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

[hoskvarna]

Ok I'll just run it. Thanks

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.

you can use a large husky mount with 72 drivers, might check 18" bars in that mount.
I wouldnt run a 24 on one thats not modded. if you use a lg husky mount it works better
with stud spacers, but will work without them

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?

I don't see how a 24 could be a problem on a 590 since the 600p generally comes with a 24" and they're basically the same saw. I haven't tried one yet but expect it to handle it well.

If you do run a 24" on your 590, full skip chain might be a good choice. I tried Cobeys 590 in some hard Walnut with a 24" 81 driver bar, before porting, and it was not impressive at all.
Although the engine is basically the same on the 590 and 600, the cylinders are different part numbers. As seen in my earlier post with the stock port timing numbers, the 590 transfers open earlier to give 5° less blow down than the 600. This means the 590 has less power than the 600.

I swapped out the Timber pup bar and chain for a Shindaiwa branded Oregon power match 72 dl and an LGX chain. Almost ironic that the Shin bar landed on its own descendant. Works out much better using a "normal" 72dl. Glad I didn't go buy a handful of 70dl oddballs.

will the 620 top end fit or no? a full wrap handle would be nice like the cs-620pw.
i installed a 200GLHD176 oregon pro lite bar and im giving it a try with a spool of oregon 72Lpx
thought i would try this chain out.

I ended up buying one with a 20" bar.
Very pleased. Runs like a beast. First echo product I've bought that actually ran fine without needing to be set richer, right out of the box. A tad heavy, but I can live with it.
Significantly more power than my cs-520, which I thought was a perfect all around saw. Not sure I can go back to it , lol.

Well guys i am no longer a echo owner.
I traded the ported 600 for dolmar 7900,couldnt pass.
It sure ran good,would out cut my brothers husky 359 with 357xp P&C,not by much but it would.
Who knows ,will prolly get another someday?

a 7900 is in a class by itself im keeping my 590, but made a deal for a 660 stihl for a big saw
the AWOL 590 wont ever leave

I got a CS590 with an 18" bar back in the fall . For $399 and a 5 year warranty it's a no brainer . I'm going to run it a bit in the spring to make sure it's good and then open up the muffler and tweak the carb .

Hey guys new here and in the market for my first saw went to my local stihl dealer and checked out the farm boss but leaning more towards the Timberwolf when I got to my local Echo dealer he said he just sold his last one he could either order me one or he had a cs600p on the shelf he would do 499 on... Would it be worth it for me to just spend the extra $100 and get the 600? Thanks

how much cutting are you going to be doing.if a lot it probably would be due to the cost of the spur sprocket.with the 600 you'll be able to replace the rim sprocket much cheaper.

You will be glad u went with the echo instead of farmboss. Go with 600 imo.

I'm probably not going to be doing a whole lot of cutting after the initial clearing of my homesite for construction but just figured for that little of a difference it was probably worth the upgrade since he's going to make me a deal on the 600... At least I'm guessing that's a decent price not really sure

 

[fordf150]

that is $70-100 off the price of the 600. rim drive drum is $50. aluminum wrap is $75. laminate bar to solid bar is a $20 upgrade

 

[john damps]

Howdy;

Can anyone explain these two models as far as the price difference and any performance differences?

cs-590

cc: 59.8
price: $450-460

cs-600P



cc:59.8
price: $560-590 ??
why is this one so much more? It look very much like the cs-590 size wise.

Echo claims the cs-590 timberwoof has more power than same size stihl and husqvarna?? They do not give the comparion models form Stihl - Husqvarna.??Ok they did on the pdf chart-stihl 290 stihl 291 and husqvarna 455 rancher, so that is the category for this saw.

I did do a search on this but I didn't get any results so if this is already been discussed sorry in advance, thanks again.

ps : I saw a husqvarna saw ad on TV this weekend and they pronouced husqvarna "hoosqvarna", is that right? :msp_confused:

WELL HERE IT GOES,SOME OF THESE GUYS JUMP RIGHT INTO AN HUSKY 562XP [I HAVE 1]THEY COMPAIRE TO SAWS WAY OUT OF WHAT YOUR INTRESTED,FOR THE MONEY AND WARRENTY THE ECHO 590 TIMBERWOLF IS ONE OF 2 BEST BUYS ON EARTH, I have 2 590 echo and love them and I log I use them,fellen-limbing-cutting on landing, the second being the jonsred new cs2255,the echo is 399.99dont let the guys on this site compare to a 700 dollor saw.i sent 5 tractor trailor loads out this week. I used the 2 formenchened [20 inch bar]391 stihl-[new]echo 680 and husky 372xp.and used them all for all phases,you will be very happy with the 590 echo-the 600 as a pro sprocket-little different bar,but not worth the xtra money,echo does stand behind their saws,they pick up the phone and call,i had an issue with the 680 chain techner twice,i have no problem felling 20-29 inch trees 175 ft high with the 590 echo or the 2255 jonsred,and have the pictures to prove it,when looking at saws STAY ON TOPIC,YOU MENCHEN A 400 DOLLOR SAW AND GUYS ARE FIGHTING OVER 750 DOLLOR SAWS,i have many so no particular saw gets over used,and the most important thing I can tell you is use manufacture synthetic oil non ethanol gas and startron gas treatment,i have never had gas issues, good luck. john sr,
