    Opinions on saws in the $400-450 range.

    This is why I don't buy a 421. I want to try one but my 550xp weighs the same and of course has more power. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Opinions on saws in the $400-450 range.

    I run an 8 pin on the 044 in pine sometimes. It was white pine...it went through it faster than expected almost hit dirt lol. Also ran it in black gum that way. Need to try it in Oak sometime just to see. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Echo 590 lean adjust?

    Stihl chain has a colored link well at least the older ones did. Yellow was non safety...green was low kick back safety. I used that link for a starting point when sharpening. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Echo 590 lean adjust?

    Considering the price difference it shouldn't be in the same league as the 562. The 590 is a still a damn good saw. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    K&N air filter

    I've been using them in trucks for close to 20yrs. They aren't hard to maintain. That's user error. They should work fine on a saw too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Stihl MS 241-CM versus an Echo CS-361P

    If you're going to spend $500 plus just get a 550xp. It will smoke any stock 40cc with about the same weight as the heavier ones. If you want to spend less and don't mind a heavier 40cc go with Dolmar 421. Less weight and low cost...Echo 400. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    '15 Echo CS620PW Information

    My 590 will out noodle my 044 because the 590 has a larger discharge versus the small 044 cover. I know the 372 was being compared but I don't own one so I can't give an opinion on it. I do know if I really needed a 70cc I would sell the 044 and 590 and buy a new 372. Sent from my...

    Newbie purchaed 562xp-gw

    This is why I stick with my 550. I want to try a Dolmar 421 but it's the same weight and less power. I agree with the angel thing lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Stihl 044 Idle Problems

    I had a similar issue with an 044. I replaced the usual things still wouldn't idle. Replaced the air filter and it will idle all day. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything just giving input lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Echo pole saw

    Never ran one of their pole saws but it's on my list to buy. Going to stop buy the local dealer and see what they have. I do have an SRM 280 trimmer if the pole saw has similar power I know it will be stout. The trimmer is a beast. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Anybody got tennitus?

    Nope not the case with good foam plugs. The ones we wear at work have a higher db rating than ear muffs. I've tried both and the plugs block more sound for me. The key to foam plugs is you have to wear them properly. You can't just shove them in and expect them to work. I've been using the...

    Husqvarna 550xp vs echo cs490

    You can tune that echo and the 550 will still stomp it. I own a 550 I know how they cut. Not bashing echo as I own a couple and really like them. Still thinking of grabbing a 490 to mess around with but my 550 will still be king. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Homelite XL12 muffler

    I had an xl12 with the same muffler. It was my dad's saw. I asked him once about putting a new muffler on it because of how loud it was....he said it is a new muffler lol This was 30 years ago. Also had my grandfather's xl12 it had the larger muffler and was a little more quiet but not much...
