It’s harder than I thought to test. You and Brisco both make excellent saws!

👍🏻SD&ZM

​@@zeromark202yup, I am sure Brisco has faster ones and he has built way more saws than me. He is a great builder for sure.

@@Super-Dave-Outdoorsyes I love his build very spicy, saves me so much time cutting firewood! Ported vs stock is a game changer. These are my 1st ported saws that I have owned. Have had a ms461, 372, and 572xp the ported Echo 620’s are so much fun to run and you know they are going to last a very long time.

I think I was able to keep a consistent pressure and cutting RPM in the cut. Trying to keep things as equal as possible.

I've found a few cheap but the word is out and their value is going up IMO

@@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws you are correct Sir and we can blame all our fav Y.T'ers for that! 😉😉 hahaha

@@902hand7 I got me a couple stuck back and a red one😊

It was a really fun day to get together with Mark. Like he has mentioned, swapping bars and trying to keep things equal is VERY time consuming. Then you must think about getting the saws hot again which is also a bit more difficult IMO with ECHO to make sure they are running optimally.

👍🆙SD🎯

Awesome fleet of 590/620's👍🏻

👍🆙ZM

Thanks there my favorite 60cc saw. Cant be beat for the price and performance. Have 70 and 90cc Stihl and Husky’s also.

This testing was really very limited but gives everyone an idea of how things work out.

Kenny, it was really great to get to do with him. He is a great guy and a wonderful firewood cutting host!

😁

AP, I actually was quite shocked at editing time at what I was seeing. While I was there, I really had not a clue how it was really going. At this moment, I do not know what to expect from the footage of when I ran the 562 and the MS460 in the same wood too. Now, those didn't get bar swaps or anything so it will not be a really great comparison but still, will be interesting to see what happens.

@@oakiewoodsman oh the anticipation😬

Thank you friend!

I like it quite a bit. I really think that it could even produce gains on some of the ported saws too.

Shoot me an email and we can set something up! I have a few projects going so end of July will probably be a good time.

😂👊👍🆙RG

590/620's are astonishingly loud with an IH/CB style pipe👍🏻

The pipe is a copy from Charles Brisco pipe build same dimensions.

@zeromark202 love how easy they are to build for a pipe! And they absolutely work👍🏻

Absolutely, and they are lighter, give the cylinder more cooling area, and easier to clean around the saw without a big box can muffler in the way.

Mike, I was super impressed with it!

👊

Thank you JG!

Thank you so much friend. It was really a fun day with Mark. These saws are really pretty neat and in all reality the stock one did quite well for straight out of the box!

Thank you Boedy! You deserve lots of respect for the effort you put into testing saws. It is not an easy thing!

Appreciated! Fun to find ways of editing this stuff. I used to put times up but have found that this visual representation is more useful. Thank you again

Hahaha. Would be a bummer to loose those 3M muffs buddy. Know what would have been worse though? To get an injury worrying about ear muffs 😉

I sure thank you on that compliment and I am thankful for you being here!

Excellent editing, having a KZfaq channel has opened my eyes to how much work, preparedness, and editing goes into it to create the best content for your subscribers. Great job Oakie!

Mark, it is truly insanely time consuming but it is so fun! Comment like this from Steve really encourage me to keep pressing forward. Much like Dave is constantly striving to be a better builder, my platform is video combine with OPE and Homestead type stuff. i appreciate you and everyone else that makes this possible.

Absolutely you coming over and taking the time to film means so much to me. I want to help your channel grow in anyway I can.

I think Mike is ready for a visit as well! hahaha....We will try to make a time for it sir!

I wouldn't call it working, 2 much enjoyment, not that you can't enjoy work!😁

@@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws That's right!

Had a blast!! It was 100°+ heat index which made it a little rough tho.

@@zeromark202 yes heat humidity must suck for you all!

@@zeromark202 I'm not far from ya in Central AR, completely agree and understand, steamy here w/ 110°+ water coming out of the ground in places

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the view and the comment means a ton to me.

We didn’t want to test that since they all have different dogs. The WCS ones make it easy to bog them vs a single.

@@crazyfeller5704 Awesome show down, I bet this will be a good little fire starter 4 a couple people leading into the #🐺Wack-Off!

CF, I think this was very fun. I was also concerned about running out of wood. I also tested the 562 and the 460 and honestly have not even looked at the footage yet.

Yes it’s a hackberry around 18” Echos rock for the price!

👊

Awesome Brent! Thank you for commenting and sharing. These saws are sure awesome and I really like cutting Hackberry. Honestly, I like cutting any lighter in color wood that throws nicer chips. Even a super sharp chain doesn't throw the kind of chips that hackberry, silver maple, pine, sycamore etc produce. Thank you much!

Thank you sir. We tried to make it good clean fair fun. Hard to do with natural materials and limited time and resources. See ya around!

@oakiewoodsman your welcome buddy an yeah just something about them 620s I love an see you around Stay safe out there

Hello from Oklahoma! I appreciate you stopping by. You run saws much yourself?

Mike, you need to add one to your collection!

@@oakiewoodsman 😂 get 2!!

@@oakiewoodsman yes I do. Maybe a couple. Those top handles are nice

There is another great builder not too far from us. Corey Corp and I may be getting together to build up this 2511 a bit. He is another fantastic builder with an exquisite attention to detail.

@@oakiewoodsman 👊

👊🏻

I just wasn't quite sure if my particular hand filing would do it. I found it interesting as the bar was a bit longer, the chain is quite worn down and as you know, many people swear that you can only get the tooth so small and then it isn't worth it. Not me, I go until the teeth are all but gone. I have never purchased 33 RS chain because of cost and that fact that I do not care too much about out of the box sharpening because it seems when I have a new chain is the time I find rock or metal i something and suddenly that out of the box grind no longer matter as well. I love a nice new C83 in nice clean wood however! I couldn't agree more on the Duke pricing. VERY good value!

Yeah man, I’m with you on people say you can’t get the chain tooth to small. Cant be farther from the truth lol, race chain is ground down like crazy to lighten the chain and create less friction through the wood. Actually people with good experience say the last little bits left sharpening the chain to get everything out of it has been the best it ever has been. A new chain should be at the slowest speed due to drag and weight. Something I had to think about for a bit.

@zeromark202 interesting! Never thought about it like that man!

Me either till about a couple weeks ago looking into how to make a race chain and reading other comments.

mornin

You are ok buddy! Thank you again for watching

Yes but will be slow in hard wood.

@@zeromark202 thanks for the reply I will be cutting hardwood might just save me some more money to get what I want

What is it you want? I’m not brand loyal. The 620 can pull a 28” fine but it’s not super fast with bar buried compared to like a 70-90cc saw stock for stock.

@@zeromark202 thinking about the Stihl 500i not brand loyal either I would like to have a saw I could run a 25” to a 36” bar I cut big oaks for firewood just gonna run it stock don’t have a clue what it would cost to get one ported

Very nice!! Yeah these echo 590/620’s can’t compete with that saw. The 500i is fast! Think they are #1 in hp per lb ratio at .519 There even faster than a ms462 & 572xp but those are 70cc vs 80cc
