Echo vs Husqvarna

[buckeyefarmer]

After 2 months my stihl wont start. My echo is the easiest to start, by far.

I need to replace a Stihl MS290. Saw the MS291 for $450, but the Echo CS-590 at $400 seems the better deal. A Google search took me to an arborist forum where lots of really intense guys were discussing modifications and how saws were crap straight out of the box if you didn't make a bunch of adjustments.

Send that Stihl to me, I will take it off your hands :thumbsup:

After setting without gas for a year and a half my Poulan fired on the first pull. That's better than it's ever started before or since... maybe I'll let it set for another 18 months.

Send cash. It's a 290 farmboss. Over 20 yrs old, used very very little.

Well no wonder it is hard to start

4 pulls is a lot after just 2 months. After 2 months my Stihls start with 2 pulls.

After two months my Stihls are so restless they start themselves.

I have both with no mods . Sometimes around here you can get the Timberwolf a little cheaper also $ . If I had to choose one I would take the Timberwolf between those two . Also btw I also bought my MS291 to replace my MS290 . Also I"am not a pro , I don"t use my saws to make a living with .

Only real difference between the farm bosses and the pro saws is that the pro saws cylinders unbolt from the crankcase for quick top end replacement. The piston and a heap of bits are same part number. Main reason is pros will likely wear top ends out in the owners lifetime and occasional users generally wont.
