What's so great about a STIHL chain saw? Glad you asked. When you need a chain saw that's reliable and dependable, you need a STIHL!

For more than just an occasional job, these saws get the bigger jobs done right. They are perfect for cutting firewood, and have more power and features than our smaller chain saws.

Our number one selling chain saw, enough said. Designed for rugged homeowner or landscape and farm use, the legendary STIHL FARM BOSS® is a true work saw. With plenty of power to spare, you can let the MS 290 do the cutting for you— from limbing, to felling and bucking larger trees into firewood.

  • STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain. STIHL makes its own saw chain.
  • Ematic™ Bar includes a polymer ramp reservoir which holds bar oil until it can be picked up by passing chain. This can reduce oil usage by up to 50%.
  • Bumper Spikes provide better control, making cutting easier.
  • Spark Arrestor Muffler has large baffles which reduce noise level and contain a screen designed to reduce the emission of sparks.
  • STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake System is designed to stop the chain in fractions of a second. Can be manually activated or activated by inertia, if the kickback force is sufficient.
  • Front Hand Guard designed to reduce the risk of injury.
  • Front Handle is designed for a secure grip and ergonomically angled for comfort.
  • Protected Spark Plug – protected, yet easy to change.
  • Large Starting Handle is easy to grip.
  • Smooth Clean Design has no rough edges to snag on clothing or brush.
  • Air Filter Cover is easy to remove for fast and easy filter cleaning or replacement.
  • Master Control Lever™ is a single lever operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch.
  • Rear Hand Guard reduces the risk of injury, as well as providing wide area for foot placement during starting.
  • High-Tech Polymer Housings are lightweight, withstand greater impact, and are corrosion-resistant.
  • Translucent Fuel Tank allows operator to easily check fuel level before starting work.
  • Anti-Vibration System helps reduce operator fatigue.
  • Toolless Fuel and Oil Caps require no tools to open or tighten. Cap retainers help keep cap from being lost.

  • Easy-Access Carburetor Adjustment Screws let you adjust the carburetor for local cutting conditions and altitude.

  • Purge Pump Primer lets you prime the carburetor without flooding it. Standard on some models.
