    MS 260 pro or 290 FB?

    My 028 needs a friend and It's getting tired. Plus my two sons age 13 & 16 want to join me in the wood cutting biz. So I figure it's a great oppurtunity to do some saw shopping. p.s. I am gonna overhaul my 028. But a new saw in the aresenal is always a plus.

    MS 260 pro or 290 FB?

    O.K. Guys, I can't make up my mind for a purchase. I reallize the 260 is a profesional grade saw, and i'd be confident it would last for many wood cuttings.

    028 WB replacement

    I pondered the thought of a new piston and cylinder kit. But didn't know where to purchase a good replacement. Is this something a dealership could find for me? Or could I purchase the parts and have the dealer install? Also, is there anything else I should consider replaceing since it's apart?

    Anyone from Wisconisin in here??

    Yep, Keep your current equipment As the rest of the "Sconny" loggers mentioned. Keep your stuff, and just get shorter bars. We have allot of water in northwestern Wisconsin. You could use your longer bars for a canoe paddle to get yourself to some decent cutting, then just change them out when...
