I used to be 440 460 stihl guy, then when I tried a husqvarna 562xp when it first came out I switched, but that 400c has changed my outlook AGAIN, it's a very good saw.

This video along with several other reviews on multiple comparable saws in this category (mainly Husq, Stihl, and Echo) all lead me to realize the solid American built Echo is what I want to purchase, thank you!

@@TheWoodsmanMilling …. i gave my 064 to my neighbor for 10 minutes and when I came back, it was smoking and no compression. I took it to the Stihl dealer to give me a price for rebuild or get a new saw and he said it was well worth the $800 OEM rebuild. I’ve had it back a year and it’s a beast. It is heavy, ugly and eats wood with an angry attitude, gives me a workout. I think the other old big saw still serviceable is the 046, Stihl still makes OEM pistons and jugs for it I believe.

Doing good work brother

What's nice about the 7310 is the ability to replace the rotating assembly in about 15 mins....and for about $80.... Not that you want a saw to blow up. But if it does you can do this as a beginner mechanic easily. The 400 is a 2-3 hr rebuild, very sizable teardown...and around $250

What's really nice is the 7310 is a tank and you'll probably never need to. Just don't lend it to the neighbour, straight gas Gary!

Cool comparison. How do you like the Forester Platinum bar for the Echo ?

I have learned so much from you! You're personality is a lot like mine lol 😆 I too have lots of saws and sawmill ext ext! Love the nursing home set up you guys have! Supper cool! I started a channel about chainsawmilling and building with ruff cut! Love your channel I never miss a episode!!!

Of course, all chainsaws have a sweet spot where they perform flawlessly. A chainsaw has got to know its' limitations... That Stihl is 7cc's smaller so there is over a 10% difference in size.....

The echo looks sick I like those three point dogs on there

I appreciate that man! I’m sure they’ll be much more useful when I get my saw back that’s ported and can handle those aggressive things. I usually cut oak and pecan around where I’m at so they aren’t a huge help but they help a lot when I’m doing a sideways cut like on the trunk. They were like 40 bucks

If I ever bought another new Stihl it would be the 400c only.

amazing chainsaw

I’ve been eyeing both these models because they are only $25 difference. Dealer I use sells both echo and stihl. My only issue is I have an 036 that I love but I know if I bought the 400 I’d probably never pick up the 036 again. Saw mechanic said the echo pulls like an 044 and everyone that’s bought one loves theirs.

The Echo needs a port job. Without it...meh. not bad at all, but feels kinda big and heavy for that amount of power. But with a port job...You're blown away. It's amazing. If you're looking for a big saw, get the Echo and then down the road, port it. If you're looking for a medium saw... get the 400 and just love it for what it is.

Well I just picked up the ms400c and I have the echo 7310. I have 20 inch and 24 inch bars. I have 28 and 32 inch bars. But I also have the cs800p

Which is your go to, and how's the 400 compare to the others

Id like to see a 3 way wack off between these 2 saws and the echo 800p with a 24 and 36 inch bar.

My 400 gained a bunch after several tanks ran thru it

that echo needs a more aggressive chain as well let chunks fly

I like my Echoes and I like Stihl I think Echo is a little better saw but side by side they both cut that’s what interests me.

Looks like the 400 squeaked out the win in the glide down, just by a fuzz

io non capisco ma di iqueste motoseghe servono per tagliare legna oppure per andare in pista a indianapolis?🤔 si vede ad occhio nudo che la lama della Echo non taaglia bene.....io ho acquistato la 6210x ha uuna potenza ai tronchi gli fa la barba pelo e contro pelo.

I work with a 400 and own a 7310. The 400 is a great medium saw in terms of weight and power. It feels like what a 362 should be. However, interior only (and small) dogs and no full wrap option feels bad for a 60 + CC saw. The 7310 is a big, heavy saw. It's weak for its size/weight out of the box. However, it does everything else right. The torque is great, the dogs are good, there is a full wrap option etc. It feels like the person who designed the saw uses chainsaws. IMO, Stihls generally need a more aggressive set of dogs, but that's about it and you've got a good saw. In contrast, Echos need to be ported, which is much more involved, but once ported they are amazing.
