first port job on it, and they did build that saw to last with metal pull starter, heavy duty filter etc didn't think it was much in it weight wise compared to a 372.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

weight distribution, is much different than a # on a scale my Brother .. ya no that saying ,' good in the Hands" ..applies here

[@Dolmar-Rick]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Yep I know what you mean. Fair play, I know lot say the dolmar 73/79ers are heavy yet on scales they are not.... maybe it because you're so used to one particular saw/ ergonomics, I've picked up/used fair few stihls never thought they was light🤷🏻‍♂️....all good though😁👌

Never had a large piece roll on top of me, however I have had times i was thankful for steel toe! And i've had a couple times I was buckin from the high side and forgot to block the roll with a wedge of wood or something, and had a log roll into a creek and had some pieces roll downhill that i later had to retrieve.

Everyone has a favorite boot type and I'm more of a work cowboy boot person. If your interested in good quality larger name cowboy style boots I strongly suggest Double H boots.

What do you think about that Walker bar Buckin? I picked myself up a 28” with one of Donnys chains to try out. Haven’t played with the setup much. Sliced a few cookies in a big chunk of white ash seemed to hold its own threw it.

[@JZ909]

I got a ported 7310 as my big saw (Shout out to Buxton Saw Works, who did the port job). I've also run a lot of Stihl saws. Some thoughts: The 7310 is a heavy, somewhat underpowered, inexpensive, and well thought out saw. Get it ported, and that takes care of the power issue. I can comfortably run at least a 36" bar with my ported 7310. Comparable Stihls are lighter and more powerful, but they're also more expensive, have some obvious annoying issues (bad oil caps, interior only dogs if you don't go with a full wrap handle), and you have to deal with Stihl authorized dealers to get anything done (in my area, those dealers are not great). 7310s aren't going to win any races, but with nothing more than a port job, they're great work saws that will get the job done without any fuss. Oh, and they do have a compression button.

Since 2008 is the serial number tag is marked manufactured by Yamabiko. Excellent products, extremely well made.

I love my echo's.. Now own a 620 full wrap, a 501p (50cc), and an itty bitty 3510(35cc, and oh what a fun little saw) I really WANT a 7310.. but I think I'd be wise to instead get the 620 and the 501 ported. But the build quality and ease of working on them (like the old husky's) is just something special. In the days of Strato saws and autotune with EPA and OSHA regulations.. they are a modern "old school" breath of fresh air.

How bad is the bar oiler on those newer echo saws? Alot of the older Echo saws that I've run over the years were pretty limited on Bar length because of the a weak oiler. I wish all "Pro" saws had a manual over-ride on the oiler like the old McCullochs had so you could give it a squirt. You can physically feel a chain start to "drag" after ya run saws long enough.

Boots was a great lead in. Socks, pants....what works good in your conditions, and what lasts! Also, did Nick's talk about the warmth of their boots. As we all know it can get cold in the woods. Just curious. Of courses when one is moving all the time, one may not get as cold. My grandmother came from Sweden. When I ask her about the area she came from she replied, "a lot of trees, a lot of snow, cold and not very many people." I am sure you know about cold. Keep up the good work.

With the Stihl chains, I don't see an advantage in the oil holes in the chain. They don't line up with the oil hole in the bar, so they're not going to be picking up much oil if any.

What kind of oil do you use for your chain oil I've been using cooking oil for years of course I don't want to spray petroleum product all over the planet cooking oil that you get from the grocery store is also cheaper than regular sticky chain oil I've never had any issues with cooking oil even with big saws except if I leave the cooking oil in the saw for a long time it solidifies and sticks to the inside of the oil tank if I use the saw all the time the cooking oil is fine the Eco oil is $30 for a quart so expensive so now I'm mixing the Eco oil and the cooking oil half and half I know around Vancouver in the local mountains they don't allow the regular chain oil good thing figured that out on my own 20 years ago just to use cooking oil also getting cooking oil all over my pants and whatever a lot better than getting regular petroleum chain oil on me
