Vintage VS Modern! Ported Chainsaw Shootout! Homelite VS Echo Ported Chainsaw Test!

[@proteuspatrick7958]

Thanks Smitty 👊🌳✌️

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Thanks buddy!

[@KentuckyFriedFixes]

I was secretly pulling for the Homelite but man that Echo saw sure can eat!

[@Smittyschainsaws]

I agree! Stay tuned!

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Interesting to see old and new working together. I think the Homelite would have done better with a real chain on it though. Fun stuff.

[@Smittyschainsaws]

More testing!

[@CharlesBrisco]

Both sound good both are prolly a hoot to run

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Yes they are!

[@jimholz1102]

Try Oregon 20LGX or Stihl RS on the Echo.

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Coming Soon!

[@fearghalmorrissey2601]

nice video,i like that echo

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Thanks buddy!

[@hnorton8298]

Smitty, can you do a shootout between a stock sxl vs your ported sxl? Love the videos.

I feel like a idiot, I've watched this one before, in fact all of them, I just forgot. Sorry.

[@Smittyschainsaws]

@@hnorton8298 lol!!!

[@lukereynolds9907]

Both saws run real well but the echo has the edge I think smithy mate

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Stay tuned!

[@ssergei]

Would be great to see compatison with same chsin size, in this video echo's chain is thinner, or i am wrong?

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Yup!

[@crazyfeller5704]

👍what size bar are you running on the homelite?

[@Smittyschainsaws]

20”

[@ronsilva516]

What interesting I have seen old vintage saws not ported like the old 2 man Mac saws they have a good size engine on the but they very slow when it comes to bucking logs compared to saws to day that are just stock saw

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Some have design issues that make it impractical.

[@ozdatman]

Chips seem to stick in safety chain and doesn't clear its self as good. Whether that slows it much is the question.

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Stay tuned!

[@adamcook3120]

Safety chain slow them down lot on smaller saw

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Should we test it!

[@alanfenwick9560]

homelite is reed valve low end torque works best at lower rpms echo is piston ported high end torque works best at higher rpms - diesel engines last much more longer low rpms high torque less wear and tear because of it

[@simpleman4224]

👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Thanks buddy!

[@johnarnettsways.8758]

Ya the new saw is faster. Will it last as long as the homelite. ? That remains to be seen. 🪓👊🏻🙏🏻

[@Smittyschainsaws]

Stay tuned!
