Not trying to start a fight but it is an honest question from someone who wants a bigger saw. I know, the 590 isn't the most powerful 59cc saw nor the shiniest in the stable. But it can cut big wood for a small price, some changes are necessary though. I want to clear some trees around my place but I don't heat with firewood. So a giant pro saw would be nice, but I might not use it after I get my trees cut. I hear a 590 is supposed to respond well to a muffler mod. And a lot of people around here like their 590s. What says you guys? Thanks!
The Criteria For What I am Doing:
Small felling and bucking. Definitely nothing bigger than 40". I need to take some measurements and see what the diameter of the trees are that I am felling. No large timber just weed trees that have been left to grow for 20 years.
I would like it to be able to bore cut. I would probably change the stock bar and chain to something else more common.
I believe the 590 shares a chassis with the 620 and would accept a full wrap handle from a 620, if I needed it.
Has dogs. Good way to kill a saw with dull chains. I keep my chains sharp.
