G’morning Chris ! Best video that’s ever been put out ! I had a blast In The Woodyard ! I wish we lived closer to eachother. I now have a 24” VersaCut on the 7310, looks really nice w/black end of bar ! Thanks for hosting me, and presenting the Medal of Honor. GoodNightIrene
@@tylercritelli587, I prefer a 24in for most cutting in my woodyard. A 20in males it harder to work the log pile. Now bucking trees is a different thing, especially really brushy ones. Then I like a 20in or shorter bar.
So after watching you every day for almost 2 years now I have learned how you get so much done in the woodyard.. You have free help just show up off CZcams..🤣🤣😜👍
Good morning from Piqua Ohio. I see you're demonstrating the echo 7310. I have the same saw 28 inch bar. I put a 24 inch bar on it. 24-in bars much faster in the cut.
Really fun video with the saw comparison! Just pouring up a beer, kicking back, and reading all of the comments for my entertainment. This is better than cable! 🤣
I switched from Husqvarna to Stihl and now to Echo. After all I can say that those Echo saws are far more reliable than the new Husqvarna or Stihl Saws. Downside is that the Echos are mostly a bit heavier and have less power. After the 620SX and 390Sx, the 7310SX is as heavy as their competitors and have the same power as Stihl and Husqvarna. I'm pretty impressed of the 7310. Also the 7310 have a good anti vibration system. Only downside is that Echos mostly need a lot of time to break in. If the saw is broken in, it will gain more power.
😂 "Punky wood" Thanks for putting a smile on my face today Chris! You illustrated a perfect example of running a chain with the rakers filed too low. Cutting firewood is tough on a chain. Cutting with the rakers too low is tough on the saw (especially), bar, chain and you. My saws and I suffered with setting the rakers too low until I learned better, alot of folks do. An improperly sharpened chain is the reason your saws run hot and you feel the need to switch them out and give them a break. I hope this helps you'all, that's why I comment on it.
Very true I figured out how to use husky raker gauge gadget and a world of a difference. Shake my head every he says one pass. Like just use tool way faster and easier.
@@waynetharpYes there is alot to chain sharpening. I have learned over the year's from felling mixed hardwoods to sharpen my chains to cut the best in Hard Maple, so even if the next tree I come to is a Basswood it will cut just fine, but if I sharpen for Basswood, pine, etc it will not be any good in harder woods. Obviously if I am cutting a softwood stand I will use chains sharpened for that. What I see here is the aggressive chain is really overworking the saw, causing the clutch to stall out. The saw is unable to stay at its peak power rpm which causes not only the saw to work harder causing heat buildup, but also less fan speed to cool efficiently. The same thing happens when running a saw with a dull chain, one of the biggest causes of a blown up saw. A properly sharpened chain is the biggest performance enhancement you can do to your saw.
@@230e4 I will take a tad on the aggressive side over high rakers anyday...Just gotta hold the saw back a bit and not dog in. It was a little much today but another sharpening or so and it will right on again. Alot of it is what you are use too...Chris got along better then guest for instance...But you are right when saying that sweet spot is found with sharpening. Can't find a much more enjoyable day cutting!👍
@@waynetharp For sure Wayne, when I cut up firewood with say my ported 395, it can handle more off the gauges I throw on a chain I made up for softwood and hang on with a big smile. Take care and have a good evening.
Good morning. That 7310 needs about 5 more tanks ran through it and it’ll really be woken up that’s about how many mine took. Now it’s a ripper. Great video!
Love my 7310! Such an underrated saw. I had mine ported by a guy I found on CZcams named Charles brisco and it has turned into my favorite saw I’ve ever run to be honest.
