SURPRISING RESULT! Echo CS-590 vs Husqvarna 455 Rancher

Testing a new chain on the Husqvarna 455 Rancher (55cc chainsaw) vs the Echo CS-590 (60cc chainsaw) brought a very close result. Previously I was using the Oregon Advancecut chain, which is a homeowner low-kickback chain. Despite my best efforts sharpening that chain, it didn't come close to the cutting power and speed of the pro series, Oregon Powercut chains that are running on both the Echo and Husqvarna chainsaws.

I use my chainsaws for felling trees, though I don't tackle enormous trees on my property, and I also cut firewood. I feel these 55-60cc chainsaws are just the right size for my needs. I was definitely surprised to see how close the 455 Rancher and Echo 590 were once the 455 Rancher has the same kind of chain. I thought the Echo would be considerably faster, but that was not the case.
