Hey,
We had hired a guy to fell all our poplar on our new land. He did the work so cheap and has complained of a tired jonesred saw that I wanted to buy him a new one for his bonus. He does this a lot around the area and would probably be a mix of big and small, hardwood and soft, felling, limbing, and firewood cutting. Which saw would be the better to get for this mixed use? I know the 490 is significantly lighter which is really my biggest concern on the 590. This guy is pushing 70 but he's no small guy. I (and I'm sure he) would appreciate the input.