Great video, thanks!!! I have definitely seen that 7310 do better in other videos!! But my 60cc echos 600 and 620 are very satisfying saws for me!! Having said that all your huskies are very impressive Chris 👏👍☺️
CS7310 73.5cc 5.5hp 14.9#’s ($800) The best ECHO made is the CS620 ($525) 60cc 5hp w/mm 13.2#’s 27” bar!! They run like a 70cc saw with the long stroke TQ, even though they look like a Timberwolf CS590 ($400) it’s a totally different saw. No other saw make/model can come close to the 620’s power/specs for the price! ‘Great video you guys, keep on cutting’
Thanks for the video on the Echo 7310p, a 24 in bar would be better. Ill want a little while longer on my 70cc saws. My 60's will so for now. As you say, need over want. Ive got wants!!! 😅😅 Have a Safe Day
That order of wood must be for a pot belly stove lol 😂 Good stuff! That 7310 can be bought all ported brand new for under $1000 and it’s quite a nice unit really/
I've found out that when cutting say a tank of gad in the saw and then splitting, it works out really well to stack the rounds in preparation of splitting instead of tossing them to the side. Takes a few minutes longer to clear the cutting area but saves a ton of time later on. By the way, I've narrowed my splitter search to four models. Two Wolfe Ridge and two Eastonmade models. Now to get splitting, stacking, selling, cutting, then more splitting and stacking and selling to pay for it.
Lots to think about in this video. Not sure if the Echo is still asleep or Woke, but it obviously won only the fashion contest today. I've heard that the Echo's are more of a torquey lower RPM saw that kind of need a chain type to match. I agree that it would be much better with a 24" bar as the 28" seemed a little much for the power. Would really like to see that saw after 6 months with a 24" and proper chain type. GNI.
Tony is much more entertaining plus he has all the gadgets and the latest equipment. I like Ken 2. But I laugh much more with Tony. He's funny and very quick with the wit!!!
Nice saw review. We have an Echo dealer with in an hour. Great warranties on them! Corey did a fine job in the woodyard! Smooth operating the tractor! And the ending was great with there goes Pepe in the woodyard!
I don't know didley about saws, but echo makes a damn fine trimmer. The srm and pas systems are almost bulletproof. Even those little 225 residential models, you can't kill them using them day in, day out commercially. Just awesome! (I like husky trimmers too)
Listening to the 7310 it sounds under powered with the 28 in bar . I’ll bet it works better with a 24 in bar , and I’m guessing you have a short stove to burn those short round’s in great videos, I always enjoy them. Keep on cutting . Skunk’s love white grubs that live just under the surface ,they feed on grass roots.
7310 looks great. I have whatever the babiest Echo saw they make is - no idea what model number - but it's ickle. It's also one of their cheapest saws, if not the cheapest. It has a 14" bar I believe. I could wander into the shed & grab a bigger, rortier saw off the shelf, but I seldom do as that ickle Echo blasts through timber like the stuff you're sawing in the video Chris. I love it as it is light, easy to wield, I keep the chain razor sharp & it sips fuel - when I do have bigger stuff to cut, the amount of fuel larger saws gulp down is very noticeable. The little Echo uses very little in a full day in the forest felling & bucking to length. I think a lot of the "I need a big saw!" stuff is misplaced ego tbh. There's not one log in that stack ^ you couldn't buck with a 14" bar - if you have the chain properly sharp. With a proper sharp chain, not much power is needed to cut timber really fast. TBH - for what you're doing there, in the home-yard, I bin petrol saws altogether & grab a tiny little 14" electric saw - off the shelf from a big-box store for peanuts. That tiny electric saw eats petrol ones for breakfast when it comes to bucking logs up to 12 or 14" - with a razor sharp chain, it is faster than any petrol saw, weighs nothing, is easy as anything to heft all day, uses pennies in electricity, the action is light-switch on the chain - on/off. I'd happily stand beside someone running that 7310, both with a pile of logs to buck & say the €70 electric saw, with a proper sharp chain, will do more production in a given time, for close to no cost. It cuts unbelievably fast due to the absolutely constant torque from the electric motor. If you gave one a shot, you may be surprised. :-) J.
You would also find - not sure why, enginerds may know - that the 2000w electric saw holds an edge forever compared to a petrol saw - I chuck the supplied chain in the bin & fit a decent one before first use - but it seldom (almost never) needs filing even when you work a full day cutting 12' lengths down to 12" rounds. That I don't quite understand as I'd be filing a petrol saws chain 3, maybe 4 times in the same work-period. Electric saw, never glance at the file unless it hits a nail - which doesn't happen here as it's all self-planted timber (ash) that's around 18-20 years old at felling. I'm not an anti-petrol-eco-fanboy btw - I just like what works best/most economically. Why burn gas when electric does it faster/cheaper/better?
