Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and I am not a professional arborist. I've used a Craftsman Chainsaw for the last couple of years and I am ready for an upgrade. I am trying to decide between Echo CS-590 and Husqvarna 460. Putting brand loyalty aside is one chainsaw really significantly better than the other? I just bought a small property and have to clear about a dozen 40ft trees. Once that's done, I'll probably just use the saw a few times a year to cut firewood or do storm clean up. I can get an Echo CS-590 at Home Depot for $370 and I can get a Husqvarna 460 at Lowes for $470. Is the Husqvarna really worth the extra $100?
I tried doing a search on this topic and didn't find any information.
Thank you for your advice in advance.
