- The ECHO MS-7310P chainsaw gets it's first real test today in the Woodyard and it is very impressive at cutting like a light saber!!! I was very surprised that it was way better than all the saw "experts" said it was a turd....they are wrong again! I like it a lot!
Another instant classic, nice old-school log pile cutting. I love it!
Glad you like it!
"can't tell the difference" is a HUGE compliment for either saw. Both are very good. I might give the nod to the Hussqvarna by just a tad bit.
Right on, I agree, both good saws but the Husqarna is maybe a little faster.
The Echo is a little more DIY mechanic friendly because of the regular carb, no electronics. Otherwise both saws are excellent in my book too.
@@thefirewooddoctor The carb adjustments are VERY limited and the limiters are a PIA to defeat.
@@rooster3019 the limiters on my Echo CS-590 were easy to take out.
@@InTheWoodyard Echo cheinsaw ,oil 2t huswarna xp sintetick 1/4 ok ?
Felt like a throwback video! Good to see you cutting in a pile. I gotta admit it’s not my favorite way of cutting but I can. Noticeably faster rpm on the Husky. Take care Sir👍🏻👍🏻GNI
I miss the old days where all Chris would do is buck a pile of logs. But can't do that forever as Father Time isn't kind to some of us.
Right on!
Yup, I like to cut in a pile!
My 7310 is my new favorite saw that I own. Took a chance on it in an online auction. Brand new in the box (box was opened and you couldn't tell if everythingwas inside). Got a screamin deal on it and man am I sure glad I bought it. - Tim
Awesome, great to hear!
Great video, thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks for watching!
Found the 7310 video! Thanks Chris!
Hope you enjoyed it!
You ARE a professional, Chris. The definition is someone who makes money doing the thing. And you come across as very competent - and professional. Good video for my breakfast, thanks!
I appreciate that! Thanks!
After seeing Chris use the zip tie measuring method I have used it for 2 years and is quick and cheap. Thanks for sharing that great method.
Yup, it works great!
That is just like handling square bales...averaged over 70lb square bales. 4 guys making a semi load with a bale conveyor in less than a half an hour!! The way we do it would not work or be safe for most people!! I am super happy you have a good back. I did years ago until i got Lyme disease really bad. Now my spine is pitted and i have a really bad back! Great video on the Echo. Thank you!
Yup, team work is great and real work gets done by doing things others are afraid to do.
I am a big fan of both. I run Husky and Echo. The ones with sharp chains and gas in them are the ones that go in the truck for the work day.
Yup, they all make good stuff!
The zip tie method is great Chris. After seeing you do it a couple years ago I use it with my guys on tree jobs where the people say they wanna keep the firewood if we can cut it down to length. It works great and is fast to throw a couple zip ties on a couple saws and send a couple guys cutting and when we're done eather cut them off or most of the time just leave them and eventually they break off. Great cheap ane efficient way to message the wood and keep the costumers happy.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been using your zip tie markers ever since I watched your video about it. IMO it’s the very best method not to mention how inexpensive it is.
Awesome...thanks!
Hadn't thought about curb feelers in a long time.
They do work!
Love the way that you do the log flip with the chainsaw. Way beyond my skill set
Thanks I does work well IF you know how to do it without getting hurt.
That echo does a nice job. It doesn’t wind up as high as the husky. But it cut a lot of wood on one tank.
Yup, comparisons between similar size saws is like splitting hairs.
I like that Echo used the D009 Husky tail bar mount for the CS-7310P & CS-7310PW. Makes life better if you own both brands like you do.
Yup!
That thing looks amazing
It is a very nice saw!
Hey Chris, long time fan of your channel. You my friend are a work Horse. I respect that. I’m from Newfoundland, Canada and I to cut firewood. We get a lot of birch, aspen , spruce and fir. I absolutely love your content. Always look forward to the next one.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Right on brother! Both very good saws...and cutting in non perfect conditions is just the life of a firewood guy fir sure...good work brother
Thanks!
Great video Chris. Really interesting comparison. Top saws. I used to like cutting logs set up by a self loader truck in skid form.ie triple runners. Good saw,good times. Cheers from HB NZ
Right on! Cutting is fun!
