Yeah, that's $10 off. I paid the retail price but got free shipping through Amazon so it was a few $ less than your link. I found one other place with the same deal you posted but shipping was like $18 so your link was better than that one. It would be too late anyway, mine should be here tomorrow or Monday. Thanks for letting me know though.

Well, you need a new engine and a new (non-cat) muffler to justify the weight of that saw.....:msp_rolleyes:
Wisemen Trading has got free shipping on all their Gransfors Bruks Axes and Splitting Mauls. It's in red letters in the upper left portion of the page.

I stay with Fiskars, they have served me very well for a long time!
We may be a bit off topic though....
Troll, you need a 560XP to fight those polar bears off up there in the artic circle. I was watching the news last week and saw where a teen age boy was killed in Norway on a camping trip by a polar bear.

MS290 or 560/562XP? :hmm3grin2orange:

That incident was on the Svalbard islands, and not on the mainland Norway.
- but I still am well North of the polar circle, not "in" it!
The bears we got here (on the mainland) are "brown" ones, and they actually do some damage on sheep herds in particular, and also mess up the moose hunt for some, by scaring the moose out of their area.

The MS290 is just a bad joke that went wrong......

A lot of of my fiskars stuff has served well but the hatchet edge chipped the second time I used it. Not too big of a deal but a good excuse to get the Granfors with the longer handle.
Jimmy, missed that text. I added it to the cart and it said $12 shipping and wad added to the total.

I have only used the two largest splitting axes, the smaller ones never interested me. :msp_smile:

My brother asked our local dealer for Stihl's best, they sold him a 290...
Not a real bad saw, but far from the best. Best for the dealer, eh...

Old news, and we don't know anything about the cutting attachments etc.......

OK. I didnt know if it had been seen here before or not. At any rate, i wouldnt imagine the Stihl being purposely put at a disadvantage. The 560 seems very impressive IMO.

Surely the 560 impresses in that comparison. but we don't know anything about the background of it......

True Niko. ......I was in Charlotte yesterday. I was tempted to go by Husqvarna. Kinda wished I had now. I dont rightly know what that would have accomplished lol, but it would have been fun to see.....
