Is it a possibility that echo will release a full wrap handle for this saw?
I don't feel like the 7310 could replace the 800p as a big bar saw. What's the stock power on a 800p anyway? Really they should come out with a 90-100cc for the USA market.It took me a while to realize.
I really don't think echo is trying to "compete" with husky/stihl in the logging industry...
I think they just wanted a saw to replace the old 680/800 designs. For the current customers.
Design/build 1 saw model, and retire 2 saw models at the same time.
Current owners will be excited to upgrade, and it is an upgrade over the 2 old models.
If they get some logging converts, I'm sure they will be happy to have new customers, but I don't think that was the goal with This new saw.
Keep is somewhat close to the other big brand offerings, while blowing the old model echo away.

That is an unrealistic requirement. Show me a modern 80+ cc saw with a manual oil pump. Epa made those go away a long time ago.And no manual oil pump boost switch.
3120?That is an unrealistic requirement. Show me a modern 80+ cc saw with a manual oil pump. Epa made those go away a long time ago.
So you comparing all stock saws or all ported? Didn’t think this echo could run with the ms462 or 572cp stock for stock.Very good Saw. Reminds me on my ported 576XP. Very torque, good AV system. Over all, more than an alternative to 462 and 572. The 462 rev up faster, but cuts slower with a 20" bar. The 572 and 7310 are very close up.
Typical for Echo, the saw will get better after 10 Liter of fuel. So time will tell
I’d personally consider that to be an older design. Pretty sure they started production around ‘89 or ‘90. Not even sure if the override still exists on the new model 3120s3120?
Get them while you can like the echo 800p. They are soon to be nla here in the US. Btw I said modern.3120?
If the 462 cuts slower with a 20" bar, it probably gets smoked with a 28"????Very good Saw. Reminds me on my ported 576XP. Very torque, good AV system. Over all, more than an alternative to 462 and 572. The 462 rev up faster, but cuts slower with a 20" bar. The 572 and 7310 are very close up.

A guy I know said the 7310 seemed low on power. He took it back and got a 572. About 1hp difference.
No way that’s true, The 462 smoked it on the dyno. Stock for stock, haven’t seen any ported results. I loved my echo 590 and willing paid way more for my 462 vs a 7310 or a 572. That’s the best saw in that class currently by a long shot.If the 462 cuts slower with a 20" bar, it probably gets smoked with a 28"????
