I have nothing but good things about the Echo.

My 590 Timberwolf runs like a cheetah and outdoes my 261 but I love them both they have their place.I’ve been running mine hard for years with zero problems the thing rips. I can confirm as a Stihl fan, the Echo 590 is a beast.The 590 is a really solid saw, but open up the muffler and tune it, and it’s a beast.Much better than the Stihl Farm Boss series.It runs great and cuts better than my MS390. We’ll start with the postive and then share the negative… Here are lots of reviews and comments from the large Stihl and Husqvarna Facebook groups. There will always be multiple people listing the Timber Wolf as a better alternative. And it’s not just those two chainsaws, it’s any non-pro 50 or 60cc chainsaw. It has passed the user test with many, many chainsaw enthusiasts giving it two thumbs up and naming it as one of their favorite chainsaws under $500.Īs I put together reviews for other similarly powered chainsaws like the Husqvarna 450 or 455 Rancher, I was surprised by how often the CS-590 comes up as a recommended alternative. It’s affordable, has plenty of power, and has the respect of the chainsaw community too. Unless you particularly need a larger bar, go with the 20″! ECHO CS-590 Reviewįor the money, the ECHO CS 590 is one of the best chainsaws in its class. It’s also sold with 18 or 24-inch bars as well, but 20″ seems to be the sweet spot for this saw. The Timber Wolf is most commonly sold with a 20″ bar and this size runs really well on it. Acme tools – with 18″ bar here or with 20″ bar here.Amazon – with 20″ bar here or with 24″ bar here.View and compare the current CS-590 prices here: Comparable Stihl saws like the 64cc MS391 or Husky saws like the 60cc 460 Rancher cost significantly more but have plastic construction. It’s considered one of the best 60cc chainsaws for the money because of features like its magnesium construction. ECHO chainsaws are made in Japan, the US, and China. The CS-590 first came out in 2013 and continues to be produced today.
