Hey thanks I appreciate that. It'll probably be a year in the making that kind of move takes some planning. How is the weather where your at ? It's 90* at 9:30 at night here it sucks

I want to spend summers in Alaska and winters in Texas.
Food for thought BigBlock maybe try and grab bplusts 600P for 325 plus shipping and have rattler port that... It would be about the same cost, probably less and you would have (for all intensive purposes) the same saw!?

Very true. That wrap handle is so sexy though
Echo looker check this possible Ebay score out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Echo-CS-600...0019&clkid=7795941083047309643&_qi=RTM2067267

Yeah...but $520 + $30 shipping...you can buy a new 620PW with a warranty for $50 more.

My wife bought my 620 off ebay for $579 and free shipping from Dickens Turf and Landscape. They are now up to $609.99 and still free shipping. I've talked to the guy from Dickens in Tennessee a couple of times...good guy and straight shooter. He even throws in a six pack of one gallon Echo mix ($16 value):

I personally would not buy a used one for $100 less unless you know who has it and trust how it's been cared for. The savings would quickly be ate up by any major repairs.

Got back from camping (again) a few days ago and have some time tonight to give my thoughts on the 600p vs. 620p. While in camp, I had time to really compare the two side by side. Spent probably an hour just cutting cookies. Here are the saw details:
600p running a 20" bar, MM, tab delete and tune.
620p running a 24" bar, completely stock.
Each saw running the same no ethanol premium fuel (Echo 40:1), the same factory Oregon LPX chain, and elevation was about 7000 ft.
Just handling the 620 between cuts and revving the saw up, it's noticeably faster than the 600. With the factory porting, unlimited coil etc, I have no doubt it is. I don't have a tach so I couldn't tell you what RPM each saw was running. But here is the surprising thing: In the cut, I couldn't tell much difference between the two. The 600 has so damn much torque it really surprised me. Would I choose it over the 620? Absolutely not. When the 620 gets that really restrictive 90* deflector cut out, the tab delete and tune like the 600, I think it will be a beast.
I'm I happy with the 600? Definitely. Will I get it ported? No. Although it would be fun to run one that has been, I don't think (for the average firewood cutter like me) it is necessary. You can really lean on this saw (although I don't) and it just keeps grunting through the cut. What more could you ask for? It is reasonably priced, torquey as hell, reliable as the day is long (it's an Echo), starts easy, is fuel efficient, and did I mention good looking? My opinion of course.

.Yes Mike and I were talking about the fact that from the factory the 620 has much more going for it, bigger carb, better porting #s, unlimited coil and full wrap. If you are interested in any of those items the 620 may be the saw for you...
THAT being said, the 600P is a great saw as well with tons of torque and a muffler mod and good tune (let alone porting) will really bring it to life. I don't know that the unlimited coil makes a huge difference as these saws don't seem to need the chain speed that some others shoot for.

Porting? Yeah, I do. I think Mike is a stand up guy, but I also appreciate the work he does and the fact he is not blinded by brand. Don't be spiteful just because no one mentions or is grateful for the work you do or how you treat them.
