    Good content on a great Pro Saw! I have been with Husqvarna for 30 years until this season. My mechanic finally convinced me to go X Series. I will say in my experience, the 620 and the 7310 are excellent Logging Saws, and more reliable than their competitors. There are more powerful Saws out there, but nothing out classes them in over all performance, price, and durability in my impressions. No hate on Husky or Stihl, they are excellent...

    Zero complaints on power. 32” bar and skip chain is fine on this saw. It’s no screamer but has pretty good torque. Similar to running a 372 X-Torq, maybe a bit more power

    When I drag logs with my 755, I hook my choker a lot closer to the tractor, and use the 3 point to lift the end of the log off the ground when I drag it. It doesn’t catch on anything that way and seems to drag easier to me.

    That last spruce that was limb tied, and you were banging wedges, and the top moved, but you could tell it was limb tied good - I'm glad you didn't start thinning your hinge more, and just dropped the little cedar. I did that once, and when I was banging, thinned the hinge too much and the hinge popped, and the tree went backwards into the the tree it was hung up in. Too much lift from the wedges for a thin hinge. Kinda scared me when it went pop. Then, the fun of pulling it out ...

    That's a beautiful setting you have to work on there. I was really interested in this Echo so I started looking into it, way too much squish band at @ .063" IIRC, great filtration but at the expense of good flow, and now I heard you mention the weight which I hadn't even thought to consider yet. The price is near enough to the other big saws in it's class that I can't justify the 7310. Buckin' Billy Ray went to Walkers saw shop and got to run the 7310, a 572, and a 462 all hopped up by Walker and the Echo was just outclassed. I'm sure it's a fine saw in an "Echo" chamber *groan* but when you consider the others they overshadow the good things the 7310 has going for it. Maybe Donny Walker will find more power in the 7310, or maybe Echo will make some changes on their end, that would be nice to see them more competitive.

    It won’t win any races against a Stihl or Husky 70cc class saw, that’s for sure. But it’s probably the most reliable work saw I have ever owned. And it feels great in the hands falling timber, limbing, etc. To me that’s more important than horsepower, I’m not a production faller or am I ever in a hurry 😎 I do have some hot rod 372s which are great but I seem use the Echo the most over the past year.

    hi , just started watching a couple of your videos. not sure of your situation . I take it you are on van Isle and have a chunk of property with a little sawmill ? What do you usually run for saws ? i have never tried an echo yet although i ran into the echo salesman in the saw shop in Pemberton the other day. He was telling me how Donny Walker really liked the new echos like your model.I run a 572 husq and they are so smooth i am not sure i even would want to try another saw. That being said i have always run husqvarna . My 372 xp is now my spare. Anyhow thanks for the videos and i will subscribe

    Thank you for talking about how important it is to shut off all the Battery disconnect on a older model International. I ran a 125 & a 175 in 1979 for a contractor. He Owned both machines, everything else was a Rental or Lease on the mainline sewers project. New housing development. I Loved the Lock out system on International. The heavy duty cover plate on dash. But YES, if someone is not use to those older system. Especially the Battery disconnect. With a padlock ring. They were Powerful machines. A little slower than the Case 850-B we had running Pea Gravel to BE 350 excavator and backfill. It was a Rental. I mostly Ran the Case 680 with hoe Pack. A very top heavy backhoe plus Emergency Brake maxi cam would pop if you used the back wheels for brake lock out to help turn. Lots of mud and hard pan on that Sewer Job.
