Echo CS-590 timberwolf vs. Echo CS-600P

[cobey]

I like my echo's I have (2) cs370s, a 500 EVL, and this 590

 

[DeckSetter]

I'm tempted to pick up a Cs-590 at a good sale price.
Does anyone know if the chain sprocket is the same as either of the ones on my echo cs-520 or cs-670? I'm hoping I can use my bar/chains from either one of those saws on the 590.

590 is 3/8, same mount as the cs-600p/670/680/8000. D176 I think.

Here is a list of what Oregon D176 mount bars will fit;

D176 Oregon will work, but the A176 is the proper mount, because of the pin type tensioner. I have used the large and small Husky bars also.

590 update........ thanks to Alan its great it pulls like a monster, tons of torque. and runs and oils a 24" bar hard

I just got in from noodleing a 40" log I got from dad.... Alan said to work it hard

After comparing the 20" 590 Timberwolf bar to several large mount Husky bars. It seems the 70 dl 20" is actually more like 19". It falls squarely between my 68dl 18" and my 72 dl 20".

Point is, with a bar change off the shelf chain options improve greatly.

Glad ya like it Cobey! I kinda miss having it here in the woods, I'm gonna half ta go back into this 600 and try to make it pull like your 590.

 

[cobey]

i put the bar spacers to make the studs tighter in the bar, it oils even better now i have never run a 59cc
that pulls like this saw... some faster, but not torquier

Hey AWOL ,do u know if the 620 unlimited coil will fit the 600s?
Jughead thinks it will,but not 100% sure.

 

[cobey]

he told me it would

 

[hoskvarna]

he told me it would

Guess ill have to start lookin for one.

the 590 is a good saw but the stock bar is crap the nose wants to flare out after a couple weeks of use.
i recommend a decent bar if you proceed to keep it.

 

[cobey]

mine didnt need the extra RPM's

 

[hoskvarna]

Im used to tunein by sound ,dont know if it is 4strokin or bumpin the coil.
All my other saws are not limited so thats why i was lookin for one.

 

[GrassGuerilla]

So what's the preferred set up on 590's? 18" bar, 20"bar, 24" bar? 18-20 being a no-brainer, will it pull 24" stock with a muff mod?

 

[awol]

Guess ill have to start lookin for one.

Yeah, it will, but Cobey is right, I don't think you need it. They have a heavy, full-skirted piston and are real good at pulling hard and working hard. I'm gonna try to fit a slab-sided 45mm piston and lighter connecting rod to one someday. The carb also has a bypass on the high side, so even if you turn the high screw in all the way, it still may run to rich.
