Chainsaw Repair

Cut4fun had the 702 out again on Friday.

Used a 8 pin rim and a 20" bar

Was run in a comparison with a Dolmar 6800. Though the two chainsaws are close in size. the Dolmar runs at a lot higher rpm and uses a 7 pin rim.

So the Echo 702 is a torque monster?

Anyway, to run both saws, the Dolmar 6800 ran a lot higher rpm but to try to observe how fast the bar was going through the log - it was about the same with both chainsaws.

Either chainsaw would be a good one out in the woods if you needed a good 20" chainsaw.

The 702 is large, dimension wise, but is balanced well. Not a bad chainsaw at all. Also the Echo is more than 20 years older than the Dolmar 6800. However the Dolmar 6800 is a remake of the Dolmar 116Si & 120Si which were improvements on the original 116 and 120 etc. So the designs were not really so far apart.
