Pros: Easy to use controls, dependable starting and plenty of power. Cons: Would prefer a slightly heavier duty chain. Have to sharpen regularly.

It really wasn't until I started the research for this opinion that I was sure I made a good choice. I discovered that Andreas Stihl, the father of chainsaws, made the first saw of this type in 1926 in Germany. Since then his company has continued to...
Pros: Power, price, reliability Cons: weight,power concerns versus pro saws.
I sold Stihl equipment for 10 years and still service Stihl equipment on a regular basis, so this reveiw cover more than just looks and price. The 029 was introduced in 1991 as a mid size farm/casual user saw, and quickly became a big seller. The saw ...
Pros: Reliable, powerful, best chainsaw I have ever owned or used. Case is nice too. Cons: Slightly heavy - just takes a while to get used to.
This chainsaw is great. I have used other saws (Poulan, Craftsman, Homelite, McCullough) and have never owned or used a saw that was more reliable or more powerful than this saw. It starts on the first or second pull every time. Everything is easy to...
Pros: Cuts wood like a hot knife through butter! Cons: Only 5 year service life.
I had my Stihl MS290 Farm Boss (similar to the Stihl 029) for five trouble free years, then everything went bad at once. I bought the Farm Boss based on comments on misc.rural. The saw was much easier to start than the "Eager Beaver" it replaced. A ...
Pros: light weight, well balanced, reliable Cons: no one else to run it
This saw is a woodlot master. The process of tree identification, cutting,hauling, storing and loading into your heating unit is hard work. Each year a forester takes a 10 acre plot and identifies those trees that are diseased, over mature or crowded...
Pros: Power and versatility Cons: A little heavy, but not bad.
I've used the Stihl 029 for about 4 years now. I used it extensively, clearing land, cutting firewood, and even cutting 4x4 posts in some construction. It is a really versatile chain saw.

Pros: Powerful, dependable, durable, great design Cons: Heavy. Stay away from the "low kickback" chains
There is no question that this is a great saw. I've had mine for three years and cut a lot of wood and it looks and runs like new. A mccullough or poulan would have been ready for the city dump by now. Before you buy this saw though, consider it's...

Pros: Great mid size saw Cons: You don't want to cut a bunch of really big trees with this saw
I'm a home builder in Kentucky and do my own land clearing. I've used the 029 super for three years now and it has never been to the shop once. I own a larger Husky for when I have to tackle some real big trees but 90% of the time I use the 029. ...
