Since you know Huskys I would compare the Stihl 290 to a Husqvarna 455 Rancher.   Both are clamshell engines. 

YES, I gotcha now.....didn't realize it was the clamshell, you all refer to.......thx


I think I'll just hold out till the funds come a little better. I really need to pick up something that will handle a 24" bar w/o being under powered.

Look for something of a minimum of 60cc or bigger for a 24" bar.

I run a buddy's husky 460 w/a 24". I had it sharp, had to hold it back ......It was underpowered, IMO.......I'll be wanting to get near or into the 70cc class.
