[QUOTE="rozett, post: 509808, member: 9532"] I'd go with a new Stihl 290. I've owned an 029 for about five years and run an 18" bar. It has been 100% reliable. Iv'e cut about 150 cords of mixed hardwoods in the last three years and all I've had to replace was one broken sprocket. Every time I turn the bar over, I take my air line and blow out all the oily sawdust and blow out the filter. But as it's been said already, the Stihl is on the heavy side. It's a perfect saw for working on a pile of logs, but not a bucking saw. I keep an old Mac 320 around for doing bucking work. [/QUOTE]