If I cut all day and want to get a full truck load cut I will use my 572 Husqvarna saws, cutting fast is necessary for big production. I also have a 592 Husqvarna for the big 20-36 inch wood and I love it for its power and speed.
I would need a dozen batteries for a full day of cutting with an electric saw. They are nice for home owners who cut a couple cords but not for big production cutting dozens of cords a day.
Loved the video, keep it up Chris, I really like watching your videos. You’re a brave man to have gotten that close to a skunk. 😬 Good thing you didn’t get sprayed! 😮💨 GNI
Really enjoyed the vid! corey is a natural with that ultra!! fast! that echo is a nice saw and as you said the bar is just a tad too long at this point but after its broken in it'll do better! GNI !!!
With my Echo 590, I get almost 2.5 facecords split and stacked per tank of fuel. The muffler mod I did seems to help cutting speed without being too loud.
They will all get the job done if you take care of them and respect em.... I'm just a stihl guy. Don't think I could ever put my 391 down or my 290. Great video though. This for sharing !
I prefer Stihl but I have a bunch of saws from others including Echo, Husqvarna, Makita, RedMax which is just a red Husqvarna, an old John Deere not sure who made it I think maybe Echo or their parent company and I have an old Homelite. The saw I use the most anymore is probably my Makita DCS6421 really like that saw but where I live Stihl dealers are everywhere and I only know of one Husqvarna dealer might be more but I only know for sure of one and the guy is an asshole lol. So I can get Stihl service and parts all over and one Husqvarna and the guy is an asshole lol closest Stihl is only a few miles away too the Husqvarna I have to drive a half hour to get to. Same with both of my other houses Stihl all over and I really like the Stihl chains over any others.
Great video guys. It kinda sounded like the echo had a wee bit more low end than the 572xp maybe. 572xp was faster for sure but the low end on that echo seemed a bit stronger maybe. Cheers.
If you want to know why the echo was jumpy go watch 17:40-17:52 slow .25 and you will see a loose chain in action, all the jumping of the chain is driven by hinge action of the cutting teeth.
The echo looks like it's wearing a semi chisel chain stays sharper in dirty conditions but full chisel cuts faster. Not really a fair fight. Fun day in the woodyard you both looked like had fun👍😎
Sorry but this echo is a nice toy no one needs. When u r used working with Husky and Stihl u always recognice massive differents in power and strengt. Im volunteer in german THW.. and making firewood in Hürtgen Forest... we tested echo saws 2 years ago... no one buy a saw... only a trimmer. But the echo top handle saw is popular by tree climbers an curving guys here. Nice video keep going.. have a chilly sunday
Looks like they build a good saw. Sounds like it needs leaned out little. 28 should be a good match for that saw. I run 28 on my 372. I am 6 2 so it makes it so don’t have to bend down. Have a good day.
Pepe was probably hunting for grubs. Years back I had alot of skunks in my yard. After a bit of research I found the easiest way to get rid of them was to get rid of grubs....a couple of grub treatments later the skunks are very rare now
I like Echo's and have a 590 Timberwolf, which I am not happy with and a 501P which I love. It would cut that small stuff faster than your big saw and would not wear you out as fast.
@@coreyriley7160 I had to do that with my Stihl MS390. Nice saw for sure though. I was looking at that one as well. Glad I got to see it doing some carnage!
If my local Echo dealer didn't tick me off I'd own a 7310 myself. Didn't think of going to a different Echo dealer so bought the 572xp instead from Samsel's.
Went to my local echo dealer and lady behind counter yelled at me said did you read sign on door about must have face mask. I laughed and said your nuts its 2022 and walked out.
@@rmac41981, my local Echo dealer said they wouldn't honor the warranty because it was bought online. Didn't mattet to them if was brand new with proof of purchase and registered with Echo.
