Echo 620pw or the new 7310???

[Brufab]

Looking at expanding my echo collection and debating on the 620 or 7310. I see that the 620 is a few hundred bucks cheaper which would allow me to buy an extra bar and alot of chain. Would like to be able to run a 28-36" bar occasionally. Fwiw just a saw aficionado that enjoys felling and cutting firewood and clear cutting for food plots. I was reading that the 620pw is a real nice saw for its size. Max tree size is probly 36"ish. Any bigger than its a pain to move ans split. Mostly oak popple maple is what I cut and dead ash. Thanks fellas!

7310 heavy for it's power, the 620 is a sweet proven saw with lots of porting potential.

Is it true that it has the same oiler as the 590? I'm not impressed with the 590s oiler compared to my 400s those 400s throw oil like crazy. Can't get the 590 to throw much oil. And I cut alot of hard oak and dead ash. Also thanks for the information I'm waiting on a echo days at my dealer.

Good question, my 620 is able to puke oil if needed. I'm not sure if it's different or not.

I have learned alot in my days of hand me down saws is that the saw that starts everytime and has a sharp chain wins hands down.

There ya go! Interesting

Same worm gear must mean same oiler. Maybe I have to adjust my oil ports on my bars then. Glad to hear the 620 pukes oil thats music to my ears!

@Red97 any idea on the oilers in these.
I've never even ran a 590 or a 620 lol.

I own them both, the 620 is a powerhouse, does everything I ask of it. I’ve got a 20” bar for hardwood and a 27” for softwood. Pulls them both fine. The 7310 has excellent air filtration, it wears a 24”, good power, touch on the heavy side, overall I like them both, but if I was just gonna buy one I would probably grab a 620.

I’m really liking my 7310, especially now that it’s broken in. One other point is the 7310 has the husky large mount for bars, which is great if you already have those bars and chains. You can also get a d176 to Stihl adapter, so you got options either way.

Large mount bar fit is a huge plus! Good call!

Check the oiler holes on your bar. I bought a new Dolmar once that when the bar was turned over it wasn't oiling. Turned out the oiler hole was painted shut at the factory.

Something must be wrong with you.

I’m guessing that’s not stock, judging by the decomp and D-handle. Did you stuff a Stihl top end under there?
