Echo CS 590 chainsaw review

Echo rep was nice enough to leave me with a demo for a bit, took the opportunity to go over it and put it through some wood.

[@sabilce]

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

[@corazondevagabont86]

*Coming up on having had this saw for a year....am a casual user and bought it to cut up sections for bowl blanks. Easy to start, **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend even after storage for a couple of months. Simple chain tension adjustment. Just cut up some 20" Osage Orange, including ripping bolts in half (at an angle). Like butter!*

The choke plunger is designed that way, I imagine, so that it can be manipulated with gloves on.

[@marshallallensmith]

I have this saw and would add that the choke issue you mentioned is actually a benefit in my experience. Number one it's not really in the way and number two if it was more flush with the case it would be much harder to manipulate when wearing thick/heavy gloves. So for me I like the fact there is that much material to get ahold of when wearing a pair of heavy gloves or with dirty oily etc. hands where grip is limited.

[@longtalltexan4359]

I have owned my CS-590 for over 5 years. It's a great saw. It starts easy, idles real well, and cuts fast! I have run mine harder, than any, I have owned before. I do keep it up, clean, well oiled, and stored right when put up for months! But, that's what it takes for them to be ready when you need it to run hard again. A fine saw. It's getting heavier as I turn 68, but it eats everything you put in front of it. You have to allow some things! The compression release is nice, it makes pulling the rope easy, for the bigger engine in this saw. If you have big trees to work over...this is the saw. I have spent lots more money for a lot less (name brand) saw in my time. ECHO makes a great bunch of two-stroke powered equipment. I have owned a full spread of them for 20 years, and still going strong.

After all, a car is just a machine and it is only as good, as far as it goes and as much as it costs. I run Japanese chainsaws too. The Echo CS 590 Timberwolf is a machine and it is the best deal in chainsaws on the market. Period bar none. I got mine for $320 out the door brand spanking new from a Echo dealer. If you are arguing otherwise you are stuck in a ethnocentric world. Unless you have extra cash to throw away, then get out of your ethnocentric world and you will be a lot happier.

These saw are super reliable...and have tons of torque for a 60cc saw...not.much it can't handle!!!!

[@jerva245]

I've owned one of these for a little over 2 years, and use it almost weekly . Great saw, but a few observations; If I flush cut stumps, and it spends extended time on its side, and I stop it o take a break, that thing will not re-start at all ---sometimes for the rest of the day. If she stays upright, no worries, even in 90 percent humidity and above. The chain adjustment pin just snapped off and was replaced under warranty by the dealer, but the replacement looks different . It does have tons of power and destroys all the hardwood we have here, including an 80 year old black walnut, most recently . Anti-vibe is good, but no quite up to Husq or Stihl. That's nitpicky, I know! Overall, the best 400 dollar saw out there, in my humble opinion.

[@obfuscated3090]

Mine does that shit too. It can't be anything but a carb design defect.

[@mcmsmt06]

I have had the exact same thing happen with a Stihl MS 390 after flush-cutting a stump. I shut it off, and it would not restart.

[@PartTimeYooper]

Happens with mine. Two things: Never choke if its warm. (I'm guessing you are not) But that will definitely flood it. Second is if mine is hot and been run on its side, I'll start it by running with throttle wide open. Feel like most saws don't need this these days but its helped with refiring my saws after "those" kinda cuts. PS...I usually make those guys with the whimpy little saws do the stump cutting while the big boy bucks the rest...

[@supporterofsanity]

Jerry Counts I know this is an old post but I learned to loosen the fuel cap on my 590 to release pressure build up before I tried to start the saw after it sets in the sun. Maybe that trick will Work in side cutting situation?

I've used Echo for about 6 years, brilliant units, no problems with them, i use stihl, shindaiwa also, don't ever knock the Shindaiwa, that's echo in a red colour but cheaper, very reliable & strong in cutting...Stihl are brilliant & tough with a lot of power also...never worry with just the main brands, go with a variety..you'll save & get the job done with cheaper/reliable/ strong saws

[@Human1337]

Absolutely, each of those brands have some damn fine products. For me, service and support are the big factors with what I buy. Also, I know how to fix stihl, recently learned with the Husqvarna T540 that learning to repair other brands can be a bit of a pain when you're used to something being designed a certain way.

