[@petecollet9965]

Hi Heath. I like your videos because they're interesting but most of all they're honest. You don't claim to be what you're not. This is why I will share a few tips on how to brake in a new motor. I started my mechanic's career in 1973, so I've been through the spectrum. Enough of my life story. Now to make it short and interesting so you don't give up on me. The brake in period is actually a "Wear in period". The wearing pattern created from the distance the piston travels coming up and leaving top dead center, compared to the rocking motion the rings go through every time it goes through the top and bottom of the stroke. "A time factor". That determines the lenght of the wear pattern which is affected by the speed or RPM of the motor. Now you add torque to the motor and this will change the wear pattern. How to brake in a new motor you ask? Answer is , brake it in the way you are going to run it. Don't let it idle too long. When you load it up in a log , slowly bring the rpm to its top setting , hold it for a few seconds and slowly bring rpm down before you cut through the log. A big size log is good for that. Never should you rev up the engine freely with no load on. Remember when you were a kid running down a hill and all of sudden you run out of legs that's what happens to an engine running full speed with no restriction. Lucky a chain saw has the clutch and chain running on the bar creating enough resistance for it not to happen. A good engine will always use a minute amount of oil between oil changes. A fine oil film is left behind on every stroke to eliminate friction so rings don't wear so fast. That's why I cringe every time I see someone start a gas engine and leave the choke on, overloading the cylinder with black smoke, drying out the walls and creating friction and wearing out rings... Notice the circle of life in the engine. If you're interested knowing more about the subject to help clarify it to become understandable. I know my stuff but maybe not capable of explaining it correctly. Yes I do think that a back-hoe is more useful than a mini-hoe when it comes to firewood work, you can easily use both ends. Keep up the good work.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you Pete. You explained that very well and it makes sense! This is one thing I love about running a channel, I learn from others and can then turn around and help others with the information! I will be sharing some of this in upcoming videos!

[@CamdenGoulish-vm7no]

[@obxkoastie8170]

Heath...Great video on how to work smarter with the forks and backhoe! It is sooo much easier to buck at waist height versus constantly bending and worrying about getting the chain in the dirt! A loose chain regardless of why is dangerous and destructive to the chain, the sprocket, and the bar. When it is slapping around it is damaging the area of the bar just before the tip, at the sprocket, and at the tail of the bar. You should always keep the chain working tight and should stop and readjust as often as necessary, especially when new and stretching the most. You should always when done cutting for the day loosen the bar nuts and that will should allow enough slack so that the contracting chain does not bend the crankshaft/damage the bearing housing. Just things I learned from expert arborists my two tree-climbing sons have worked for.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thank you. I definitely let that chain get too loose! Guess I was gun shy from over tightening new hot chains before. Appreciate the feedback.

[@oakiewoodsman]

The very first go around on the 7310 is long.... lots of pulls but it is no longer like that at all. Another tip is to let that saw fast idle for quite a while or else they are not happy. Excited to see what Joe does with your saw. I have been enjoying my 7310 quite a bit Heath!

[@cannibalchainsaw]

I have several Echoes and they all take a while to warm up.

[@oakiewoodsman]

@ yep, probably my biggest complaint. If you have one medium log to buck up, you might be running perfect by the last couple cuts. It really doesn’t matter though because it will only be noticed by the most trained ear. Love my ported 620 saws and my soon to be ported 7310

[@OpenAirAdventure]

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

I really enjoy running my Echo CS7310P. I can't wait to try out the new Sugi Hara bar that you sent me. It looks awesome! The Echo saw takes quite a few tanks of fuel to really wake up. I'd love to get mine ported. Maybe someday. I also have a backhoe attachment with a thumb and mine has quite a bit of power for lifting logs. It definitely saves your back and chain. 👍

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, the 7310 is going to be a sweet saw for sure. Already waking up! Dyno Joe says it will run like my Makita once ported!

[@doughershberger4285]

That’s a nice saw, between my son and I we’ve got 6 huskies 2 Stihl and 1 echo, well diverse. When you get a mini you’ll sell the backhoe attachment. Minis are much stronger, lift more and less moving. Just dedicate your tractor for the bucket, forks, grapple, bush hog & a rear blade for snow removal. But as Fred Sanford said about his wife, better than nothing.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I would rather have a mini for sure!

[@chrismartin4776]

Congratulations on the CS 7310P. Run a few tanks and it will run better. It runs a 32” bar and chain just fine. (It has the large Husqvarna bar mount) I like mine. I will keep it stock. It would be nice to compare stock vs ported. I will bring it to the Hoosier Firewood Hysteria.

Dang you, Heath! And, not to get too off-color here, but if I told my wife I'm going to start making all of our lubes - let's just say, I'd get a look/face!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, I wouldn’t say as good or better than an excavator except for a few tasks like working alone and hopping on and off the equipment or moving it any distance as you can drive the tractor more so than an excavator. They are a very helpful tool though.

I have a small tractor backhoe and in may of 2023 after I sold the firewood business I got myself a bobcat E26 excavator with the thumb. I like the excavator for doing logs more over the tractor as you can pick the log and then track to the spot you need to cut but you make do with what you have and any time you can cut standing up is a good thing. The Sugi Hara bar you got I think I have 3 of them for my Husqvarna saws I have 5 saw I hear now they are just rebranded Sugi Hara bars have you head anything. I had your video up on my big TV and held my bar up to yours and could not tell the difference other than the branding and that saw sounds great good and strong it was a long video but got it all in I still love the firewood business will still do a little bit of it have a great day

I looked at your video from about a month ago and you were using the Dana processor. You were cutting a cookie of about 4 inches. Set your stop to 16 1/2 inches and you won’t have to worry about the cookie. If the logs you are buying are cut 100 inches long so you get 6 pieces.

Thanks! The logs are close but not all perfectly sized. Appreciate the tip as it will definitely be more accurate.

[@JeffPenney]

[@m9ovich785]

HAHAHHA.. Thanks Heath.. I guess I have an advantage... I cut to 24" and mark the Log BEFORE picking it up, so the Bucket is between the Marks. No one last cut to make off the BH.. On long Pieces like You had, I'll cut from both ends to keep the Log in balance... Mike M.

I don't know what your talking about Husqvarna! All my saws start on the second pull! I had bought a used 50cc Echo and I had started using 40-1 mix and my dealer said i should go back to 50-1 because there is more oil in it. So I thought he was crazy saying that but when my saw started vibrating very bad i ask him to look at my saw so he can figure out why its vibrating so bad. Well, he said I told you to switch to 50-1 and obviously yo didn't and now the bearings are shot because it doesn't get enough oil to the crankshaft.

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

That doesn't make any sense at all! The lower the ratio, the more oil in the gas.

@@NeighborlyHomestead The video's I watched about the two stroke oil, they said go with what is recommended by the manufacturer and most of the time it's 50-1. The video I watched actually there were two that said to stay away from the pre mixed fuels because they were not consistent and made them in batches and with the 40-1 mix overheated the engines because most of the oil was going out the exhaust in stead of going into the crank. Both videos I saw agreed on the best two stroke oil that got to the crank in two different saws and that oil was Schaeffer Supreme 9000 Full Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Engine Oil. Thats all I use for all of my two strokes and never had a problem except for the used Echo saw I had that developed real bad vibration. I have all Husqvarna saws now and all work extremely well.
