bought a 2nd shindaiwa 591 20" bar

[Blackops]

well my first one is in the shop awaiting a part - slow parts and so slow and shabby new dealer - the old guy was great. the new kid is a jerk. had none in stoick and found one and a super cheap price out of state and in stock - have bars and chains and sharpeners so a 2nd was a great decision. have not put it together yet or started it - will do friday after stroms tomorrow., been really swamped today. i have been impressed with the first one. was going to get an echo but the model i wanted not in stcok so the old owner said since new season coming up he cut me a deal on the shindaiwa with the 20" bar. been pleased overall and i CUT wood so it has been through a lot.
FWIW!!!

Never had a shindaiwa dealer locally. In 17 years full time repair ive only seen 2, both 488s.

I've never seen one of those, go figure. The only Shinny saw I know of is a 488? a buddy has. Is that an Echo 590 in red flavoring?

Nope. 490.

Nope. 490.

I'm just impressed I got close. The only time I saw one was fall of 2019, and it only briefly walked across my bench.

I've only seen pics. And I like the red better than the orange. Just like Jonsered/Husky with me I guess.

not sure re: echo model as reference. as I said - i was going to get an echo but they were out and the new ones were on their way and needed a new one when the husqvarna pooped out. that was to small for my needs too. so i was offered the 591 at a deal. the 2nd was to have same bars and chains and sharpeners. and a backup when needed.

cut yesterday 36" -50" logs. cut nicely!

Yup. Echo 590 = Shindaiwa 591