[@steppoffaith8426]

Shindawa are blue also and are no different than dolmar. Which is the third best production saw. And serviceability is huge point human. Lots of sthil models interchange likewise with husky.

I'm pretty much asked to cut all the big stuff since I'm faster that guys with saws that cost hundreds more. Now I have a Husky 372xp as my other saw, and its slightly faster (should be as it's 10 cc more and $400 higher MSRP) but if I was a homeowner or weekend firewood warrior, I wouldn't hesitate at all about buying this saw.

The reviews by those that bought them at home depot are top notch. I use a system of 4 and 5 star ratio to 1 star and I believe it was like 12-1. My blue Max is 6-1 the poulon is like 3-1 like the inferior husky. The Husky 455 and 460 at Lowes ratios are top notch while their 435 down to 240 are so similar to poulon. Alternatives in the low priced field is the Ryobi 37cc 14-16 inch and the Remingtons 18-20. My next 20 inch homeowner deal will be in this order Husky 455, echo590 or another Blue Max 52 cc.

[@alexmatthews2332]

Only things I don't like about these saws (I have a 620P which is an upgraded version of this) are one the filtration system likes to pull in water if your like me where in tree service some days rain is unavoidable, soaks filter, instantly runs like shit! Second which is my bigger gripe because it cant be avoided is the chain tensioner will not allow for use of the complete chain, at about 30% teeth length your chain will be slack and dangling and your forced to buy new chain. Other than that, its about perfect seriously!

[@Human1337]

Yeah, that doesn't make much sense to me either. Thanks for the insight on the saws though, I love hearing what others have to say.

+Human No problem, nice reviews on everything. You Should check out some dolmars, good saw awful dealer support!

[@deadlydunright7552]

I have a cs-590 i have to remove a link to get full use of the chain, i went ahead and put some rubber 0 rings on the filter and it has helped immensely as far as the air filter sucking shit into the intake. The filter design is a problem if you dont add the o rings to the seals. Those are definitely my only bitches though its a great saw cut about 35 cords with it and its going strong, dont ever cut in the rain tho...

[@zaineridling]

I have two great Stihls and the Echo 620PW, which is similar in every way to this one except the wrap-around handle. However, I come across the same problem as Alex Matthews had below with chain tensioning until I did two things: (1) locked down the nuts tighter than they should be, and (2) switch to Stihl chains, which for some reason don't seem to stretch as much under the heat of a long cut. However, I still can't figure out how to safely remove the top cover to access other parts. I removed every screw I could find and it still wouldn't let go! ha.

[@Human1337]

Not sure about the top cover, and don't have it available any longer to find out for you. On the chains though, the stihl chains are pre-stretched, so they do hold shape better than others that aren't. Though of those, I've only run the oregon, but the difference was noticeable, I was having to tighten up the chain way to damn much.

Have a 14" homelite (yes, garbage). Buying either Stihl farm boss or Echo CS 590. My garage is full of echo products. 75% leaning towards echo saw. What do you think. From my extensive research, they are comparable in reliability. Echo has longer warranty. Stihl is very temperamental - especially if you mix and match elevations when using saw (home versus camp). Comparable in price. Echo stock chain is more aggressive. Echo easier to adjust/maintain. Echo comparable motor CC greater than Stihl as it relates to price.

[@Human1337]

After running both, I'd say it's one of those things that comes down to a color preference. They're both great saws, each one has something that the other doesn't, but nothing that is a deal breaker on either end. I'm personally a bit more fond of stihl than echo, but that's due to reasons that aren't significant enough for me to recommend one over the other. Honestly, either way you go, I think you'll be pleased, both great saws.

Hello Human Me again. Re CS-590 I know it comes standard with either an 18" or a 20" bar and a 20" I do want I think plus a small length bar - so could you also put a 16" or enen a 14" bar on this saw? For a two bar option. if no - why not? I understand why you can't go too big but what is the problem in going smaller if any?