Both seem like nice saws, gotta love the heated handles! 👍TCT
Yes they are and we will even let you fondle it some day and make some rounds with it!
I have been using this method for a few years now. But I recently bottled a quick release clamp that I hooked the wire ties to and not I can take them on and off in seconds.
nice!
My brother runs echo and has good results , they are in the race for sure .💪
Yup, good stuff!
It was like watching you in the old woodyard, it still gives me aniexity to watch but like you said you've been doing it for a long time. As always take care.
Thanks!!!
I agree it sounds like the husky is reaving more, but also I think it sounds like the husky is more snappier when you first hit the throttle. I also agree if someone think its dangerous the way you hold the log still with your foot and don't do that, than they shouldn't do it. I love that kind of cutting. I do use the tip all the time but when I get into the bigger stuff I do use the back of the bar, so its what ever anyone is comfortable with. 24 and 28 inch bars are my go to. Keep up the good work
Yup, all good points!
Nice saw went to good home . That thing cuts great ! I'm getting a new saw this Friday , yes my wife said it's ok for me to get a Sthil Ms 500i R !
That's awesome! Great saw!
G’morning Chris. I ran 3 tanks through mine yesterday. And replaced new zip tie ! The 7310 is screaming. Niiiice saws.
GoodNightIrene
Morning! Awesome cutting!
Good to see you cutting in a pile again and you know what you are doing. Nice to know the Echo is comparable to the Husky! GNI
Thanks , yup!
Chris thanks for the comparisons. I think echo is making a great product. Never ran there saws but seems to do the job nicely.
Yup, they all make great saws if they did not they would not be in business.
This was like a video i saw like 1300 vids ago. I liked it then and still do. Same Chris, just different saws.
Thanks for watching!
You still got it. Nice saws.
Have a great day.
Thanks Mrs. Bionic Eye!
You are right when you say that everybody is different, as are their experiences.
My experience is that nothing has been better than the Laser Pro-sizer. I just cannot stand to have things jutting out from either side of the saw. To me, it is a total visual distraction.
My old best friend Tony likes his a lot too!
I grab my CS-530 Echo and cut up piles like that, Echo makes great products ( I like it a lot). I’ll also use my MS-271 Stihl another good saw. Keep on cutting
Yup, they make good stuff!
Back when I used to buck up firewood, I never once got a phone call while I was cutting wood.
I get them a lot, I have 3 businesses and hundreds of customers from 2 of them one with tens of thousands of customers that call and text me all the time.
@InTheWoodyard
Phones that went to the Woodward had yet to be invented.
Was wondering how long befor the 7310 got pink tape!!! I use this idea on all my saws!! Thanks for the suggestion!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Awesome!! Glad to help!
The ECHO comes from the factory set at about 10500 RPM. Good dealers will tell you to run a couple of tanks through it and they will set it to the factory specs for a broken in saw at 12300. Not all dealers want to be bothered and box stores don't even know.
Thanks for the info!
Good morning Chris love the sound of chainsaw ECHO Beach lol ( Ty Ron
Yup, good stuff!
Chris, It is dangerous outside and you should really just stay in the house! Be safe...🤠
Yup, a lot of people actually think and live that way and they don't do much or get much done either.
@@InTheWoodyard Wouldn't that be an awful way to live being scared of your own shadow all the time? I just couldn't imagine it...🙄
Morning Chris is an Expert saws pretty good too 😊
Thanks!
I love my 7310pw! They do take a while to brake in.
Yup!
Great video. If any viewers do high volume tree service work I highly recommend the HUSQ 372 over the Echo 7310. The difference becomes very apparent 3 or 4 hours into any given job whether felling, limbing, or bucking. That’s not a slight to the 7310. The HUSQ 372 is simply the Michael Jordan of chainsaws. The Echo 620, 590, and 400 are on par with their Stihl and HUSQ counterparts, however.
Yup, the 372 is the go to saw for a lot of loggers, my brother is on his 9th or 10th one now!
@@InTheWoodyardWOW! That’s awesome! I’m a little intimidated by the auto tune on the 572 you have, would love one but feel like I’d be dead in the water if I needed to work on it?
I love my 7310 it's a fantastic saw, and $500 less than a 500i
Yup, and that is a lot of clams!
This brings back memories.
I have cut up my share of firewood using my Husky saws.
