Echo cs800p with 36 inch bar test run on Big oak tree

I purchased a new Echo cs-800p chainsaw with a 36" bar and had to test it out cutting down a 3 foot diameter oak tree that blocks the wind from my wind turbine.

You don't need to rock the saw up/down all the time.

[@j.d.williams8145]

ya kinda painful to watch. Bet those cuts look terrible. Nice saw though!

Why you rock saw ? Just place it and let it eat.

[@themachinist8927]

Damn look at this dude someone needs to teach him how to use a chainsaw.

[@notsuretwo]

LIghten up guys. This guy is having fun and is wearing all the safety equipment.

[@MinusTheSparkPlugs]

I feel like every time he went to make a cut he would get instantly possessed by a merry go round horse haha

[@ericmaskell3278]

RipStartJimmy Thanks. Lol

[@voxpopuli905]

RipStartJimmy I thought he was milking a cow, until I seen the chainsaw. Ya don’t have to jerk it off, just let it cut.

[@robertdavidson2078]

Heard alot of muffled speaking when he was talking and running the saw and then when he was talking with the face shield down. Other than that was an ok video. Would like to see how put the wind turbine up.

As a professional arborist I always load the bar in an upward position while adjusting the chain tension. As you work this is the way the bar will migrate. Set is flat, pull up on the top side of the chain at about 3/4 of bar length and then tighten the bolts. This will give you a more stable adjustment. I've done this hundreds of times. I've seen others adjust chains and minutes later find it is not right.

[@jdp8944]

Correct I always hold that nose up while tightening.

[@GearsAndGuns]

I got the same saw and been running it for about a year now and shes been a trooper

[@treeguyable]

Been doing my chain removal, making chains, and installs , with saw on its side for 30 yrs. Way faster usually. Spinning the cover nuts down is faster and easier, no table/ tailgate in the way. I even tighten/ adjust the chain on it's side. Never had a problem. Except my big Echo 8000, the only one in my fleet, with the "hidden" adjuster, easier with the saw bottom down.

[@aguileratreeservice9189]

I feel that he has never used a power saw before? Am I the only one cringing when he was putting his chain on when it was on its side?

[@81deeds72]

So tight i thought the brake was on I was cringing!!

[@kristanmiller5589]

Now all you need to do is learn to run a saw you should have got a ms170

[@jdp8944]

You're Joking right? I'll break out an echo smaller than a 400 and eat wood way faster than a ms170 😆

[@jasonblanton7185]

Hes cooking that thing lmao that chain and bar or saw wont last long at all lol

[@iraagans3144]

A good set of felling spikes or dogs definitely help with setting up your hinges strait. Bore cuts are used for mostly heavy leaners too avoid barber chairs. Just keep it in mind most people are killed by the tree not the saw, the tree and it's felling should be your area of study.

[@dchudomelka]

That saw is not made for a new guy. I currently have 8 saws and when I get a brand new saw, I will break it in by using it for about 2-3 minutes, then I switch to another one of my trusty saws while the new saw cools down. I repeat this procedure several times to properly break it in. Also, in the first 3-4 tanks of fuel, I will run 40 to 1 oil ratio then switch to 50 to 1 to properly seat the rings and boost compression. I hate to see a nice piece of equipment run hard right out of the box.

[@hobbyoftheday4017]

Thanks for reveiwing the saw, I want to buy one and love echo tools. It sounds like the saw might need a carberator adjustment after break in, should help with the bogging down

[@ericmaskell3278]

Stefan Wingen you’re welcome. I am going to adjust the carb. It should help.

what did I just watch? Lol that tree stump was hilarious looking. Stop rocking and shaking the saw. Hopefully his skills are better now

[@timbermen11]

Great video! Looks like you got lucky with that 800p. I bought a 800p a couple months ago and it ran a few tanks then the throttle begun to stick making it very unsafe and ALOT of particles were pulling through into the carb. Brought it in to service shop and echo has been nothing but a nightmare to deal with for me. I really like your channel and can’t wait to see more of your videos!

[@unodajefe6044]

I honestly thought the tree was gonna go completely the opposite way you cut really low from where the notch was located

[@jasonblanton7185]

Damn is the chain on backwards lol

[@treeguyable]

Why plunge cut for the back cut? Could have just cut in from the back, save that nose on the bar.Plus, if you make your notch deeper, you will get closer to the center of gravity. It will also make the back cut easier.

[@firewoodprovidersnorthwest]

This guy has no idea on how to use a chain saw.

Wonderful video! I founded the group facebook's "Tree Talk", I happen to love echo chainsaws, Billy Ray Smith made a video for me, one of his best friends Victor recently joined the group and also loves echo like i do, and let me tell you, if you ask me, this video is awesome my friend...Good job!

Jarod, I love Echo chainsaws also. I joined your group and look forward to it. I am glad you like my video and will be posting more in the future. Thanks Eric

echo chain saws are the best.

You people that leave nasty comments need to stop. Just freaking be nice. We need to be supportive.

[@OriginalWhiteDevil]

As someone who professionally cuts trees for a living I can say you don't know what you're doing. First off, you're using a saw way too big to cut the tree already on the ground, but if that's your only saw I guess you have to use it. Why are you rocking the saw back and forth though? Let the saw work. It's not a steak knife. Why did you bore cut when you didn't need to? That's incredibly dangerous with big saws if you don't know what you're doing and clearly you don't. You'll know what I'm talking about the first time it kicks back on you.

[@ericmaskell3278]

Thanks for the information

[@jormungandr2255]

Hey second cut a little better than the first so you are making progress. Maybe watch some more videos and get an experienced faller to give you some tips 👍🏻

Why are you facing the woods, go on the other side of the bench.... How u expect to put wedges in if ur doing bore cut, theirs no kirf on the back side to wedge in proper direction. U keep practicing in wide open woods pls....

[@ChevyGuy70]

I would say that saw is too big for you and your level of skill. I have had many saws and found that you really don’t need that big of a saw to take down large wood. But I’d recommend taking some classes because your technique needs improvement.
