Stihl and Echo Chainsaw Review- Which is Better?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The first formal timed cutting test is performed with the Stihl Farm Boss MS 290. The log is held by an excavator, and a second person records the cutting time on a smartphone. The operator, wearing full safety gear (including chainsaw chaps, earmuffs, face shield, hard hat, and safety glasses), performs the cut. During the process, the Stihl saw can be observed bogging down slightly, indicating a temporary drop in RPMs under load. The recorded time for this cut is 1 minute and 4 seconds.

Goal: Measure the cutting speed and observe the performance of the Stihl Farm Boss under load.
