My Husqvarna 353 will out cut a MS291 and its also a mid grade saw. The rated HP is slightly lower, but it weighs 2 pounds less. Regardless of the rated power it out cuts the 3 MS291s that family members have.

Every time I have cut side by side with a Husky I have outcut them. I don't think it proves anything because I used to cut professionally. Husky and Stihl are both good brands. Both have weak and strong spots in their lineup.

Very true. Also, you bring up a good point. A farm boss,, or a wild thing for that matter, with a sharp chain will beat the biggest, most expensive saw on the market if it's got a dull chain. Understanding what makes a sharp chain, and learning how to create one is the absolute most important part of a fast cutting chainsaw.

IMO, the 029, MS290, MS291 has always been a turd in the stihl lineup. And always their most popular saw too:confused2: Never understood that.

Some people just want a reliable saw. I've never ran one but unless someone is cheap, super cheap they can get a quality made saw. Maybe not the best performer but people must like it if it sells.

Mr. See owned a saw. And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw. Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw before Soar saw See, which made Soar sore. Had Soar seen See's saw before See sawed Soar's seesaw, See's saw would not have sawed Soar's seesaw. So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw. But it was sad to see Soar so sore just because See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw!

What brand was See's saw?

I'm not sure you can get a new 550Xp for $500...

A few weeks ago, I was at a sawmill/firewood EXPO, and there were a few venders there selling 550xp's for $500.00...

Anyway, here's what I bought a while back, and I love it!

Switching it over to 3/8's chain, made a real saw out of it! lol
