    Went out this morning cut a little wood temp about 59 degrees, slightly cloudy, perfect cutting weather. All Doug fir IMG_1006.jpeg IMG_1005.jpeg IMG_1010.jpeg IMG_1009.jpeg the echo 590 performed very well, a little heavier than the 261 Stihl, but it cuts well!

    Some nice Goldilocks wood there! The older i get the more i like it.

    Is it harder to find smaller diameter DF than the usual large rounds i see posted here?
