Never had one … but wish I had.
I haven't read it but 5 year warranty probably doesn't extend to commercial service.Echo. Simple, dependable, cheap $399 for Timberwolf , 5 year warranty. I think the 590 is still best bang for buck out there.
Commercial warranty is two years.I haven't read it but 5 year warranty probably doesn't extend to commercial service.

With a new echo he has to buy new bars, not to mention you can't even use a 72 driver chain on a 20" bar, it's a bad choice.
We got a new 501 and 355 a few months back..they don't do anything for me performance wise, but they are pretty reliable.
I’m with you I haven’t run any other echo saws that were very impressive but the 620 is the exception to me. The 590 is worlds above the Competition in the farm saw market to me though. I haven’t run a 501 but the 500 was a dog. If he is is cuttin firewood the 590 is pretty solid for that.With a new echo he has to buy new bars, not to mention you can't even use a 72 driver chain on a 20" bar, it's a bad choice.

Can always sell the 70dl stuff and get a bar adapter and be back in business

I might be going out on a limb here but since he dealing with the OP and not a Stihl shop I figured he would do some mixing and matching to get to work.Ya...tree service guys do that stuff..lol.
Like i said, id buy a 361 or a new version 362 with a standard carb and get back to work.
that's what I'm saying.With the adaptor he could run all his stihl bars/chains.
I have to admit the Echo is the best bang for the buck IMO, lots of tree services are going to echo, simple to operate, tough as nails. Very fairly priced, save a few hundred easily over a 562/362.
We have 2 great echo dealers here, couple hundred bucks x 20-30 saws adds up.

Im well aware of that, but the likelihood of it is slim with a service guy..unless he's an online chainsawer..
The local dealer gave a 620 to the biggest logging outfit in town to tryout. The crew supervisor said no one would pick it up for about a week. A few weeks later they bought 16We have 2 great echo dealers here, couple hundred bucks x 20-30 saws adds up.
