I'm all about it. I love my echos and I'm fine seeing it get beat time wise. They are all great saws and it comes down to personal preference. I love the sound and feel of echos and that's the closest reliable dealer I have. I also prefer the traditional choke.

As long as they cut and there reliable and earn you a living then there all good 👍

Picking any of these 3 saws shouldn't make anyone think to themselves "oh maybe I should have gotten the other one". They're so close! It's all about what you prefer in the end, can't go wrong. I personally would take the 462 over the husky for example just for the 10% less weight and a bit better low end torque. But for a 60cc I prefer 562 over the stihl's 362, hah. Remember lads, cookie cutting isn't what we use these saws for, 1-2 seconds of time difference in a 20 second cut is nothing, you don't cut trees on a stand with a perfect angle in the forest, there are so many other things to consider. Also, porting and all those changes make all these saws completely different beasts in performance.

@@danquirke443 echo stuff is top shelf

@@sambo9414 you speak truth

I also thumbs upped your comment before I read it........we just know these things don't we LOL.

Good sound from all three saws could you run a 555 husg and a Stihl ms250 and a husg 354 if it is possible and say which is the best one you think please

100%!

They especially hate it when you pull out the other echo or echos you bought with the money you saved lol I bought 3 echos recently for less than the price of 1 Stihl. Love echos never let me down.

I enjoy comparing resumes with the "no professionals use echos" crowd. My 620pw runs with my 440 magnum and 661 all day.

Stihls with M-Tronic carbs don't even work here in Texas when the temp is 100 and above. Yet the Echo CS-590 Timber Wolf only grows stronger . . .its over 2 yrs old, in its 2nd 20" Echo bar and 2nd sprocket now, and still feels like it's only getting better. Tree trimming and removal is my profession, so it gets used every day in the week or sometimes every other day in a week depending on amount of business. I take care of my saws but I use them HARD. The CS-590 gets a lot of dirty jobs like stumping level to the ground, root cutting, limbing bigger limbs out of Siberian Elms full of disgusting rotten tree p!ss. It won't outcut my Stihl MS362 but it's close to it when the temp is 100+ and my 362 is vapor locking constantly. I had a Stihl MS441C (that's a M-Tronic carb saw) bought used but near new from the pawn shop. In 100+ temps, it would only make about 6 or 7 cuts in big stumps before it turns into Wah wah wah, wah NOTHIN!! I turned it back to the pawn shop as a defective item. Had it for 4 months and it always cut fine up into the mid 90 degree temps. SO! Needless to say, I'm SUPER STOKED for a 73.5cc saw from ECHO!! Just have to get all the car and truck problems taken care of first. 😬

And yes, I just found out about the Echo 7310p 2 days ago! WTF!? How have I missed this for 8 months!? Idk, but I need it TOMORROW to take down a 45 ft P!SS ELM!! HAHA!! Chainsaw Berzerker in World War Tree

good man

Buy a degree wheel. Machine the base to get correct squish and open the bottom of the transfers a little and you will feel that. If you rise the exhaust that will move the powerband up. But once you lift it to say 95 ATDC you will need to do a lot more than just that to really get it to run at full potential. I have a lot of dead jugs from my early days so do not cut your OEM. Go and buy some cheap chines thing and hack into that. You will stuff it up and many more before you get the results you are looking for. Its very addictive and some 10 years on I'm still keen to get even more power. What Don did here with that 572 was pretty special. It took him just one jug to get it right. That is huge experience. I'd need more than one.

welcome

I liken him to an Canadian version of Steve Irwin. I always enjoy watching his videos and you always leave feeling better than when you came in.

Check out mweba on here. He ported my 7310 and it runs great

Give the echo at least 10 tanks then it'll really wake up

I got me a cs 590 good little saw

If you think the Stihl sounds awesome you should have heard a ported plain old 0 series. A 036 or a 044. You would probably cry.The Echo comes closer to that sound the old Stihl saws had.

