No man I love the low end power I could care less bout chain speed and that iv always loved the old school grunt and it seems to have plenty iv got almost three tanks threw it I pulled the plug this evening while I was blowin the dust out cleanin the bar grove etc etc and it’s runnin a gray color I usually like them a nice tan/rust color you all think I should Richin it up a little or wait till it’s broke in to see how it is it seems to sound right in the cut

I like mine a little rich when breaking in. The fuel gives the oil...

Update I picked the 620 up Friday. Got into some big red oak yesterday day and used it a little bit to day on a land clearing job I’m doin to cut down a few good size wild cherrys that I couldn’t rip down with the mini ex and so far I couldn’t be happier with a saw it absolutely kills that 391 Stihl I had and it’s not even broke in yet echo nailed this one I do believe the only thing I don’t care for is the odd link chains and stuff but oh well I’d rather have a saw that’s just fun to run thanks guys for all the info In this thread

Just wait till the saw gets broken in. 24 in bar and full comp it’ll cut thru a 4 ft maple trunk like it’s nothing

I don’t doubt that a bit it already rips pretty good the more I use it the more like it wish I’d got one bout three years ago when I got that Stihl it was never nothing but junk with the poker wide open it still ran dry on 24” bar I drilled the oil hole in the bar and everything I could do but still ran dry and not near the power this echo has

Those are stihls farm and ranch saws. I just got a stihl 034av early version with the front tensioner and adjustable Oiler. Fun as hell but for professional use the echo does it job. If you need a mid range saw in 50cc get the echo cs-501p. Loads of power, torque and will be even with the husqvarna 550xp.

I got a old 026 Stihl that I mmd and cleaned the intake and exhaust up on the cylinder that I run for my small stuff I love that thing it’s unreal to be 48cc saw but honestly I wouldn’t mind running the echo for everything I know on paper it’s “heavier “ but I swear using it it doesn’t seem like it it balances awesome to me with a 24” bar

The 620p is noticeably heavier but if you got the strength to run one it’ll barely be noticed. Nice stihl of yours. Got me one of the stihl 026 I had to rebuild the top end and replace all rubber. Converted to the ms 260 pro in features and cylinder. Those saws are screamers but I’ve noticed not as much torque as the echo 501p saw. Still like both.

Can’t say nothin on the 501p never ran one my 026 is still original top end I have read a little on the 260 conversion never really looked into it but they will bog a little of you knock you drags a little to low especially I try not to get to carried away when filing that saw if it’s cuttin smooth they will flat move through some wood

on another note what bar oil y’all runnin in the echos the oil I have ran for years I thank has changed i picked a new jug up and it’s not what it was the label and all has changed

Mensrds fvp bar oil or echo branded bar oil works good all season long. In really cold weather I mix some kerosene with it to thin it out more. I just bought the redbarn.net top end kit for my stihl 026. Works fine. Didn’t need to clean up the ports.

we have that problem solved on 20" bars. Tsumura makes a 20" 72DL bar in the correct bar mount. and @Homelite410 makes bar adapters to let you run stihl mount bars on them.

Decided to try my hand at square filing 590 seemed like the right choice. Need to adjust the rakers.
Might need to look into those homelite410 adaptors so I can run stihl bars on everything.

I got my file off the internet it's a save edge. My next order will be bacho. Much cheaper and same quality. I read both the how to square file threads on O P E and Firewood Hoarders from beginning to end and ask a few questions then just put file to chain and hoped for the best. My angles are to aggressive for firewood duty. Going to change that next time.

Does it take a certain size file like the round files for 3/8 chain and so on or is it one file for all??

One file fits all. I haven't tried anything smaller then 3/8 but theres plenty of pictures of 325 and even some 3/8lp in the threads I mentioned. Haven't found any real good square filing threads on this forum.
