Need my first saw- a keeper

[Andyshine77]

Nope. Echos are likely tuned lean from the factory. Dealer set-up takes care of that. I would NOT advocate buying one from HD, nor a Husky from Lowe's. Dealer support--as with any saw purchase--is a huge part of the equation.



We do not know, but I would argue that for his intended purposes, they are unnecessary. My saw is bone stock, correctly tuned, and with a full chisel chain does absolutely everything a landowner could want. Brad checked it at the NW Indiana GTG and was impressed with how strong it ran in stock form. I--and I imagine the OP--don't need it to cut any faster.

My 590 was turned fine out of the box. A bit of information for you guys. You can seat the H speed needle, and the carb will still supply enough fuel to the saw, to keep it from burning up, as the carb has a bypass setup.

Lets face it if the emissions limits are tightened much more on this type of equipment small businesses that require them and large industries would suffer.

I don't think so. It turns out to have been pretty trivial to meet these limits. Just tweak the timing and stuff a cat on the high volume saws, and you can sell the larger ones with without the cat thanks to averaging/credits. Even the Chinese can do it (and are). In the mean time the technology to do more has been developed.

And to all the AT saw lovers. No kidding they're safer, they never accelerate, or start when hot, or cold, or during that special time of the month, or with the wrong carb, or coil, or fuel.......

How 'bout that solo 665.


Dem engineers were some pissed off, ya know?

You're clueless.

You must run saws for a living. Weekend warrior work and full time tree service work are two different things. Show me a video where stock for stock a 590 whips a 555 and I'll believe you.
Again, as I said they make a fine saw. But there is a reason they are not being used by people who make there living running saws.

I bought a saw- an Echo 600P. Guys told me it was more than I need at the moment, and should be able to meet my needs in the future. 59.8cc, came with a 24" bar, will take up to a 27" bar, but I may get a 20" bar & chain so I am not cutting a 14-16" tree with 24", unless you guys think that's fine to do? My thoughts are that a 20" might be more suited to my usual needs, but I will also have this 24" setup for when I need it, and that it would be safer to cut with as little extra saw as needed. Is my logic correct?

Nice! Congrats on your purchase. I would get a 20" to use st of the time and save the 24 for when u need it. Let's see some pics!

 

[HuskStihl]

Logical!

Solid saw. I have a 20" & 27" set up for mine. Make sure you run good fuel and red armor or echo oil and keep that warranty in check but you will be very happy. I dont want you to look up muffler mods and re tuning but those wouk make your new saw even better after a few tanks. check out this thread for any echo questions/concerns etc. Welcome to the site and the addiction.

Now we need piss rev'n video.

Of the bike and saw...

At the same time.

 

[CTwith3]

Yeah, make me rev my Harley- G-d I hate doing that. Not. I'll get that up real soon. First I have to figure out how to roll the throttle on the bike and pull the trigger at the same time.

 

[Spellfeller]

Echos are well made saws - they are sold cheap because they lack features other products have. If you don't care about that then you can get a saw with equivalent capabilities at a reduced price.

Winner! Can we all move along now?
Congrats to the OP on the new saw!

For sh-ts and giggles ...
