ECHO 24 in. 59.8 cc Gas 2-Stroke Rear Handle Timber Wolf Chainsaw CS-590-24

I haven’t had time to use, but it looks great.

I like others purchased it, assembled it and tried to crank it. My advise is skip cranking it. Instead, take it to an Echo dealer. Ask them to show you how to crank it. I apparently flooded it. The local dealer cleared it and showed me how to crank it. Thanks to Dave's Lawnmower in Lake Hamilton. It runs like a dream. It's lighter than a Husqvarna or Stihl. In about twenty minutes an 18 foot hickory was cut in sections. I bought this beast because of the quality of my CS400. A crank thru is best advised. Also, tighten the chain to tight. It stretches when cutting. I apparently did not submit my review. So, since then, I have cut up a 20 foot section from a 60 plus foot hickory tree. It rocked it. Towards the end of the day, I had to remove the chain in order to clean the bar. A tooth brush later, I replaced it and off to the races again. This saw is lighter than the Husqvarna 460 with 24". It is a little nose heavy. But, it handles very well. And, it doesn't vibrate too much or make my hands itch from vibration.

This chainsaw would not start, I have read another buyer said the same thing, but I thought this was a 1 time problem maybe, I mixed the right mixture of fuel and oil 50:1 and the chainsaw would not crank at all followed the instructions to the T, I have another craftsman from lowes smaller but since I bought it it starts each time without any issues, so I have contacted the seller to get this replaced or refunded I will let you know the outcome of this purchase.Took it to a dealer he said these have issues because it does not have a primer bulb it will flood each time, brought it back home and again the same issue, it will not start again I did the same things that the dealer did in front of me, no luck this is the worst chainsaw you can buy and the seller will not accept a return nor refund my money I'm taking this with amazon and with my bank. horrible experience

Chances are, if you're thinking about buying a "24 inch chain saw, you either know what you're doing, or you're going to discover you do not. The Echo CS-590-24 59.8cc 24" Rear Handle Timber Wolf Chainsaw is the real deal. You're going to cut down good sized trees, and move what a hurricane left you, or you're going to be cutting a lot of firewood. But for most job, you need something much smaller, and if so, keep moving on. It's cold blooded, you might have a little trouble getting it started but once you do, nothing stands in its way. Hard working, long running, easy to handle, and steady. The hurricane left me with a yard full of downed tress and the Timberwolf is my only friend. Use safety glass, chaps, heavy gloves, and wear boots. This is a serious tool and you must, I repeat must, respect it as such. I have a giant live oak that went down, and this is day three of removal. This saw is everything I need.

Great saw. Great seller. Saw arrived sooner than expected and the seller even checked in to see if I was happy.You can't beat the Timberwolf. Known simply as ECHO's workhorse. Same engine as the 620P but this saw is rev limited. Good part is you can mod this saw if you happen to be a tinker-er and want to achieve 620P specs without spending the extra $250-$300 to buy the 620P.Im using this saw with the 24" bar and 18" bar. I also have the 620P but with a 30" bar.

sometimes some of your parts may come later, than 1st del..

Removed new saw from box. Installed bar/chain. "Took out spark plug dropped a lil oil in cylinder." This is key to starting new Echo! Reinstalled plug. Took off air filter an fitted an oring between saw and filter. Reinstalled.Filled tank with premix saw fuel. Filled with bar oil. Flipped switch on. Pushed in compression button. Pulled choke out. Pulled new saw 3x. Initial start up cough. Pulled trigger, choke went in. Pulled saw 2x and it fired right up! Let warm up for 3-5 min. then wrapped throttle! Ready to cut some wood!!

Very hard to start. Almost impossible. Floods very easily. Make sure to use the absolute correct gas oil mixture.
