New to the site and greatly appreciate any help.
This would be the first time purchasing a chainsaw and I have not used one myself, have been around them though. I'm looking at getting an Echo CS-590. The main reason is that I had several large trees cut and need get them down to a manageable size or just make firewood. I do have a few acres and can see the chainsaw coming in handy from time to time.
I will be getting all the correct PPE and a case for it as well. I have decided on this particular item as I have several pieces from Echo, have had great use with all of them, and seeing how this has good reviews.
I would appreciate some feedback if anyone has had some hands on time with it or some good criticism as well. Should I be looking at 18 or 20 inch? I would also like to know if I'm just looking at too much of a chainsaw for me.
I truly appreciate your time.