I etched a line on my bar at sixteen inches. That almost always worked for me. I liked to start at the right end of the pile as I faced the wood.
Yup, I used to do that too but it adds a lot of extra time turning the saw back and forth for each cut.
Great review, looks like it does a good job.
It does! Thanks!
Morning Woodhounds! That pink tape adds another 100rpm!
Wait until you try the pink/purple combo.
101rpm actually!
oooooow!
Love your content , l would love your take on Stihl MS 400, probably the best saw on the planet in its class !
Thanks, I have ran a few of them and yes they are nice saws. However I much prefer a 70-90cc saw most of the time...but I am weird.
No you are not weird, just a Saw Head like us all, Stihl MS 462 and MS 661 are flyers, To each his own at the end of the day, Happy Trails to You, greetings from Ireland !
Looks like it would be more useful to have the measuring device on the right side because you're normally cutting things off to the left of the end.
Maybe so, this works fine ...where would you attach it?
@@InTheWoodyard the right side of the grip? Now you have to loosen the bolts a little to get the zip tie under.
I really am liking the 7310 !!
Yup, me too!
i think the echo is 4 stroking a little to much so maybe lean it out a touch! Good Nite Irene!!
Yup!
Without the processor, how much longer would you have been able to do 200 cords a year? If I bucked 4 cords in a day, I'd be useless the next. Sucks being a weekend warrior. Can't do it every day like I want to.
That is a good question, I would just do what I could each day and eventually I would cut back some as my body would tell me to!
I used to be able to buck up two cords in a morning and split it that afternoon/evening. Now at 73 I'm doing good to cut up a cord and three days later split it when my back allows it.
@@jimdebarr5616 your working pace is far better than most keyboard warriors! I'll be thankful to be able to run a saw at 73.
Hi Chris, nice day.
Hello there! Thanks!
Found some good winter gloves at Sam's club 20 dollars for 2 pair best ones I found for firewood
Nice...what kind??
While watching, I thought the Husqvarna sounded faster than the Echo. I kinda like the Echo sound better.
Were you a bit sore after. Not something you do as much of now.
Have a great day 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
yes and yes...I am getting to round!
@@InTheWoodyard👍🏻👋
I like my Echo a lot.
You should! They are great saws!
Thankfully your on an hour earlier in Australia😊
We just turned our clocks ahead an hour for the annual "spring back" time change.
Nice, I will see if they can keep the time here the same all the time!
yup!
@@InTheWoodyard we go back one hour in Sydney at April
Just get it ported already lol!! I’m sure you know who the bigger names are already, some of them have channels on here also. Donny Walker, Randy aka Mastermind Worksaws, HMMF etc and a few more are all top tier at getting the most out of your saw. I find Walkers a little easier th take cost wise, but w shipping from where I’m at it almost balances out. Far as I know pro grade Echos are very responsive to mods. Muffler “gut” n retune alone would transform your new echo, but you already know all this😊. Just do it lol!!
It is not my saw it is Adams he got Evergreen power and Echo to give it to us for testing and videos and porting it will void the 5 year warrantee.
When I started watching, I never thought you would be using an Asian impot saw. Echos are the best Asian because they are from Japan😉👍
Yup, you know it the Japanese people make great stuff!
Im of the opinion.
that its the lower rpms that allows it to pass emissions without the computer controlled carb and strato fuel system, ect..ect..
.
I think theres a lot of potential in that saw, to increase performance a lot.
0.01c
Yes, that is what a lot of others have said too!

It sounds like you have got yourself a nice saw! Not sure how the prices compare over there, and how that speaks to value for money between the saws.
I like my husqvarna, it is nearly 20 years old now, still going strong.
But if it died tomorrow, I am afraid I wont buy another Husqvarna. Dont get me wrong I love it, but for the small amount of wood I cut these days, I can get a Chinese clone for less than 1/5 of the price of the same size husqvarna. Horses for courses.
Please do not buy a copy saw. It is just plain wrong in my book. Buy from a company that designs, engineers, tests and maintains there products. NOT a cheap imitation copy from China.
I love my echo 7310. How long is that bar? 28”?