Canada is beautiful coast to coast.

you bet

I just bought the Echo CS620PW 27" today. Guess what the wubble u stand for? That's wight, WAP, as in full wrap. 4.5HP tuneable, 27" bar with LPX full chisel $673 taxed and shipped. Yeah, for once I paid MSRP and the government. I could only find one US dealer had four that now has three in stock that does online sales and ships. After days of calls I felt lucky to get what I wanted; my choice. Next is a Granberg type mill and a ripper to slice slabs. I'm chomping at the bit to buck next winter's firewood.

@@yungsmile7546 what dealer did you go through? They probably don't have one anymore but I have been looking for the same model.

zero warranty after port work.

I use my Echo mostly for milling and boy does it just run and run.

Yes i have 660 EVL 80 s best machine 👍

A 610 EVL. The “evil twin “. They run so smoothly. Wanna sell it?

@@andybecker2693 Saw has no spark but keeping. Parts are about impossible to find. :( I picked up a 590 Timberwolf a couple years ago that I'm really liking.

@@bhall7997 The CS 590 is the best saw for the money. Not to mention it is the only saw in the farm/ ranch category with a metal pro style crankcase. Probably has a lot more power than the “evil twin” saw and more fuel efficient. Hopefully some day you can find the parts for it.

good man

indeed thx

Agree totally, the whole time Buckin was getting on em I was thinking how nice they are gonna run once those rings are good and seated.

Yep after about 4 tanks of gas the power about doubles

Sounds like the old 0 series from Stihl, the saws that made them what they are as a brand name.The 034,036,044,064,066,088.

As a porter myself I too liked the Echo. I think it had good workable power and the cylinder has some real potential in it. I think if Don has the time to develop it there is quite a bit left on the table. I am a major Husky fan and not too keen on Sthil at all but the 462 had great chain speed but clearly not a lot down low. As a work saw I'd take the Echo over the Sthil but over all the Husky won this round. I'm seriously considering buying an Echo and porting it.

Yeah buddy! GO Army GO❣🤜🤛 💪❤👍

Thx for sharing

No it didn’t

No just no

The STIHL sounds and looks like it has a bark box from West Coast Saw

Allll yea.. ripper

@@kiernanb9445 Just put a bark box on my 661 with Maxx flo air kit. It definitely barks

I would agree with Chris.. Sthil is a great saw. Maybe the best.. But a Husky feels better in my hands. Maybe it's the rebel in me. 💪

Was that Stihl stock? I couldn't see a Walkerized sticker, and the muffler looked stock also.

We got the same saw.

Plus a 5 year warranty in the saws made in Japan its the Subaru of the saws.

The 590 is basicly a Husqvarna455 Rancher. If the 590 cost that much id suggest looking for a 455 instead it might even have a little more performance

I’ve been doing the exact same thing but leaning to the echo due to it still being carb and have metal covers and the filtration system is hands down the best and echo warranty is way better the Stijl or husky

I will echo (lol) @77beast. I have a 7310 and love my echos but I encourage anyone to go with their best dealer close to them. The saws are all so good that for me it comes down to choosing who gets my business.

@@danquirke443 that's why I can't decide. I have all 3 dealers within 30 minutes of of me. I have no experience with 2 of them and very little with the Stihl dealer (all good) but for different equipment, not saws. I've only used Jonsered my whole life but that dealer closed and Jonsered is going away regardless. So I have no experience with any of these brands or their dealers haha. So I keep asking around the community about the dealerships.

I think the Stihl may be stock, I sure couldn't see a "Walkerized" sticker.

Doesn’t surprise me

@@nathanadrian7797 ported

smaller wood round,, sounds great, great saw, but on this day took 2nd place

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith maybe so Buckin but we are splitting hairs here eh ? ... a guy “wood” fair well with either the 572xp or the 462c
