Hey Folks,
I have an MS250 and like it real well but always have the urge to get something bigger. I want to buy the last saw I'll ever need. No great big stuff (max 12 inch) and conditions would be mostly cutting delivered wood or trees that are already cut and laying by the right of way.
Thought about a 270 wood boss but it costs more than the 290 and I don't know enough to make a smart comparison.
Will the MS 290 take care of me and be reliable or should I look at something else?
Stihl is real expensive over here (MS 290 costs right at $1000) so I'll have my buddy pick up one and mail it to me after I get enough advice to decide.
Thanks, Dave
