It will pull it, just can't put it in any wood.

Sweet! Now that’s a mod challenge if I have ever seen one. What would it take to get a 290 to pull that??
If I were using a 290 for the same cutting that you are doing, I would either dress it with a 20" Stihl bar and .325 RMC (semi chisel) chain, or an 18" Stihl bar with a 3/8 RMC chain. If your wood is mostly very clean (no dirt) then I would probably get the RSC (full chisel) chain. It will cut a little faster than the RMC but will dull quicker in dirty wood.
The green label stuff is all junk compared to the yellow. If you know how to handle a saw, you will not notice anything different with kickback.
I would look at the Sugihara bars on ebay. They're pretty cheap and are well made Japanese steel bars. A little lighter than some others too. Any Oregon or Stihl bar you can afford will be fine for you though.
