Quick question if may: decent firewood saw probably small to medium felling. Looking at husky 545 mark 2, echo 501sx or wondering whether would get away wirh the 4310sx. Any advice as you have first habd experience! Many thanks
Hi there you should watch my vids on my 501sx saws which I have 2 of them . I use 4 echo saws 4310sx 2 x 501sx and a 621sx . My favourite saw is my 501sx . A muffler mod on it take 5 minutes to do but you must tune it straight after as it will go lean , the 501 once modded will comfortably run a 20 inch bar as long as you use 50 gauge and Oregon speedcut chain. I had a 550xp for 5 years which I bought brand new and 2 weeks after I bought a 501sx nearly new . 5 years later the 550xp only had around 10 tanks on it and the 501sx had over 100 tanks on it . What does that tell you . The 4310 sx is a great little saw but max 18inch bar and that would be at a push and not all the time . I use a 13 inch bar on my one but it runs really well with a 15 inch . It is truly a great little saw but the 501sx is more powerful and a better all rounder .
Also as well bud have a look on RUclips at the amount of husqvarna 5 series saws with problems. They are great when running but when issues happen it can get very expensive. If you can get one cheap the echo 590 Timberwolf is also a great saw way better than the 460 rancher or stihl 291 . And both the 4310 and 501 don't have carb limiters and require a small d tune tool
@@richardsneddon2976 many thanks for your reply. I think it's a classic case of lured in by the orange casing opposed to actually thinking about what's better! Much appreciated. Best wishes .
@@andrewhughes8809 heres something to remember bud . It's not the current saws that got husqvarna and stihl there name. It's the older ones. Whatever you decide on make sure the one you get has a magnesium crankcase. If you can get one the shindaiwa 452s is a 45cc version of the echo 501sx . Echo 4910 is a budget 501sx but not available in Europe I think.
In the uk the older model was called the 620sx and had echo on the bar in red and I think the bar was tsumura and in the usa I think tha was called the 600p or 601p , the current model in the uk is the 621sx and has echo on the bar in black and is a sugihara and I think there is only a few other updates and that model in the usa is the 620p but there is meant to be a slight difference also in carbs
@@richardsneddon2976 Why is the 621 heavier by 0.1 kg and less power by 0.1 hp, lower maximum speed and lower consumption of 1.81 l/h instead of 2.05? I think the 621 is slightly strangled to meet European emissions standards. Most likely, screw H of the carburetor is slightly tightened and there is a catalyst in the muffler. In my country there are both models, and I realized that it is better to buy the 620sx, especially since it is 50% cheaper than the ms362, 562xp and 372xp and only 10% more expensive than the 501sx.
I can say you are probably right bud . But on the muffler there is definitely no difference between the American 620p and euro 621sx . Plus I have 5 echo saws 2 of the same model and only the 621sx has carb limiters my 501 , 4310 and 7310 don't have any just a small d tuning screw but in usa the 501p and 7310 both have carb limiters on them

Hello. What is the difference between 620sx and 621sx?
Slight carb difference and the 621 is basically the European version
In the uk the older model was called the 620sx and had echo on the bar in red and I think the bar was tsumura and in the usa I think tha was called the 600p or 601p , the current model in the uk is the 621sx and has echo on the bar in black and is a sugihara and I think there is only a few other updates and that model in the usa is the 620p but there is meant to be a slight difference also in carbs
