Fella's; Bought the Stihl MS290 Farm Boss today. Got it & the accessory package for just shy of $380.00. Best deal in the area. I cut a coupla small logs in the backyard just now. It doesn't seem to cut all that quicker or easier than the Mac. But maybe the Mac cut good 'cause it was SO HEAVY!! The Stihl's got to be about 1/2 the weight. 900F |

I think they come with the anti kick back chain. May cut faster with a more aggressive chain.

Give the rakers an extra swipe with a flat file...just a bit...works for me. Not too much filing though.

Be careful what you decide to not like. Your wife may wear one. Your son may ride one. Your daughter may bring one home. You may have to have one someday. |

Rob; Yeah, your right, it came with the anti-kickback chain. No such thing on the Mac of course. But, it doesn't cut any worse, & it's so light! I'll probably just let it ride. After all it's running about 5000 RPM faster than the Mac. 900F |

Sounds like a winner CB. Now, the one rule of chainsaw operating is, never loan it unless you go with it. Keep in mind the old motorcycle addage that says, no one but the owner could ever start a Triumph. Remember those cranky bastards??..........Kingpin

There are times when a normal man must, spit in his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

CB, I put a steel chain without the rakers on my Poulan and it cut
twice as good, really tears the hell out of logs, but eats up power
fast too if you let it.

Stupid people are like a slinky, they don't serve much purpose in the world but they sure are fun to watch tumble down the stairs! |
