Talking about variables is a valid point but putting Mitch's name in the same sentence with Jmssaws is a real low blow...IMO.

well get over it
his video reminds me exactly how jmssaws did videos

Dude, are you here to have a real conversation?

just showing you his video is *B-S....
tell him to send the echo to joe when he gets back to dyno
if you want to suck mitchs dick
then go ahead but dont try to push the *B-S.... on the rest who have ran the 500i

 

[BangBang77]

Well, that escalated quickly...

Just my opinion, but most of the chains seems dull out of the roll. I always use a file or my granberg precision grinder on a new chain.

And with this size of bar, on a 80cc or a ported 73cc saw, you have to set down the rakers. With a stock RS or EXL chain, even a 60cc saw will scream in this size of wood.

I personally think it’d make sense for a ported 73cc saw to outcut a stock 79cc. And both saws need to have the same bar and chain to make it as even as possible. There’s other variables but that’d make for a long post. I think it’s all in the chain for the most part.

Did anyone see the ported 500i vjdeo?

I had the chance to try this saw, and honestly, the saw is almost perfect... Except for the stock power.

I guess a good porting job will make an amazing saw.

No reason to act like a spoiled leftist. Most of us are here to get information. You have a meltdown when someone mentions Echo and Stihl in the same breath. Did you not see the part where the same b&c was used? Maybe the Stihl was so slow because of the Echo bar...LMAO.

Chill out, grow up, and let's talk like adults.

don’t be calling me a leftist and don’t be trying to spread your *B-S....
The echo may be ahead by some right now
But I still say he was running the 500i like Jmssaws did
And wasn’t allowing it to actually cut
So go back to ass site or *f-wordbutt and spread your *B-S.... there

Tourette's much?...LMAO.

nope just calling out the *B-S....

I agree the video looks fake. I own the 500i (x2) and my saws will cut concrete faster than that one did on that log. At first I thought he was digging into a crotch or something, with the dust and all and you can see where the tree has been cut to shape. Even so, shoulda cut faster than that. I call BS. on the video in the most friendly way.

How is this saw priced in the USA? I can get one for 1050-1100€.

Today, I bought a new 572xp with a "20 bar and 4 chain loops (c85). €980 delivered to the my door.

Even a 462 is cheaper than the Echo, here...

Haha watch out that’s about the only thing that will get you banned.

Was that a capital, “I”..??

I don't always get your grammar.

If it was your video, I’d give it another chance with it run-in and adjusted & with EXL chain.
Out of the box and unadjusted they have notably lower power.
Sure, porting makes a lot more difference as well but box stock it is very far away from stock

 

[av8or3]

When the 500i first hit the shelf at the dealer closest to me he priced it with a 28” light bar for $1215. It’s probably more now, I think MSRP is $1349.

The saw I used was well tuned and had something like 20 tanks through it.

I used c85 chain, I think EXL won't make much difference (actually, it will just be slower, c85 is the fastest chain on the market actually (JMHO).

Honestly, I was more surprised by my old 572 running close to my ported 7900(a longer bar on both saws will tell another story, of course)

Just by looking at the video it seemed it does not work the way it normally does.
Without any comparisons in mind.
Anyway, it’s not worth another derail.
