- I've gotten myself into more chainsaws. I've always wanted to run something other than a Stihl chainsaw. Today i got the opportunity to run some Husqvarna and echo chainsaw's
Today My Buddy Joe from @oakiewoodsman channel came by to let me run his Echo ported 620 and Husky saw's to see what I think of them.

I do tend to pick up my Huskys more than my Stihls because they are a little faster but mainly because of the less vibration. I've got white knuckle from many years of making a living with a chainsaw that it really makes a big difference.
Yes sir Ted I know what you mean. hands hurt after a while when it's like that.
good to see ya Ted!
Look like great saws. I'm a stihl guy myself but not particularly brand loyal either. I ran Poulan for a lot of years until they went to trash. I really liked the low grumble of the echo.
It is a nice saw for sure. Mike is great to work with!
Hey Stocks. I've always used Stihl. Glad I got to opportunity to run something different. they were fun. Looking forward to adding some of these tools to my stock.
three great saws...if i had to choose just one i would have to take all 3 lol...enjoyed the vid !..thumbs up
Hey Thanks Gary. You and me both lol
Collabs are great. When Oakie is ready still would love to have him on my podcast. Keep cuttin'!
I agree. I think that would be a good podcast
@oakiewoodsman
Nice stuff! Always had Stihl myself. One of my buddies is an echo guy and I ran his cs590 and it was great. He just bought the 7130p so I’m eager to try that! And my other buddy just picked up a 572xp and that thing is runner to. Echo and husky definitely make a great saw. New sub here 👍🏻
Id sure like to try out a 572xp and a 7130. both of those saw's look like fantastic machines.
I checked out your channel. lots of great content. I enjoy the homesteading life.
I’ve owned a few Husky’s and Stihl’s over the years and the 545 husky I have now is hands down the saw I can run for the longest period of time before feeling fatigued or numb hands
That saw was a blast to run. super smooth
I don’t have a ton of experience on the smaller echos but they seem pretty nice, and the 5 series huskys are amazing. I run all saws from all brands and eras and the new 5 series small saws are the best and fastest but for 70cc up I still love the older Stihls or 3 series huskys… nothing will beat a 064 or 390
064 is a great saw. Only one issue. You can't hardly find them. I really enjoyed the 545. I am ready to add one for use around here.
hello @SomeGuysSawShop!
Nice one fellas. I'm glad you enjoyed the 545.
That 545 is such an excellent saw Kenny! You have cut a LOT of wood with yours for sure!
Mr Kenny thank you. I think the 545 will be the 1st husky saw I buy. It sure was fun top operate.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead would be a great one!
This was a fun day sir! We will have to get together again in the future. Can these pesky storms go away though? I don't know what is worse for your garden, the excess rain or a black Tacoma. See ya later man. Thanks for the video!
I could use a break from this weather. Im looking forward to getting together again it sure was a fun day.
Tacoma's are the worst on gardens lol
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead hahaha.... I have an interesting video idea to talk with you about. The hard thing will be scheduling. Will message you about it sometime buddy.
A sharp saw is a good saw.
Yes sir. That's probably the most important part
Agreed!
I bought Husqvarna in 1990 got rid of my Stihls and never looked back!, at 68 years old still cutting with them and no complaints.
Hey Steve. I don't think I'll get rid of my stihls just yet. I am going to add some huskys to my supply of saw's though
I wouldnt either they are good saws and payed for!.
@@steveashworth6707 I agree
All my saws from 50-60cc run 0.325" chain, except one, a Poulan Pro PP5020AV that has 0.375" chain. It is less smooth than the others, so finer pitch chain helps.
Great to know. Most of mine all run 3/8 chains. My smaller saw runs .325.
Got to try out some new saws which was awesome and see which one you like best. We always had husqvarna saws. Great saws.
hey thanks for watching. the husky saws were a pleasure to run. I'm going to have to own one soon.
The echo will probably be the last non strato saw in the 70 to 80cc range sold in north America.
Look for a 372 with a gray choke lever, compression release on side of cylinder and no x-torque mark on the recoil.
For a original 372. A blue choke lever is a emissions 372 made post 2010 or so.
.
Or just order an original edition 372 from Brazil or china gray saw.