I know this is an old vid but if anyone finds this while looking for saw options the choke is not an issue. WHat is annoying though is the on off switch when you are wearing bigger gloves. You can easily accidentally turn this saw off when operating. That is annoying, however, this is a great saw, easy to start, very fast cutter and if you are a landowner you will most likely find yourself just forgoing all other saws and running this one even for little stuff.

Should I trade my ms461r for this?? My neighbor really has been on me about it... But I have an MS362cm that is getting the hotsaws101 treatment... so maybe bye bye 461?

[@thatlookslikeanasteroid1926]

[@jeremypaluck4246]

Going to pick mine up Friday 😃

Hi Human, what is your idea of a decent chain for this saw ? I am cutting firewood and removing the odd tree ? I am located in Australia, so something that can be found in e bay would be great. Cheers !

[@Human1337]

I've tried a few, and always go back to stihl chains, they stretch noticeably less than the others I've tried.

[@GotrekGurninsson]

Looks like dirt is getting around that filter.

[@codywelter2531]

Would u buy sthil over this echo

[@tomgreen8390]

Will this saw cut down a tree ?

[@tylersteele1887]

Can't tell if the choke is made out of metal or not it looks like it would snap right the f*** off if it was plastic

[@albertledesma5173]

Tyler steel Plastic.

[@bigpapi3636]

I have a CS-341 top handle that's a great little climbing saw, light and easy to start. Not a fan of their larger units. I don't care for the toggle kill switch and the hokie choke setup. She's a pretty stout looking unit from your video though.

[@HiLineTree]

Nothing hokie about a quality toggle switch vs a piece of spring tin rubbing on a spade terminal that you find in s Stihl. Simple and dependable choke. What the hell is hokie about that? Saw expert’s extraordinaire 😆

[@phillipkramer1897]

Got a couple bars that say Echo timber wolf

[@tysonjames2483]

I have the same saw cuts great !! But they need to upgrade the handles from plastic to aluminum . The plastic breaks way too easy lol

[@nathangreve2453]

Tyson James the 600 and 620p handles fit the 590. Same fit. Go for it

[@obeconoberougle9497]

Thoughts on the Echo 620?

[@TristonBrownfield]

What size bar did this have? Trying to decide between 20 and 24”

[@Saw_Squatch]

If I were you and you have any use for a longer bar I'd get the 24" bar with the saw then get an aftermarket 20" bar set up for a 72dl chain instead of echo's 70dl 20" setup, it'll be way easier to find chain

[@keithcramer3844]

Thank u for video

[@JohnJohn-lc9gb]

Great video!

[@mikesalter2171]

what's the difference in hp between this saw and their 620p with the same displacement?

[@adamevans4824]

Mike Salter the 590 and the 620 are different in their ignition coil, carb, dual bucking spikes, aluminum handle, and the 620 is higher compression

[@nathangreve2453]

The 620 has %15 more power than the 590. The 590 is a tweak down version of the 600p.

[@eddy25gr]

Do a Makita review.

[@CowboyAxe]

Nice machine but I do not like the choke set up or the kill switch, metal and a cheap old zapper you might have seen on ancient saws, but that said she looks powerful and well made.

[@Human1337]

Pretty much my thoughts as well, not a bad line of chainsaws, just need a couple polishing touches to really start competing with the big names in my opinion.

[@CowboyAxe]

Yes they look well made besides the few points I mentioned. I treat my saws like my hunting rifles, I know where all the important things are, safety, bolt release etc and I trust them. I clean my saws before I shower myself or eat at the end of a day. I just leave my saws dirty enough on the outside so they do not call me a lazy fuck, hahaha. Husqvarna or Stihl users etc will not buy a good machine if it has sloppy features. But I admire the quality and for the price, it looks like one that may last a long time. If they clean up the switch and the choke lever they will fly off the shelves. The look and feel of a saw is almost as important as the power market wise.

[@myronhuffman91]

I like the simple toggle switch and choke! Also the metal housing.
