To me blowing the doors off is cutting twice as fast, lets see some vids after the Echo is broken in good. Steve

Well I made a comparison just yesterday. With a mm the 590 is plenty close to the 562 especially at the price difference, and lets be honest which one starts easier, which one will be more reliable? I know which I'd bet on.
What are you talking about??
One has to ask the question is the 562 worth the extra $300+ to the average person, the answer is a resounding NO!

Considering the price difference it shouldn't be in the same league as the 562. The 590 is a still a damn good saw.

That's the whole point, you're getting a pro level saw at a Rancher/Farmboss type price.

^^^^^^^ winner. The 590 is perfect people like me. I'm a fire wood hack that needed a saw that would run a 20" bar in PA hard woods mostly oak. My choices were the 590 or a ms362. My dealer sead the 362 wasn't $300 better and I'm glad I listened.
At $400 the saw payed for its self on this tree alone when I didn't have to do the bucking with the ms250 in the back ground.

it's all about getting it done. i would take a 590 even if they were the same price lol well maybe not. would be a tough call though.

I really wish I had a reason to own something bigger then 60cc other then I want it. Around my area if you can burry a 20" bar in it its a big tree.
Around here this would be considered big. On a side note it was 95* the day these pictures were taken and the saws stock down to the limit caps. Not all 590s are lean or mine would surely be dead.
The way the carb is designed helps prevent lean issues, and hot air is also thin air. On top of all that it looks like you know what a sharp chain is, that sure helps.

I learned to file from @farmer steve the chain gets touched up ever tank or every other tank depending on how dirty the wood is. Sharp chain good mix = happy sawing.

I'll gladly save my $300+ and keep my echo and take another second or two on my cuts. I would rather have an old style engine like my husqvarna 51 than the new tech anyway.

Do you still have the base gasket in, if so it might be a second faster without it but I wouldn't bother as it cuts good already Steve
I will likely port the saw at some point, so the base and maybe the combustion chamber will see some machine work.

I might break out the McCinderblock or the 62cc Chinese clone for that, but probably would cut it with my old ported Cratsman/Poulan.LOL. take note that the "big wood" is surrounded by weeds for a scale comparison
He's right though, there really is not much big wood around here any more. Given the storms of the last 5 years we've lost most of the larger oaks we had, both red and white. I don't look at oaks the same any more - they'd be pretty tough trees if they had a root system capable of supporting their mass.

that little pinner would come close to filling my f250 above the cab.
