Loved my 562xp after first port and rebuild. But it needed it 2 more times so I bought a echo 620 for the simplicity of a everyday grab and use saw. Really like it so far. I haven’t used sthil in years and don’t miss any of them

[bottwaandcalover]

I have an MS 391 that has been flawless for 10 years of firewood cutting and storm cleanup. Always starts, runs great. Just this last fall of '23 (Californian here, buying before the engine ban, ) I bought a cs-620p as my 391's successor, should it ever die. The 391 isn't a pro saw and it certainly not built to the same standard as the Echo but it is comfortable and rips well in it's own right. I own 5 other Echo tools, some going back to the mid 70's, and the reliability and simplicity of them is beautiful to me. This 620p is so light and rips so much harder than the 391 for being ~5cc's lesser. Keep your computers out of my engines. Give me carb screws, a screwdriver and a good ear. Keep the 2 strokes roaring in the forest.

[ritterjon]

I love all my Echo products! Never any issues and super reliable.
*Keep on tractoring!*

I bought Echo 620p last month with 20 bar and chain for less than 540 plus tax. Metal + simplicity = reliability. Be sure to use fuel stabilizer such as STABIL in the last tank filling before storage. It will be easy to start it even after months of storage. I used to clean the carbs of my lawn mowers and waste my time. After I started to use STABIL, they start from the first of second pull even when I use gasoline with Ethanol.

i need a saw. Been considering these 3 saws. I already ordered the Echo for the very reasons you said. Solid, simple work horse.

[Cowboy_Steve]

Howdy Brock! I love the smell of 2 stroke exhaust and sawdust in the morning... 😁 Pretty cool breakdown of the 3 models. I have found chainsaws are like pick-up trucks. Everybody has their brand and they tend to be loyal. I have Stihls... probably because my dad had Stihls, and my grandpa had Stihls... they ran all day for decades. Gotta be careful now though... like many companies each has their cheaper 'prosumer' class of saws. So the name might be there, but the quality may not. Nicely done and thanks for sharing 🤠

Great comparison video fellas. Saving money buying the Echo could help buy PPE or a square ground chain. A good sharp chain on a well maintained 391 will cut faster than a dull 500i.

[seasonpursuits]

My Echo 620 PW w/24” bar just arrived and eats the wood! Having run Husqvarna for over 20 years I still have one that’s special but this new Echo is impressive so far.

[TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

Brock. Nice comparison. I've always been a sthil guy. Prob always will be. Those saws, in my opinion, have everything I need. I am glad to see other brands making huge strides on their manufacturing.

[stannelson]

Love the comparison. For the weekend guy running only a tank or two each time. Husky s 460 at 2/3 of cost should also be looked at too. Heavy but cheap. Good video.

[William-farm]

You can’t go wrong with either of those saws. I’ve had a 562 xp since they came out it’s a great saw. I’ve had no problems at all. I’ve heated my house with wood since 2000. I have a STIHL as well it was my dad’s it’s a good saw as well.

[christopherandkathrynmorro]

I have the 562xp it’s a great all around saw. My brother has the sthil 400c. If you have the money get the sthil 400c. It’s lighter and more powerful.

[jacklabloom]

I knew nothing about Echo saws. Helpful information.

[aberhan]

Have been contemplating Echo for a long time now. This video convinced me, for all the reasons given. I have owned and used both Stihl and Husqvarna for many years both for personal and professional use. The real turnoff now is the computer. Computers on a chainsaw? Who asked for that? Certainly wasn’t me. I will be buying my first Echo chainsaw tomorrow, the CS620.

[oakiewoodsman]

Looking forward to watching the other content we made as well sir! The big log should tell us something about the 500i and 660 ported clone.

[dcvariousvids]

I’ve got both Husky and Stihl. The Stihl is the only one with an inboard clutch. But I prefer the balance of an outboard clutch.

For me and my personal needs, of the one Stihl and two Huskys, each has specific uses. But the two more powerful saw, have a degree of overlapping capability.

For ref: I very rarely cut softwood.
H. 545 Mk1, .325”, .058”, Oregon full chisel full comp on 15” light-weight bar, (sometimes 18”)

H. 550 Mk2, .325”, .058”, Oregon full chisel full comp on 18” light-weight bar, (sometimes 15”)

S. MS500i, 3/8”, .063”, Stihl RS full chisel full comp on 25” Rollomatic bar

545 used for small felling, up to 15” dia. stems, pre-charcoal prep. and hedgelaying.
Light saw and 40+mins. per tank.

550 used for small-med felling, up to 36-38” dia. stems, pre-charcoal prep. and firewood.
Lightish weight saw, with good power and 40mins. per tank.

500i used for med-large felling, greater than 20” dia. stems, a bit if milling and firewood.
The only thing I dislike about the 500i, is weight and it drinks fuel, maybe 20mins. per tank.

[BradMyers]

I have Stihl and Echo. I went with the ECHO 620P as my large saw and have the MS-170 and MS-271. My smaller saws see most of the work since they are lighter, but the Echo comes out for the big projects.

[LawrenceTessier]

The Echo is great for the weekend or light/medium use person and great bang for $. Would have liked to see the same size bar and same brand chain (Oregon or similar) new on each saw to make it a test of the power head. Kind of like tires on a car, you don't put mud tires on to run a drag race, just saying to make things equal.

[twalk]

Most of my products I use is echo. It’s very underrated
