60cc Awesomeness, who is king?

Pretty sure you can’t take advantage of snap..

So your superman? Steve

AND I did a "start" race with some of the saws having sat in the back of the truck for quite a while...which one "won"

I have noticed on my new 562, prime, decomp, set choke, pops when pulled, have had it drop off high idle on second pull. Reset high idle pull and it's running. Restarts when warm, no choke one pull start. Ported 390 is not a pleasure to start either without decompression. Enjoy your videos, Thanks.

Again, the guy broke into the auto market. Please tell me you really arnt saying the saw market would be as hard, or even in the same realm.

Right ! It’s pointless to speculate what Elon Musk may or may not do ... Anyone with sufficient mechanical aptitude and lotsa $$$ could do it ! See Robert Paxton McCulloch

 

[Frank Rizzo]

You hit the nail on the head! People like putting their heads in the sand.

Or their foot in their mouths ! Hey did you ever mend fences with Hotsaws101? Inquiring minds want to know ... I guess you were the first guy he ever had to ban from his channel and he’s been on for over 10yrs ... also word has it you and Buckin and you and some Black Cat dude have some beef .... if you are in the wrong an apology wood suffice and carry on ... otherwise I woodnt go round making enemies

Walt always makes nice videos. Saws with primers will always start faster when they've been sitting awhile, it's the restarts in the heat the 5 series Husqvarna saws have issuse with. Now the 572 I ran restarted fine in 90° temperatures, which was nice to see.

I didn’t say that. Your reading comprehension needs work.

You are the genius that always comes on with a personal attack on me. You always start with a brilliant personal attack. I think it’s amusing.

So I just get amused and give it back.

Snap is what it’s all about for pros who fall, limb and do a little bucking. Snap is what gets the job done quicker for those guys who have the talent to use it. Why do you think the midsize huskies still sell like crazy in spite of their (somewhat recent-ish) historic issues? Because they handle and have snap. Lazy trigger fingers with poor timing need not apply.

THIS!!!! 1000 times over, THIS is what cutting timber is all about! Its why I use a 390xp instead of a 372xp! A fraction of a second means NOTHING to a wood cutter but to a timber cutter its the difference between a smooth cut veneer log and a splinter pulled saw log. Or even worse, a shattered mess of firewood. I haven't ever cut timber with a 562xp but after building one and seeing how responsive it is, Im going to TOMORROW!

The Echo Cheerleading Squad is very defensive.

It’s pretty funny really. Transparent to those who read between the lies ... errr lines.

The only cheerleader on the squad who never gives a concession to reality concerning his product is mountainlake. Stubborn bugger him. At least the rest of the squad has a clue.

I don’t give a hoot what a professional uses. All I want is decent power and a saw that is easy to start and doesn’t cost a fortune.
I swear, some of you cut more wood “online” than you do in the field.
OK, continue your arguement

LOL well your info says you are in TN, so youre welcome to come see how much wood this professional cuts anytime. I knew from one of your previous posts I saw that you weren't using saws to make a living when you asked what "dogs" were. I don't mean that as a slam or derogatory, just an observation. Loggers have a certain language that's a little different from the rest of the world (except for drunk seasick sailors) and the word "dogs" is part of it.

 

[Huntaholic]

Another observation Ive made and haven't commented on until now is all the saw pics I see posted with both sets of dogs on their saws. When I see that I know with an almost certainty that the poster doesn't cut standing timber for a living. Any guesses as to why I assume that?

What a line of bs, how long does that SNAP last, maybe 1/2" or 1" into the cut, then its down to power and torque. If you get splinter from falling a log that has NOTHING to do with snap .Its how you cut a tree down. Snap is how fast a saw revs up and has nothing to do with power and torque. Steve

I absolutely am not a professional nor do I make money selling wood or cutting trees. All I do is cut firewood for our stove and clear up what Mother Nature decides to lay down on our trails or road.

If you say so

We are having a little GTG here at my place in a couple of weeks and i know there will be a ported 590 here. i'll try and get one of the guys with more smarts than me get and post a vid of it cutting. i get what some of the logger guys say about snap etc. when cutting lumber/veneer logs but the majority of the guys here are firewood cutters that need/want a reliable saw. there are enough guys i talk to across the forum here that have the 590 and are well satisfied with it. NO it's not the awesome 60cc king but it's right up there with many of the saws mentioned so far. Did i mention i love my STIHLS?

 

[holeycow]

hey! I’m starting to quite like my cs590. The defensive folks focus on my negative comments, not my positive ones. Oh well.

I thought this thread was about what the title said, is all.

And then eventually I started slashing and burning my way to here...

 

[mountainlake]

I run a portable sawmill and I can tell you a chainsaw that revs up fast has NOTHING to do with splinter pull in the center of a log. I can see where he wants to run a 390 vs a 372 as he can cut through the center faster eliminating the splinter pull. If he thinks a 562 is going to cut as fast as a 390 keep thinking. Steve

 

[farmer steve]

@holeycow did you put dual dawgs on that 590?
