The Perfect Saw? - NEW PORTED ECHO 620P Impresses!

[@mrbumblehill4596]

Good morning OW! Funny, we have the same tractor and saw (620). I can see the porting difference. When I put the stock 620 into the wood all the way and use the dogs, the saw bogs down. I can see that's not an issue with the port job. Awesome saw for the money, I swear by ECHO. I put a 28" TsuMura Guide Bar on it for bucking wood. I'm 61, don't like to bend as much if I don't have to. Also bought skip tooth chain for the big bar. Instead of your measuring stick, try putting magic marker or paint pen lines on your bar. I mark it a couple of inches shorter than the max log length for the stove. I do both sides and from the tip and the dogs. After the cut, turn the saw sideways and pick up your mark. I will say that the laser is cool. Thanks for the video.

[@oakiewoodsman]

Hey thanks or sharing and I appreciate you being here! I have tried all sorts of measuring things including what you have described. I like that on short bars but not on longer bars. Nothing is perfect for sure but I really like using the laser most of the time. The stick is something I watched over and over from Willeys firewood. Gramp does it this way and has been doing it for years. The wood quality is insane and consistent as all get out. I am at this point trying to increase my quality more than anything so I am being more selective on the wood I bring home, taking the time to make sure it is pretty much dead on 16" and just having fun. What I really need to do is get more time on the saw and get the 16" a part of muscle memory and just buck. As I use these tools, I think I will get there. When I buck wood for just me, I like it around 14" or so. Easier to handle but doesn't stack well in most people racks. I just have decided to keep everything the same from here on out. Thank you again and appreciate you watching!

Wow man awesome video this video makes me convinced I need my 620 ported . I just picked up a 7310p yesterday

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

Super Dave's email is on his channel description page. Will not disappoint BT!!

[@oakiewoodsman]

@brandontaylor1251 Excellent! Thanks for watching and sharing. Enjoy the 7310!

[@brandontaylor1251]

@oakiewoodsman thank you for making awesome videos an I plan too

I could see the measuring stick like what Russ uses being bennificial sometimes

[@oakiewoodsman]

I really like it pretty well. LOTS MORE WOOD COMING man!

[@tedneitzel]

Ok it absolutely looks like the new 620 will give my Aaron Lynch 361 built a run for its money! Looks like fun!

Great job on that cylinder Dave👍🏻 lot of work indeed! My guess is about 1/2 cord.

😁absolutely impressed by Dave, such a short time and he's come out swinging! Awesome shout out 2 Dave, hopefully we'll see his subs grow as support rises!

[@oakiewoodsman]

I believe it came out to more than that. Splitting video coming and you have got to see how much more wood we have coming! Been getting into som NICE stuff!

[@oakiewoodsman]

@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws for sure!

[@Super-Dave-Outdoors]

Yep, that is how a ported 620 is supposed to run. You can get a hair more power from carb mods but it is super safe tuned as is, very workable. Fairly certain it beats the old one for power everywhere in the RPM Range.

[@zeromark202]

Excellent job man, sounds very spicy with quick rpm response!

[@loweralabamahomesteading4661]

@@Super-Dave-Outdoors hey super Dave, I sent you an email. Don't know if you received it or not. Don't even know if I have the proper email. I would love to speak to you about possibly getting a ported cylinder for my brand new 620. How can I contact you?

[@oakiewoodsman]

Mark, this one has SNAP! Love it!

[@oakiewoodsman]

Putting more fuel through it Dave! So far .... SO GREAT!

[@SomeGuysSawShop]

Seems like a good ported saw. I’d like to see how tht saw handles a 28in bar compared to the 562 or even an old 362. Definitely seems to be pulling chain pretty well. It will be interesting to see how you like that 7310 as time goes on, a lot of homeowners and fire wood guys like them but I’ve noticed the actual fallers are kinda let down by them

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

It would eat the 562, the first one he did 4 OW ate the 562. @ a year ago in his content you can see OW's original SD 620 up against the 562

[@Super-Dave-Outdoors]

I think the 562 beat the previous version. I think this time might be a different story.

[@zeromark202]

I ran his older one, and this one has more power. Bet it would surpass a ms462 and 572xp.

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

@@Super-Dave-Outdoors humble you are 😁 620 w/ 28" bar in pine beat it(562) if my memory serves me correctly, questionable my memory though😏

[@oakiewoodsman]

I am going to keep running this thing and I WILL TEST IT! Stay tuned everyone!

[@WilleysFirewood]

That 620 sounds very healthy! After it breaks in and you retune it the saw will be even stronger. 2.25 face cords is my guess. Can't beat it with a stick 😜

[@oakiewoodsman]

Did some more cutting today. We are loading up on VERY good quality oak. The last two loads have been good white oak. Thanks again sir!

[@jayminer9416]

A STOCK 590/620 with a good carb tune & maybe a muffler gutting will always get the job done with ZERO issues.

[@oakiewoodsman]

Yes! You can get a lot of work done with that chassis!

