I told you long ago if I ever got a chance to play with a MS280 I would let you know how those saws are. Well I got lucky and bought one for 50.00 last week. Fried cylinder, busted manifold was the cause.

Today I put it all back together and used all Stihl parts, I'm not much on after market anything. I don't pinch pennies when it comes to my own saws. After spending 50.00 to get the saw and tossing another 214.00 for jug/piston and odds and in's I got myself a fairly new looking saw. I took it out the log pile and played with it for many cuts and I must say you are correct, the 280 feels much better than the 290, though it should comparing costs. This saw is smooth in the cut and walks right on through wood with ease. It cuts quite well indeed. That said as promised you now have some in hand feed back on the 280. Here's a few pics of my 50.00 MS280 that I tossed another 214.00 in and I think for a total of 264.00 I got a right nice saw.

Anyone have any idea how the MS280 would compare to a 61 or a 66/266 which are just over a lb. heavier?

028

how does it compare to an 028?

It is a totally new design - no connection to the 028, except the "name" and the place in the model line-up.

More ccs and power, a bit less weight.

Tom's saw is not a "C" - cool!

Troll, I see a new 280 in your future

Hey Tom, how about some pics of the old p&c, specifically the inside of the cylinder.

Here you go Buck. The body was retrived for picture purposes and is now laid to rest.

 

[THALL10326]

The open vein caused the heart failure.

 

[THALL10326]

End result, a dead body.

Wow, that sob is done
