Echo sounds good too, but doesn’t seem to rev the same as the Stihl. I miss the days of the old wood yard. More updated equipment and product reviews have changed the videos, and that’s fine. Everybody updates. I build a stand to put in front of the wood pile. It’s slower, but keeps me from standing or falling from the rounds under your feet. And no standing on the pile. So that means the log pile can’t roll and fall on ya. But it’s slower. You have to roll the logs to the stand. Have a great day. I enjoy the comparison videos. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

But when it comes to that it really doesn't matter to me. If you want to get a smaller saw ported. Check out Charles Brisco over in lower Michigan. He builds Echo 4910's that will eat 572's for lunch. He can build any saw to scream but yet last day in day out. He built a Stihl 400 that just blew my mind how fast and strong it is.

Should you decide to go the ported saw route much like picking a good saw dealer pick a good Porter who understands what you want out of the port work, race saw ear bleed toy vs woods port.

*The stretched chain* could be because Stihl chains and saws are just not up to Chris's power in chain saw use ... then again if the drive sprocket was worn then it's pitch will be longer than that of un-stretched chain so the immense power of the Stihl stretches the chain toward the pitch on the worn drive sprocket. One of these scenarios is more likely, I wonder which, but of course Chris's power in chain saw use will always be legendary.

Hi@@InTheWoodyard Why? _i.e. What is _*_causing_*_ it, _*_Why_*_ is it happening?_ I've been using Carlton semi chisel ever since I read an Australian that apparently did years of personal testing in Queensland hardwoods. He liked a top plate angle of between 25 and 30 deg but I often get 3 tanks with 35 deg if the wood is clean. *Now,* when I lose critical sharpness and subconsciously start pushing - that's when I'm likely to *cause* a little chain stretch. Chain stretch is always caused by forces/temperatures that make it happen. *It's a Stihl chain isn't an explanation just like certain chains stop cutting good about 2/3 or 3/4 through the tooth isn't.* *Understanding* the 'chain' of causality enables habits that *cause* the chain to remain in tune with the pitch of the drive sprocket. It's just a form of maintenance that maintains a dynamic synchronization between drive sprocket wear and chain. As the pitch of the drive sprocket increases as it wears I think the chain stretches, just a little, in response and this is why many change sprockets and chains at the same time - to maintain that relationship. I love thinking about this stuff. I'm off to see a farmer and let him know I can't drop a tree up the hill (as I had suggested) as after consideration I think it's too risky. Have a great! day sincerely d

sounds like that echo needs some carb work

Maybe or it could be that it has had about 2 tanks through it...it's new.

My wife is German. She constantly tells me, "It is pronounced STEEEEL!" But, to my untrained ear, it sounds like she puts an "h" in there so it sounds like "sHteel". I repeat after her, and say "Shteel" and she says that's not correct. I give up.

My girlfriend is German. She does not seem to think I do anything right, so I'm sure I would pronounce Stihl wrong as well.

They are proud of the saw for sure...but they do cut!

Maybe next time you should pick the three worst performing saws from each brand. what you have here is about the three best saws.

too much money, too much saw or both? rhetorical as everyone's wants and needs are different.

Don’t port a saw. Porting is like crack, once you do it you’re addicted.😂

@@InTheWoodyard I ported a ms400. It just rips. Next was a ms261 and that thing really rips. I use it when chunking down spars. My last saw was a ms661. I have a big oak I’m really anxious to see how it performs. I just got it back a couple weeks ago and haven’t had time for firewood yet. If you’re using a good porter he’ll have a good recipe and you should definitely see a big difference. The downside is you have to open the exhaust to let it breathe. Every saw I have gets at least an exhaust mod.

As long as one buys pro models its fine..the consumer homeowner tools are terrible. It should be illegal to sell them..150 200 dollar difference isnt worth buying junk in my opinion..once you add taxes its not far off.here its 9.75 tax..i see to many customers with junk tools i can only try and advise them..just bevause they dont use them much they think that matters just take gas out and store it..re sale value will be at least something compared to homeowner tools..for all day tree service its all about weight .and local dealers..seen a older guy meaning 70 or so trying to get RYOBI weed eater carb covers at the stihl /,husqvarna dealership today while i was buying chains..he just couldnt let go of them.ryobi...😅😮😢😅..my unlce has a pile of them in the yard 😅😮😢..cannot understand it..save few bucks gain years of pain