LOL
Thanks BG. Ill have to look into those
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead a guy from Malaysia named Paveen Raj ships for a good price new original edition 372's to the USA. He's in a lot of the Facebook groups for chainsaws and he'll even port it for you before shipping it. Highly trusted and recommended by literally 100s of people now!
@TheRustyGarageandHomestead
When I got mine about 5 years back.
I just ordered a 365 and swapped all parts on it I wanted.
I was basically trying to recreate a limited edition 372XPW just with a 52mm piston, as the special oem only 51.4mm is no longer available worldwide.
I do another one some time, I'll likely try a 390 carburetor.
.
My rule for china stuff is.
If the oem no longer sells it as a new saw, then I say it's free game to the aftermarket support. And the gen1 372 meets that rule in my book.
0.01c
@BGWenterprises I agree. So far I'm still having good luck with my 660 clone I built. Strong running saw
I run stihl and echo really like them I have run huskys really don't like the outboard clutch and primer bulbs on them just more of a preference for me
I understand that. I love my stihls. My old 041av stihl has an outboard clutch. I've gotten somewhat used to that.
Hey Mike I just came across your channel it’s Dustin from back in the drag racing with Patrick days lol
Oh Dustin it's been a minute.
Those were some good days at the drag strip. Your ol maverick was really nice.
I had no idea you were making videos. That's awesome.
How did you find my channel, or was it just a coincidence?
Just subscribed to ya.
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead yeah those were fun times. Yeah been making them for a few years off and on really consistent since the fall. I seen you on the rock hill video and thought that sure looked like you lol. I just subscribed to you as well.
I have only had 2 Huskys, both were smooth, low vibration 50cc saws. They love to rev. You need to let them eat at their own pace. If you're used to a torquey saw that you can dog in, they might feel wimpy. But if you let the saw set the pace and keep a sharp chain, you might like them. The two were a 50 and a 346xp, by the way. Husky makes their cranks in 3 pieces. They claim it allows it to be better balanced, I think they are right. These small, light saws are more fun to run than the big saws.
I agree with you. I tried to dog in several times and they didn't like it. If I kept the saw up in the powerband there was no need to dog in. They riped right through and where smooth
Always fun to run a new-to-you saw - great vid Rusty Mike 👍👍. Yeah Husqy make a huge leap in their anti-vibe from their 2 to 3 Series saws and their 5 series are even better yet - very smooth just like our buddy Oakie Joe. 😉😉
These saws were great to run. The antivibe is awesome on these saws for sure
Awesome video!
I’m local to you as well. Would love to all get together and run some saws!
I would like that too. Id like to check out the pipe on your 620 as well
You'll love the Echo. Awesome for the $$$. My 590 is quickly replacing my 450 Husqvarna as #1. What flavor is the Ramen?
That echo was a blast. Husqvarna's felt amazing as well.
We has the ol Hickory flavor that day
The 590 is pretty much the best value out there for a larger saw. Great Farm Saw!
I was always a Husky guy but I bought a Stihl MS462 last year. It is better than a Husky 572 and I really wanted to try a Stihl. I also have a ported Husky 550XP and it outcuts my 56cc 357, so I now mainly cut with a 50cc and 72cc saw. I would like to try a new 562 MKII. I think Joe has been unlucky with his MKI version and Husqvarna should send him a new one.
Hey Patrick. I love my Stihl chainsaws. The huskys felt great as well. I'm gonna add a few to my arsenal. There a great tool to utilize.
Yes he has had some issues with that saw.
Hello Friend. The 462 is such a nice saw for sure. So light! The Mark ii looks to be a nice saw for sure. I keep putting time on my Mark i and am enjoying using it!
462 has become one of my favorite saw's also. That and the 261, great firewood cutter's combo.
I would like to run a 462. They look nice
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead I have run one. It would be hard for me to purchase a 462 over a 500i. It is a bit lighter, and I think the chassis is a bit more stout but the "neat factor" of the 500i is so appealing. So far the 500i appears to be a good saw, just a bit fragile in some ways. I certainly would be a proud 462 owner however.
Had the saw out today, not yet sure about it, not putting out enough oil not sure why 😂, I definitely like the big saw 😍, later Mike 👍🚜
Hey Len. Have you adjusted the oiler any?
@@TheRustyGarageandHomestead ya , doesn’t move much