Muffler mod and proper tune will make it cut better. But a woods port will wake your 7310 up. Echos are all in hibernation until there modified. Then they smoke anything in its class.
@InTheWoodyard I'm actually in the middle of building another one into a solid work saw. I'll lighten up the rotating assembly and piston for quicker acceleration, delete the base gasket and machine the cylinder for less squish and to put the intake port at the proper level, widen the intake, blend and smooth the transfers and raise the exhaust port a few degrees. Finishing touch is one of my unique side exit muffler mod slash cut pipes and you got a Hella good running and reliable echo.
Tony meets Corey would be 'critical mass'!! -If every splitter had one of those 'speed up' banjos, well...what a wonderful world it would be!! Get Ken an Eastonmade banjo. He'll thank you later!!
Every review I've seen said that Echo's are tight and fat from the factory. Takes several gallons of gas to loosen them up and then they need leaned out (a lot) to really rip, and they still don't pull the revs of a Husky or Stihl pro saw. Nothing compares cc to cc to an XP Husky though, real screamers.
it would be really cool if echo brought back the cs-800, maybe call it a 7910? 😏 it's just a shame they discontinued the 800 would love to see them bring it back.
@@InTheWoodyard Thank you. I’m using forks with my tractor to load logs on the mill but I see this as more control. I will put it on my bucket list. Tom Sommer,Northwest Arkansas.
I have been contemplating for a year now about getting this Echo cs7310. The chainsaw seems to be a very good chainsaw. What are your thoughts? I personally love Echo products hedge trimmers, Weedwhackers, chainsaws and leaf blowers.
I get you need a big cc saw, but my 10lb Ms261 with 18in bar would be all the saw you need for most of that pile and at the end of day your body will thank you.
What?!? Are you trying to start some kind of battle? Why would you ask if Tony is better than Ken? Keep good friends and brothers close and ... give them gum 😉 (and perhaps a beer or two) 😁
Chris, love your videos! You might of addressed this in an earlier video but I was wondering what kind of camera you use for recording your CZcams videos. I know you are a professional when it comes to photography. Thanks in advance for answering.

If you’re running the 28 inch bar use a skip tooth, it makes a big difference with that saw with the bigger bar. That’s what I do on my echo.

Wait until you hear about the echo cs 1201, 116 CC big boy saw, but it’s not epa compliant so almost nobody stateside can get their hands on one.
I have heard about it and would love to try one!
They will all get the job done if you take care of them and respect em.... I'm just a stihl guy. Don't think I could ever put my 391 down or my 290. Great video though. This for sharing !
I prefer Stihl but I have a bunch of saws from others including Echo, Husqvarna, Makita, RedMax which is just a red Husqvarna, an old John Deere not sure who made it I think maybe Echo or their parent company and I have an old Homelite. The saw I use the most anymore is probably my Makita DCS6421 really like that saw but where I live Stihl dealers are everywhere and I only know of one Husqvarna dealer might be more but I only know for sure of one and the guy is an asshole lol. So I can get Stihl service and parts all over and one Husqvarna and the guy is an asshole lol closest Stihl is only a few miles away too the Husqvarna I have to drive a half hour to get to. Same with both of my other houses Stihl all over and I really like the Stihl chains over any others.
Thanks for watching!
Gentlemen…Start your engines. Sounds like NASCAR 😂. Great video once again. G’night Irene.
Thanks Brian!
Great video guys. It kinda sounded like the echo had a wee bit more low end than the 572xp maybe. 572xp was faster for sure but the low end on that echo seemed a bit stronger maybe. Cheers.
Maybe so.
Great job guys 👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks!
If you want to know why the echo was jumpy go watch 17:40-17:52 slow .25 and you will see a loose chain in action, all the jumping of the chain is driven by hinge action of the cutting teeth.
Thanks Dave!
Looks like a good time !
Thanks Bruce!
Thank you for this information
You are welcome!
The echo looks like it's wearing a semi chisel chain stays sharper in dirty conditions but full chisel cuts faster. Not really a fair fight.
