Nice mid sized chainsaw! Stihl"s MS290 FB; 56cc saw with adjustable automatic oiler.
This one has a reconditioned bar from Redding's own "Bar-Reconner" that looks great! It's a sprocket tipped Rollomatic E bar and Stihl chain. Nice!
This saw usually starts first pull- unless Brian hits the kill switch!

  • Yep, the 455 is probably better than the 290- but there are pro and cons to everything... Ole Brian like the 'kewl shoes' and it's the first Stihl he ever picked up!

  • without a doubt, I have a 028 that has not been 'redone' and it eats this 029 all day long. Not even a comparison is ya ask me.

  • It was a nice lil saw- I sold it a few weeks ago. I liked it and it was easy to start. Making room for newer ones. Thanks,

  • Lovely white sneakers-I see a trip to A & E, NOT ONE ITEM OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT-SORRY PAL-YOUR NOT SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE-ARE YOU ???

  • How about at least wearing gloves and goggles as a bare minimum for safety?

  • tighten your chain bud

  • I've got a farm boss, I wish I got the 455 Rancher by Husky.

  • dam.........sharpen that chain lol! and let it warm up for about a min before you start to acually cut if its a cold start and it has not been used in a while 

  • ive been using this saw nonstop. Im here in new england and this thing is my baby..chain was dull and i used a tiny echo piece of junk for a few hours until i got my replacement chain. It felt so good to go right through like butter, especially with hundreds of trees that i had to clear.

  • I've used that saw. Better off with a smaller bar, it always bogs down. My cs 400 echo kicks its lilly @ss

  • @nossful Turn the oiler up its on the bottom..

  • tighten up your chain a tad... it helps keep the grove clean and oiled you'll keep it sharper and cut str8er
