Echo CS-590 timberwolf vs. Echo CS-600P

[moody]

I just finished porting another 600P. I'm damned impressed with those saws.

The build quality and price makes Echo hard to overlook. Not to mention the stock performance isn't that bad to begin with. Sadly enough I've yet to have one sent in for tampering.

I hate to be the devil advocate, and not trying to start drama. But What saw did you compare side by side with, Also could you explain about the john deer pushing so much more then the cat. Did they have the same kind of tracks? because the cat has more hp and is a heaver machine, I would think they would be very close, as the cat only weighs around one ton more, and only has a very small amount more power. The only reason I ask, when we give a opinion and compare something, lets make sure its unbiased. Because someone may use it, and there findings may differ.

I picked up a minty almost new 600p. Looks to be well built. Can't wait to try it out!

Rory, if you want to make it a bit stronger the muffler is a breeze to open up. Send me a PM if you decide to do it and have your muffler off.

I was wondering about that because if you look on echos website the next model above the 600, I forget the model number, says it delivers 13% more power with the same engine size. Sounds like that 13% could be had from a simple mm?

Not sure what I am doing with it, probably just going to sell it. She is like new.

What do you want for it?.

620 it's a pretty interesting saw. They really are wanting to move the full wrap version. I'm working on getting power ratings from my distributor

The specs are a bit closer to other 60cc saws than Echo saws usually are, but still not quite in the top league, and not even halv close to the Huskys, specially not the 560xp/2260 - anyway, that model seem like a major step forward for Echo in the 60cc class (likely it really is a new Shindaiwa in Echo dress).

The only Shindaiwa design that made it when Echo bought them was the 500p. I know that the 590 timber Wolf is 4.0hp.

I'm sure that Masterminds word on the CS600p is pretty well what anyone would need to know.I have one and I'm impressed with it stock and muffler modded.I've ran just about anything comparable including the clamshells.Clamshells against a cs600 is like comparing apples to oranges.I've owned and modded both the 455 rancher and the ms290 and they just can't compare.The 455 on performance and the 290 on reliability or performance.
Yes I'm damned impressed would love to get my hands on a cs620.

Yes that cs620 in the 3/4 wrap looks pretty good.

It's about the same weight as a 372. I'd probably compare it to a 6400 power wise.

I like to see Niko's face after running this 600P.

It is all orange, just a different shade I guess!

JK ST!

I'm not sure if it was Echo that bought Shindaiwa, or if it was their parent company - anyway, the design staff from Shindaiwa may well still be in action, as it obviously was better than the Echo one, even though it wasn't "world class"......

I was talking about a cs590, wouldn't you compare a cs600 to a ms362 or a 562xp?

They only killed the saw line. Yamabiko Corp made the purchase. The 500p is very under rated and for the money is very competitive with any saw in the price range.

No that's where the 600P comes in. The 590 is directly marketed against the 290/291 and 455's. The 590 holds the upper hand IMO being a split mag case at less than $400

That would be like dreaming - not realistic at all!

Could well be, with that "competition".
