By easily run a 28-32 inch bar, I mean it has the capacity to oil it with the ability to run up to perhaps a 36 inch bar. Or is that asking too much from a 73 cc saw?
It oiled the 28" with some oil to spare, so a 32" bar will get enough oil. 36" would be really pushing it, to me that is too much for 70cc saws in hardwood, maybe soft too. I say 32" is max for 70cc saws. Now this is not to say they can't run a bar that size, but it starts putting a lot of stress things.

Hmm, thats surprising the gap was so wide. Was the echo fully broken in? Echos have been notorious for slow break in times, the CS330T i shortblocked 2 months ago took about 15 tanks before it came into its power finally.

Sure it wasn’t. Takes at least 8-15 hours. Keeps improving later but with less gains.
No not fully, but Mitch had the same results, so I don't see it gaining a huge amount. The husky just has more power and a better power band. I like the Echo a lot non the less, I will say as of now I think it has the best filtration system bar none.

In my experience echo equipment is bulletproof. If they can keep this up and get into the 90cc class as well they could put a hurt on stihl and Husqvarna. There are already a lot of loggers around me running echos and more will switch over with these new saws.
There are no Echos in the field here. A few Dolmars, but not one Echo ever shows up on a job. That "hurtin" will be a long time coming.
USA? Where did you find that?
Never mind, found the link in the video above.
Buy powerhead only, but the bars that are coming with the saws are Sugihara's, so the up charge is understandable.
I've seen PHO for 749. Also heard 630 for one. Same guy also bought a 28" one for 770. So dealers are giving better then retail list.

Anyone who's been trying to get one of these for the past 6-8 weeks or so has been SOL. My suspicion was that Echo was holding back stock so they could release the CS-7310PW. Turns out to be true, so any of you that were waiting for the full wrap are in luck.

I agree. They need to create a serious competitor to the MS 880. They should create something that has a couple more CC's of power, and can run a 59" bar like an MS 880. Echo is a good company, but they need to step up the game and create a bigger chainsaw than Stihl.
They have it, cs1201.

From what I can tell, it's only available overseas or in Latin America and can run a maximum 36" bar. Perhaps you could run a longer bar if you adjusted the oiler?