Nice saw...24"
Where did that raggedy pile of logs come from? I don't remem seeing them come in. Kenny dropped them off? - If you really like a heavier saw, you could just hang some tractor weights on one of your regular saws! - You're getting good enough scrambling around log piles you prob don't even practice on your rolla rolla board anymore! - Hope all your pushy cats are doing well. - I like your Echo too. What?... I like...
It was a much better saw than I expected it would be! The logs where for a local woods that was cleared and bought the "junk" wood and it is skanky!
I’m red/green colorblind so I paint my stuff yellow so I can find it in the weeds. 😂
Good idea!
Does the Echo feel heavier or 'clunky' awkward versus the 572?
Nope, same weight, runs great, cuts great, feels great, looks great, sounds great, smells great I am not sure about the taste however.
Great saw. Being a new saw do you mix 40 to1 or 50 to 1 oil mix. Thanks
Yup. I use the Husqvarna oil mix an use it as recommended 50/1.
Thanks Chris
@@InTheWoodyard Huswarna Xp 2t oil 4/1 👌👍
The newbies are going to say how u should cut apple of wood not knowing this is how you started lol also rookie sticks was put on old school trk bumpers so u won't bend em up
yup!
Question, obvious you cut a LOT of wood, do you run different chain setup on frozen wood? I usually pick up a saw wearing semi chisel myself, holds edge much longer. Any thoughts?
Same chain all the time for the most part. Standard chains...just always sharp.
Hey i have been a Fan for a long time and i have really been enjoying your content and i have a question. So me and a few friends like to sit around a fire outside and we live in the City so we dont really have many Types of wood to burn but we have some old rotten wood. So my question is if i leave that piece of rotten wood in the sun to dry could i still use to throw in the firepit?
All wood burns so yes...but... it might not bur great, it might just smolder a lot. Burn it WITH some good wood too and you will see! BURN ON!
thanks for the awnser you have really helped me
@@InTheWoodyard
Good morning all!
Hello!
Good morning 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Morning!
Definitely a rpm difference.
Yup, for now.
The filtration on the 7310 is supposed to be excellent. Have you popped the cover to check?
Yup, looks great!
So just curious of your opinion on whether a guy really needs a 90 cc saw to run big bars. It seems like either of those 70cc saws can handle larger bars just fine. I have a 562 that I have ran a 28" bar on and it ran fine- slower than a 592 I'm sure. Is it really necessary or money well spent to have that above 70cc saw? Obviously if you are running it a lot then possibly but for the average person what are your thoughts??
Thank you for your time and GNI
Try one and you will know. I much prefer a 70-90cc almost all the time...but I am weird.
Define avg guy 😉that cut a few cords a year or 10-12, 8-10" wood or 16-20" or larger. I worked with a guy this weekend doing trail work that self-described as a lot of chainsaw experience well maybe for a homeowner he did but he had difficulty keeping his chain out of the dirt.
If all you cut is 20 inch wood, doesn't matter if you run a 20 or 28 inch bar. Engine load is about the same. If you are cutting 28 inch trees, then ya, a 28 inch bar on a 60cc saw will work but a 70cc saw or 80cc or 90cc is going to work alot better. It depends how much you cut and what kind of productivity you expect.
Is there a noticeable weight difference between the two saws?
Nope, exactly the same.
Echo makes a decent commercial top handle saw and the rest are good for residential use. If ur gonna cut down thousands of trees a season or even a year, Shitl will be the only one that lasts and lasts. I have some that are over ten years old and cut done several to a dozen trees a day all year long. Get the MS261CM and it’s the only 18’-20’ bar chainsaw u will ever use again.
I have cut with hundreds or different saws and many brands, they all cut well. The difference between most similar size saws is features, colors, personal preference, dealerships, repairman and availability of parts... The rest is mostly a close mined he man mentality of mine is bigger, better, faster than yours because I have a different kind and I am smarter for having it than the other guy.
That's a false claim. I fall professionally, my go to saw is an echo 620pw ported by donny walker. It's built like a tank, completely reliable, and pulls a 28 all day long in Canadian hardwoods all year round. It also cuts about 70 chords a year to feed multiple wood stoves. I have 0 concerns walking into the woods with it for 10,11,12 hours at a time.
Good Morning Woodhounds!!(-:)
Runnin late this mornin... Ya'll have a Great Day Folks! Sunny, 30°F and a beautiful day to be alive!