Fun day in the woodyard you both looked like had fun👍😎
thanks!
Sorry but this echo is a nice toy no one needs. When u r used working with Husky and Stihl u always recognice massive differents in power and strengt. Im volunteer in german THW.. and making firewood in Hürtgen Forest... we tested echo saws 2 years ago... no one buy a saw... only a trimmer. But the echo top handle saw is popular by tree climbers an curving guys here. Nice video keep going.. have a chilly sunday
Interesting!
Looks like they build a good saw. Sounds like it needs leaned out little. 28 should be a good match for that saw. I run 28 on my 372. I am 6 2 so it makes it so don’t have to bend down. Have a good day.
Yup, the not bending is nice!
Pepe was probably hunting for grubs. Years back I had alot of skunks in my yard. After a bit of research I found the easiest way to get rid of them was to get rid of grubs....a couple of grub treatments later the skunks are very rare now
Good to know!
That 592 😍
Yup!
Skunks in our area eat the yellow jackets that are in the ground.
Awesome!
I like Echo's and have a 590 Timberwolf, which I am not happy with and a 501P which I love. It would cut that small stuff faster than your big saw and would not wear you out as fast.
Nice!
Need the adjust carburetor it run lean nice saw. we have one of them it a good saw.
Thanks for the tip!
The Echo needs to tuned a lil bit. It's 4stroking in the cut a lil to much.
My thoughts exactly, shouldn't four stroke in the cut. Out of the cut yes, but not in the cut.
I need to remove the limiters, and lean it out a titch.
@@coreyriley7160 I had to do that with my Stihl MS390. Nice saw for sure though. I was looking at that one as well. Glad I got to see it doing some carnage!
Makes sense!
Thanks for the info!
Yeah that Echo cs7310 P, is as handsome as Tony.
HAAAAA!
If my local Echo dealer didn't tick me off I'd own a 7310 myself. Didn't think of going to a different Echo dealer so bought the 572xp instead from Samsel's.
Went to my local echo dealer and lady behind counter yelled at me said did you read sign on door about must have face mask. I laughed and said your nuts its 2022 and walked out.
@@rmac41981, my local Echo dealer said they wouldn't honor the warranty because it was bought online. Didn't mattet to them if was brand new with proof of purchase and registered with Echo.
@Rich Mc , Right on! Good for you- push back- their probably gonna try it again, ain’t gonna happen
@@mikehughes2026, a good dealer can make all the difference in what brand of saw you go with. Customer service is extremely important.
Good move!
nice saws john
Thanks!
If the 592XP could of only given a rolling eyes emoji..
😂
Haaaaa!
Muffler mod and proper tune will make it cut better. But a woods port will wake your 7310 up. Echos are all in hibernation until there modified. Then they smoke anything in its class.
Interesting!
@InTheWoodyard I'm actually in the middle of building another one into a solid work saw. I'll lighten up the rotating assembly and piston for quicker acceleration, delete the base gasket and machine the cylinder for less squish and to put the intake port at the proper level, widen the intake, blend and smooth the transfers and raise the exhaust port a few degrees. Finishing touch is one of my unique side exit muffler mod slash cut pipes and you got a Hella good running and reliable echo.
Best job his ever had....No1 Cory
Thanks!
Tony meets Corey would be 'critical mass'!! -If every splitter had one of those 'speed up' banjos, well...what a wonderful world it would be!! Get Ken an Eastonmade banjo. He'll thank you later!!
HAAAA! Thanks!
I use that 2/1 Stihl file system- but I pull toward me with both hands on file and slow.
Nice!
Every review I've seen said that Echo's are tight and fat from the factory. Takes several gallons of gas to loosen them up and then they need leaned out (a lot) to really rip, and they still don't pull the revs of a Husky or Stihl pro saw.
Nothing compares cc to cc to an XP Husky though, real screamers.
Thanks Nicholas!
what no petting the kittity lol
Thanks for watching!
That 592 rips
Yes!
That Echo sounds kinda rich.
yes it was!
Good job guys!👍👍
Thanks a bunch!
