Best firewood saw for $600?

Echo CS590, a heck of a saw for$400. It has a magnesium crankcase just like a professional saw.

It's been 8 years, I sure hope he's bought a saw by now.

Or owns more than one!

Buy the Husky, or the Stihl then log off this site and forget you ever saw it.

Your bank account will thank you.

Assuming he’s still looking after 8 years, I’d want two saws. It’s nice to have a back up if one quits on you or gets badly pinched. For wood up to 36” I’d be thinking a 70-80cc saw with a 28” bar, whatever the best deal turns out to be. That’s just a great all around size of saw imo. It’s powerful enough for a larger bar and a 28” bar allows you to do a lot of limbing without bending over and it’s not so big or heavy that it’ll wear you out. Augment it with a smaller saw 30-50cc as a backup or for small jobs and you’re pretty well set.
