I've been following this site for a while...just joined today...I've had chainsaws my whole life..(I'm 68 now)...started cutting pulpwood on our farm at the age of 12 with a then "new" Pioneer...currently have a 36ish year old Mac PM610 (that still runs great) and a 31 year old Echo CS 6700 (which is now the CS680)...it still screams...OK...yeah, both get a tad heavy when I'm just limbing or cutting small stuff...soooo....I went ahead last week and an ordered a CS490 with an 18" bar...got it yesterday...(besides a Homelite 330 I had many moons ago, this is the only saw I've had that doesn't have manual oiling). I ran a tank thru it last evening, cutting some smallish dead pines and a couple of dead oaks (I've got around 30 acres of woods). I think this will fit the bill!! Cuts great..Now..can some one give me the details on the muffler mod??? Thanks! Shrps74
