Well hard work is one thing,working smart is another .

I get rather amused at times when peple intentionaly strive to think the are in the 1800's just to prove a point .The good Lord gave me a strong body be He also gave me a good mind .Guess which one wins . ;)

I agree you didn't see me put my wood boiler piping in with a shovel, I used a backhoe. It did take me from daylight to dark to get it all dug, gravel smoothed out, boiler set in place and everything hooked up.

You have not filled in where you are in Ohio. How about filling it in?

I live in Southern Ohio, in a little town called Beaver.

You came on a public forum to get advice..you get advice from knowledgeable members that is unbiased and experience based yet seem to reject it with every reason not to accept it. What Andy is saying about the 590 and other saws IS good advice. Other members are giving you good advice. There is a saying that comes to mind 'he who knows nothing but realizes it knows something, he who knows nothing but thinks he knows all....he is merely a fool'!

did I buy a 391 no I didn't. I'm looking at something different. Don't come on a public forum and give me quotes like I'm a fool. I have done a lot better than most without a college education. What's wrong with a little constructive criticism? I held no judgement against anybody who told me to buy a different saw. If you remember correctly I asked about the ms391 not the echo 590. Just because one person wants to delimb with a smaller saw and shorter bar doesn't mean I want to. In the end it's my money and I'll do what I want. If you don't like it try not to lose sleep or get butt hurt over my decisions.

:D :D Well said. I'm sure the 590 is a great saw, but lately it seems to be the answer to every saw inquiry around here. Last I checked Stihl and Husqvarna still made goods saws, and people wishing to buy them can and should. Should the person looking for a BMW buy a Toyota just because they're also a good car and less expensive? No. And to further my analogy, I drive a Toyota, so not bashing Echo! ;D

There is rarely only one right answer. All I or anyone in my position can do is offer suggestions based on experience. Everything else is up to the individual.

I agree 100% on that. I appreciated your opinion and advice on the ms391 subject. Everyone has the own opinion and are entitled to it. No matter what a person has there is always something better according to others.

I will admit, I am not up an all the Stihl changes, in regards to the differing number schemes. And with this dealer so close, and hoping they are a good resource for repair services if needed, is a good as choice as any. This said, I still believe a 460 model whichever number is attached with a 24" bar would be a good as a choice as any. Shorter bars you can pick up as needed. Still know nothing about the new carbs, so this is something to look into. I just don't need to for now. Hope you find the saw that works for you.

Oh it's a Ford /Chevy thing always will be .As long as the thing cuts wood and doesn't give you a bunch of problems why should anybody care who made it .
Reminds me of the old men who would congregate outside the general store in the little podunk town I grew up in .They sat on the "lawyer/deacons bench " and argued everything from the weather to politics.

I agree again ford chevy dodge mines better. I still see all the old men out on the liars bench as I call it. Can hardly get in there to pay for gas because of them. Then they move over to the hardware store after lunch. It's fun to listen to some of there arguments if you have the time.
