Good info, Jim. I climbed and pieced out a 40' hickory tree in 2.5 hours last evening. I took advantage of the 74 degrees F. Monday, it will be 88 degrees F, yuck. I used my 2511T and my 620PW. I'll post some GoPro pics and videos on FB tomorrow.. it's hard to pass up some of these saws when you see them cheap.
They are awesome saws and they go up cheap cause guys won't like em. I've thought about another 7310 more then a few times haha. Nice find with the jets gonna have to order some one of the only things i don't like carrying special tool for just the echo. There is a walbro carb on the cement saw version of the 7310.
I don’t see them for sale very often, but when I see one for a good deal, it’s hard to resist…got a brand new 501 for $300 cad this summer too. Next might be a 620 p, I run a 620 PW at work and it’s great for a 60cc saw, so I might as well have one to play with too 😜
@@generaldistrust 7310, 620p, 590, 501p, 4910 are all aluminum/magnesium…not clamshell, but pro saw designed with 2 case halves and a cylinder that lifts off above the crank, not split at the crank like the clamshell saws. These are very well made saws
@@generaldistrust nope not strato-ported, no computers and no plastic crank bearing cages…just good proven technology…same for the 620p, 590, 501p and 4910
For $1800 CAD is this saw actually that much better than the current Husqvarna 372 at $1200 CAD? Honest question, as I am still convinced that the 10mm Stihl 044 was the best in class and the later versions were pretty okay as well.
@@turtlewolfpack6061 I believe Echo is getting hit with the Turdeau hair tax (Carbon tax) on this saw for emissions and is passing it on. If you’re lucky you’ll find a 7310 for a better price, but you’d have to do some searching. One of my customers just picked one up back east for a really good price, likely was sitting at the dealership for a couple years. As for the ins and outs of the saw, all I can say is dude, why don’t you got to an Echo dealer and ask about a demo, some of them will sign out a demo saw…take the time to get them to go thru the saw with you…if you’re familiar with the “$1200” Husky 372 then you’ll see the differences. I like the feel of the 7310 way better than the 372, especially the X-torq…the 7310 is narrow and feels like a way better balance and weight distribution. The components are top notch and a 5 year consumer warranty as I’ve explained in my vids…this is my honest opinion…I’m not making any money from Echo or UA-cam. …as for the 044…I’ve got 4 slant fin 044’s in my shop that one day I’ll get around to rebuilding…if you’re using one everyday you’d appreciate what a real anti-vib the Echo 7310 and Husky 372 offer, compared to the 044. I was a faller for years running an 066 mostly and I can tell you the anti-vib makes a huge difference if you’re doing it full time…if you want to just poke holes at my posted videos, there’s a solution for that too.
If you want the flip up caps, the PROPER ones, they are STANDARD here is europe.. The oil cap is part number; P100-008410 and the fuel cap number is; P100-008550 Hope this helps..
Thanks, the Echo oil cap alone here in Canada is $20.50, that’s more than I pay for both the Husky caps. Do you know if you guys get the Echo 7310 with heated handle as an option? That’s another feature they didn’t make available here, so far looks like just in the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market)
@@jimssawsnstuff8903 Just looked in the echo catalogue and we do NOT have the heated handles here. We DO have the CS4310SX though which is a brand new model, just like a mini 7310 and i "think" it is a europe and Japan only model?? I wonder how the echo branded sugihara pro solid prices compare with the bar price from Sugihara?? I bought a 20" echo/sugihara bar and from memory it would be the equivalent of about $173 Canadian dollars.. The saw came with a 28" bar installed.. Echo are gaining ground here. The dealer i get stuff from says that he sells about 7 or 8 Stihls or Husqvarnas for every echo, but that he has never ever had an echo come back with problems.
@caerleon87 thanks for checking. Yeh, I switched over to Echo after all the issues I ran into with the Husky 562XP’s, plus I’d had several other Husky 545/550, 555’s and now 565’s with crank bearing and seal issues…I’m not a fan of the nylon caged bearings, Stihl also went to them, but so far I haven’t seen them die due to a bearing failure…the computer carbs and the strato-injection in conjunction with the reduced cooling fin area in the newer Stihls and Huskies makes them run hot..and guys running chains too tight, or rakers (depth gauges) filed too low also puts a lot of extra strain on the bearings…and they don’t handle heat or torque load. I’ve seen Charles Brisco’s vids on the 4310 and it definitely turns into a Gremlin (I think it’s too small to call it a monster…but then again…the 2511T’s that I port get called that too 😉). Here we got a 4510 and a 4920 that are both strato-port saws and a lot more plastic/clamshell so definitely not going to win with that…must be emissions related although I thought Europe was more strict on emissions that us. Anyhow…I bought the A2designs air box mod kit for my 501p/4910 and it’s great…uses the round cartridge style filter, similar to the 7310… Bars, well personally I’ve had great luck with the Oregon Versacut in 24” and the Speedcut in 18” and 20” they are an aluminum core, the 24” is the same weight as the Stihl Light bar and half the price…so it’s the best option IMHO, non-replaceable tip, but here none of these arborists replace tips, they normally have other issues before that..and it’s only $40 more for a new bar vs cost of the tip and then there’s labour on top to swap the tip out…here the shops are $120/hr…I’m about 1/3 that but it’s still a cost. I did buy the Sugi with the Husqvarna light/tough paint, but it’s still a very heavy bar compared to the Stihl light bar and Oregon Versacut… What part of Europe are you in? Thanks for the chat, take care.
@@jimssawsnstuff8903 I am in the UK We have the 4510 here too, It will be a nice saw, but not so "upmarket" as the 4310SX All the echo "pro" saws here have the "SX" suffix the same as you have the "P" ones there. The 4310 has the same sort of filter arrangement as the 7310. They advertise it here as a sort of little brother to the 7310.

Dude that saw looks amazing! Great video
@@PhillipDrumz thanks! They are an amazing saw once I port them! It’s my G.O.A.T and I’ve run a lot of saws in my life!