GNI
Morning! Yup, we all get another day to play!
What Is the price comparison between a standard Husky and the Echo?
You can go to there website and look up the models and sizes you are interested in. They have lots of sizes and kinds!
Nice sawing 👍 If you close your eyes, the sound is very close and by the looks they perform very similar.
Yes, they both cut great!
How cc is the Echo saw you used?
73cc
73cc
yup!
You put feelers on at start and sawed it all by sight
Yeah, I don’t get it either.
I have done it so much...thousands of cords...that I can look from above while cutting and see the "feelers" as I go so yes it looks like I was not using them but I was.
I did use them, but I can see them from above the saw.
Does echo make their own chains? What chains do you run on your saws?
I do not think so, I believe They use Oregon. I use Oregon and Husqvarna chains.
Guys, this man cuts firewood for a living. He has hundreds of hours behind a saw. Dont tell him what to do lol. He doesnt need your safety pointers. Hes heard it all. Hes free to do what he wants in his own dam yard. He knows the risks of his own actions. Leave him alone. He doesnt need you "experts" telling him what to do😂.
Cut on chief. How do you like the balance of the 7310 vs the 572? I know the 572 is a bit lighter than the 7310, but never handled a 572.
Thanks! They are very similar! If I was forced to have only one....either would do!
3:40 MS is the other team.
Yup, first mistake I ever made ....that hour.
Not a fan of throwing the logs with the saw. Good way to run one up your leg. Your legs tho 👍🏻
Ya, you probably should not do it if you do not know how to.
🎉
Thanks!
Chris(Chris), there is an Echo(there is an Echo) in this video(in this video). Your new girlfriend is pretty but doesn’t scream quite as loud as your old one. GNI
Chris only has one ex-girlfriend. She's his ex-girlfriend because he married her! Never know how the saws will behave in the barn. They might find one of them gave birth to a Stihl in the morning. Or they will end up on the barn floor after a big brawl.
Ha!!!Good one Larry, I like it!
Ha! Maybe so!
Husky cuts faster I'll take the husvarne any day
Okay. They both are great saws and so are Stihl saws.
572 XP IS THE BEST CHAINSAW EVER
It is a good one for sure I have 3...best??
@@InTheWoodyard if you have to use only 1 chainsaw for the rest of your live, which one would it be ??? Considering weight and everything ?
Everything has a degree of danger, do they think sitting on the couch doing nothing is safe?
Yes some do. A lot of people do not know that working and getting stuff done is never 100% safe and neither is getting out of bed .
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
Why put the zip ties on the left side of saw if you are going to cut right to left most of the time? Seems odd to have the ties on wrong side from where you cut most of the time.
Where would you attach them? It fits there well and I still use them cutting both ways as a guide. Try it and you will see all you have to do is move the saw a little to see the next cut.
"MS"7310? How dare you 🤣
It is a saw and it cuts.
@@InTheWoodyard I think it might have been the MS being a Stihl designation.
@@iffykidmn8170exactly 3:42
22:40 Nonsense... if you're benefitting directly from viewship to gain better equipment and tools over 3 years... at a minimum adhere to ....and advise on basic safety standards . We'll never see the bucking accident that may kill (or maim) this channel. Tony's Tools, Homestead Acres etc. can do it.... do a safety video.... you're not Clint Eastwood circa 1999
I have done safety videos, they do not get watched much, people like action.
Slow saw
It is new it will get better. But because I was actually there running both I can tell you they both cut about the same.
I also sale a fair amount of firewood a year and i switched to echo and as far as im concerned i will NEVER own another stihl.
Never is a very long time! I like all 3 of the major manufacturers...Husqvarna, Stihl and Echo. If there was just one the lack of competition would result in poor quality and lack of innovation.
Stihl manufactures homeowner, farm and ranch and proline saws same as Husqvarna.
Never walk with a running chainsaw......especially in piles of loose rounds.
Then nothing would ever get cut and for a person making a living cutting they would starve.
You're thinking don't run with scissors easily confusing.
Great review. The echo saws that are ' Made in Japan" are awesome. I only buy saws that come from Germany, Sweden, and/or Japan. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🪵🌲
Yes, they all make great stuff!
