lol I am sure most here dont....It is what it is. And if he doing firewood and going to make it? the bottle necks the splitter not the saw(good splitter 1000.00 and up). I may not like it but sure I could keep 2 guys buzy with a 290. With that said a 460, I will be on the splitter crew very fast. The Option the OP is a 260 or 290 ok what gives its a pro saw but not much faster. If it where me and its not I would be looking at a "441/460" "husky 372" or "dolmar 7900" and trying to find a 100+cc saw.
The little guy who can make it with a 290 or 260 and a maul is one bad mofo!
im just saying i don't like them i love the 270 they are a awesome saw 290 is what it is like you said. good for a small timer not a major cutter
