I ve seen a write up about these saws are they any good ? My logging partner runs a 290 and is interested in updating his saw . I know they are not the same grade of saw that you professional guys use so what are peoples views ? Thanks

 

Not had the pleasure . What did the write up say ?

Obviously not a long term test but really rating it .It was in a farm machinery mag. Quote its the ideal saw to have around on the farm,especially as it didn't once grunt at being asked to cut through a 24 " wide tree truck . Its light enough to use all day, while offering the versatility to be the only saw in the farmers shed .Its a good ,straightforward chainsaw . Strong and robust. unquote . They are the closing remarks.

Hi

 

AFAIK - slightly lighter & better AV than the 290.

 

The engine is a strato, perhaps a smidge more power - as for reliability time will tell, hopefully its a good update.

Yes spend a bit more and buy from the pro-range, the 270/290 are heavy for what they are, this put me off a lot when looking at buying a couple of yrs back. A few more quid would see you into the pro range, less weight, better AV etc.