[@Tonnsfabrication]

Maybe 1/2 cord / 2 face on that load, lots of of work gathering wood like that. Be nice to have the tractor over there with you. Not sure how far it is from the house but with the mechanical advantage digging out and lifting logs you could get two or three loads in a day instead of one. That Echo is awesome, had an 046 for years I gave it away.

[@oakiewoodsman]

Ya, no go on the tractor or anything at this point. It ended up being close to 2.5 rick I do believe. I filled nearly 3 totes with the splits. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@NJUSA36]

I’m gonna have to try that stick method. It looks like it’s pretty good. I think I’m gonna have to get a couple of my ECHO chainsaws ported. They’re pretty good Chainsaws stock but watching some of these port jobs they really wake the chainsaw up.

[@oakiewoodsman]

Thank you for commenting! The stick is better than I thought. Far from perfect indeed. I like the laser as I have 3 of them. My problem is I run so many saws, I am not going to keep switching the lasers around. They also can get in the way in certain circumstances. No perfect solution for every circumstance. I think the smaller the saw (or the stronger the operator) the better the stick method is.

[@loweralabamahomesteading4661]

I just got a brand new 620p been thinking about porting myself as I have a few that I've done that came out pretty strong but I've also reached out to super Dave about maybe getting him to do it. I haven't heard back from him yet but I'm seriously considering it.

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

You can't go wrong w/ SuperDave

[@driftlesshunter9200]

If you removed the cylinder yourself & sent it to Super Dave, would it save you some money? After all, Super Dave sent Joe a ported cylinder to create his ported chainsaw. Super Dave should take Joe's new cylinder back on trade & port it for the next guy like you! Just a thought everyone!

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

@@driftlesshunter9200 he's been having extra cylinders or at least one on standby made once he had a recipe he liked.

[@driftlesshunter9200]

@@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws Thus, a guy comfortable taking apart his own saw should make an trade with him. Especially if it's a new cylinder. Dave probably loves those!

Great video big respect brother

It is running very well. Cannot wait to get some more time on it. More cutting footage coming. We have been getting lots of great oak over the last couple of weeks.

[@fatefarmspa]

Watching you roll those big rounds around reminding me how much I hate the big stuff 😂

[@oakiewoodsman]

Ya, not my favorite at all. Love cutting em but do not like anything else about them. My optimal firewood size I would say is between 10-14" or so. I like that sort of stuff the best.

[@902hand7]

The new 620 is a Ripper. Nice work SDO 👍👍

[@oakiewoodsman]

He has done well! Thank you 902

[@nseric1233]

Wait until you get about 10 tanks of gas through it and the rings seat, it'll be even stronger. I couldnt believe the difference in my 590 after the rings fully seated, it's even noticeably harder to pull it over.

[@oakiewoodsman]

Love running it! The problem I have is what saw to run???? I have so many that I want to put time on and I simply cannot believe how much work you can get done with one fuel tank. Thank you again!

I guess 2 face cords. Be intresting to know hkw much weight that was on trailer.

[@oakiewoodsman]

It felt VERY heavy. I am thinking it was close to 2.5. Filled a few totes for sure. Video coming

[@bearlaceration8971]

Only bad thing is the air filter. The 590 and 620 definitely need the red beard saw air filter conversion.

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

A2Designs, Alex I believe his name is has made an awesome filter setup 4 the 590/620 soon 2 be in production if not already

[@oakiewoodsman]

There is a new solution out there! I think it may be a bit better my friend. Also, when I put orings in the filter, I think it does just fine. Thank you again!

[@oakiewoodsman]

Hello friend!

[@driftlesshunter9200]

I hope you find the perfect chainsaw some day. With all the money you have invested in saws, I would buy a 500i instead & be done with it. LOL!

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

Hey DH, are you contemplating on getting a 620? Just asking/chitchat

[@driftlesshunter9200]

@@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws Nope! I have zero need for one. I have 52cc, 65cc, & 70cc Jonsereds that I wouldn't trad for anything on the market today. I also have my Dad's Husky 257 & a Poulan 2900 Farmhard. I have way more saws than I can currently use. I'm not knocking the 620. I just don't need one. If I was young & I didn't own a single saw, I would buy a Stihl MS-261 & then a 500i when I could afford it. I have no brand loyalty, but Husky killed Jonsered. Makita killed Dolmar. Stihl has the best dealer support in my area, & that's where I would go if I was young starting over.

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

@@driftlesshunter9200 👍, seen you'd ask about a cylinder a week or so ago and was just wondering if you'd been thinking about doing some tinkering😏 you have plenty 2 tinker w/, 2900 are a great series of saws I have every color except black I sent it 2 Dubb and that 257 cool ol saw, could be a lil beasty very easy, fine like it is though, I envy your Jreds! Have a good rest of your Sunday DH👊

[@oakiewoodsman]

hahahaha..... this is more about the viewer finding their perfect saw DH! My channel would not be very interesting with only 1 or two saws right? But, lets say someone is kicking around what they should get, I can show them my experience, what they can handle and help them find their "perfect" saw. As you have always states, two is better than one. For me, the perfect saw is this. (saws owned) Plus (another one to try)