Nice pet Chris😀🇦🇺
Thanks!
Not even close. 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Thanks Todd!
Nobody is better than Kenny!! GNI
Mike are you drinking right from the bottle! HAAAAA!
i wonder if he put a husky or stihl chain on that echo would make a difference. not a fan of woodland pro chain.
It might work!
GO PEPÉ! SPRAY THE WOOD PILE! Maybe such a spray will keep the hornets away?
Nooooo!
I need to get a medallion.
Yes, I have one with your name on it!
Great Video!!!!! 🪓🪵❤🪵🪓
Thanks, for watching!
it would be really cool if echo brought back the cs-800, maybe call it a 7910? 😏 it's just a shame they discontinued the 800 would love to see them bring it back.
I have heard that they where good saws!
The cs 8000 sucked in my opinion I bought one brand new and never ran right. Both cs670 and cs680 echo saws are the cats meow.
I am certainly not qualified to know which saw is better than another. I just enjoy going along for the ride!
Fair enough!
But I learn from all of your videos Chris!
Them logs are only but 50cc territory
Okay
Great video. What is the name of the implement on your tractor? The one you picked up the log with. Thank.
It is a FROSTRBITE grapple.
@@InTheWoodyard Thank you. Did you get it at Titan?
@@InTheWoodyard Thank you. I’m using forks with my tractor to load logs on the mill but I see this as more control. I will put it on my bucket list. Tom Sommer,Northwest Arkansas.
What type of bit is that you are using in the Dremel?
Most of the time I use a 7/32 Oregon stone bit $6-7 for 3 of them.
Tony has Fiskars! LOL
Yes he does!
I have been contemplating for a year now about getting this Echo cs7310.
The chainsaw seems to be a very good chainsaw. What are your thoughts? I personally love Echo products hedge trimmers, Weedwhackers, chainsaws and leaf blowers.
I have heard that the smaller cs620 is an awesome saw, and the 7310mis very nice too!
👍👍
Thanks Dan!
Was that the Ash load, or the smorgasbord of firewoody goodness log load?
It is mostly ash ..85% But a bunch of other good stuff too!
I have a CS 7310p and it cuts alot faster than yours, I don't think your carburetor is tuned properly
Yup.it needed some work for sure!
The chain must not be a good one in the echo 7310. I have an echo 7310 and the cuttings would be flying out of her and piling up like a mountain.
Maybe so.
I get you need a big cc saw, but my 10lb Ms261 with 18in bar would be all the saw you need for most of that pile and at the end of day your body will thank you.
That’s true rich, but he is done at noon
Speed is everything.
Yup!
My back hurts just hearing the word 18 inch bar. Keep the chain sharp and stand up and buck.
I don’t think the Echo chain is that sharpe
Maybe so.
Kinda sounded like the echo needs a tune up as well as the break in.
Maybe so!
Yup.... Echo sounded rich on the high end
Why is he cutting with one hand? Seems odd to me.
Yes it is, he was testing the fall rate of the saw weight running in the wood.
What?!? Are you trying to start some kind of battle? Why would you ask if Tony is better than Ken?
Keep good friends and brothers close and ... give them gum 😉
(and perhaps a beer or two) 😁
Haaa! Yup, fun fun fun!
To much bar for the Echo
I disagree my friends dad has one and with a 28in and it never bogs down
@@brittmarshall4858 I agree that saw was not broken in was not tuned and was not a full chisel chain !
Yup!
Maybe it needs to broke in more!
Yup!
Chris, love your videos! You might of addressed this in an earlier video but I was wondering what kind of camera you use for recording your CZcams videos. I know you are a professional when it comes to photography. Thanks in advance for answering.
One gopro hero 7 black!
@@InTheWoodyard Thank you! GoPro 7 gets it done!
Pepe might be a nuisance in the yard.
On the upside they eat mice which Chris already has issues with.
He is okay!
Skunks are okay!
Skunks also eat yellow jackets
Great!
For 73cc that Echo seems doggie even sounds doggie compared to other similar cc saws that I have run.
Yes it needed a smaller bar, and it got one!
