New bar & blade on MS290

[nikdfish]

I had forgotten how well the MS290 could cut. Finally picked up a new bar and chain (oregon 20" set) to replace a much sharpened chain and 18" bar that was looking kind of blue around the edges (good oiling but still getting hot during a long cut).

Did a quick honeydew job on a 5" cedar after installation and the phrase "hot knife through butter" came to mind...

I understand the MS290. When I had a 42" elm to remove the MS290 and 18" bar did not hesitate. I have cut over 100 trees with it and still starts right up and cuts everything I through at it.
