The Official OPE Purse Swinging Thread

Has anybody watched the ported 500i vidja?

Has anybody watched the ported 500i vidja?

Yep. I counted 50 seconds for the first cut and 46 for the second one. So the 500 comes out on top when both are ported

Well it all started with me questioning how a 7310p beat a 500i. @dall get her feelings hurt, started cussing like a sailor with a bad case of tourette's, said Mitch's test was rigged, said Mitch is a lowlife like Jmssaws because he dared to make his 7310 rip like a mofo...back biting, purse slingin, sucker punching, and more name callin ensued and we're now where we are: Sitting back, laughing our asses off that grown men have thin skin and insecurity issues when it comes to their chainsaws.

i didnt get butthurt
i just called it as i saw it and still say the same thing as before
if dust is from a sharp chain then ill never have to sharpen another chain that gets sent to me to sharpen

How's your echostihls do against the 500i?

 

[so il logger]

500i is the only saw I run lately. I really like it, maybe I got a good one?

Air filtration b.s. is just that. I tap it out at the end of the day and its good. Is that so hard to do?

Lol

 

[huskihl]

Echo was 59 seconds. No idea how much the Echo gained, but if it was 30%, that puts it at 85 seconds stock. And the 500i was about 75 seconds stock. Not sure what’s surprising here

They are a good bit stronger than a stock 500i.

Ported they are both very close.

 

[so il logger]

So to clarify, a stock 500i beats a stock 7310p?

Also a ported 500i beats a ported 7310p?

Why did this thread even begin

Lol

And oil.... don't forget oil.

 

[Fruecrue]

Just got here can anybody bring me up to speed?

No, and that’s more of a you thing than a we thing.

[stihl livin]

Is this as or ope? Asking for a friend. Why was the echo video removed? What a *s-word this place is becoming

 

[markds2]

Can't actually get them here in NZ..

I read a little bit of this thead with certain expectations, mostly fan stuff and opinions.
I was however surprised to see" value "as a point of interest? I kind of expect to pay for technology, after all we dont have house phones that cost 700.00 dollars.
If value and simplicity really are a deciding factor ,I'd think that 3 clone saws ported at home would be the best bang for the buck? If there life expectancy is just 1/3 of a name brand saw you've still saved about $200.00 and if one came down the line in very good shape you really did well.
I'm not in possession of either saw but some of the argument for either seems invalid, the 500i hasn't really been out long enough to even speculate on its longevity(unless your psychic).
I'm also wondering why this thread exists?

Good enough for who it's for

 

[full chizel]
