Hi,
I cut about 40 cord of hardwood a year, trees averaging 18" in diameter. I have been using a Rancher 455 for this and sometimes feel like it's not quite the right saw for the task.
I've recently been looking at an Echo CS 590 as a possible replacement, I have been looking at a 372XP as well but Husqvarna is becoming hard to get around here and the Echo being half the price and easy to find seemed like the better choice.
Any thoughts? Is the CS 590 that much different that the Rancher? Is there something else I should be considering?
