MS291 any good?

Recommended Posts

I have a MS181 for cutting wood for my log burner, it struggles sometimes with hardwoods, the bar is only 14".

 

The local stihl/ farm dealer has 3 saws in stock, they will do me a MS291 with a 18" bar for a price cheaper than I have seen anywhere, even the big 'online sellers' and the store is 500 yards from my front door.

 

Anyone got one?

We have ms290's at work, one on 15" semi chisel and one on 18" chisel, the 15 cuts much better on semi than it did on full chisel, I would recommend 15" semi chisel for what you want

Thanks Albe and everyone else. Picked the saw up on Saturday, looking forward to getting stuck into cutting next years logs this week, only pain being I need to wait till the harvest is in as the only access to the wood where in taking logs from this year is over fields.
