A correctly sharpend chain and correct cutting techniques (= not holding the front handle in the middle but on the side and leaning on to it to "force" the saw threw the wood) has more impact in my experience.It helps me cut straight whilst bucking
Hello sir I see your not far from me. You would need to cut alot of wood to need a new filter on the 590 in my opinion I probly have 20+ tanks on mine still on the factory filter. They cut well above there pay grade.Homeowner/firewood perspective:
I picked up a CS-590 a couple weeks ago from a suggestion by rmh3481. My 031AV with a 20" speed tip is heavy and quite fatiguing to use, even though i resurrected it and runs fantastically for a 40+ year old saw... Got the Echo for $300 as a demo model from a local landscape equipment shop. Seller said it had just over an hour of use on it, but I dont believe him now. The bar looked quite worn but it also looks and feels like a POS. The sprocket has more wear than 1 hour's worth IMO.... Date of manufacture is March 2016. I removed the muffler screen and bottom deflector, "greased" the air filter plenum, and turned up the fuel a little bit 1/2 turn is all it needed, and put on a new Oregon LGX chain. Night and day difference between both saws. Very low vibration, faster and feels lighter.
When comparing chains, I did notice that the Carlton (Woodland PRo) 30RC (on my 031AV) and the Oregon LGX cut differently, 30RC throws larger square chips, whereas the LGX is more thin-longer chips... I may upgrade the CS590 to a 20" Oregon Power Match or a Pro Lite.
So whats the deal with filters? Are they easily cleaned, reusable?
