When was the last time you saw an 090 wearing a 20" bar?

Guy wants more than a couple beans for it too.

Yikes! Kinda like a 6' eagle with a 6" wingspan!! Thats a TAD salty for a non-AV 090.....even with the 40" bar that comes with it!

That would be a plunge feller LEE Style.......Look at stihl recommend bar length for an 880. Its a 21'incher!

Hey, at least he's running full comp chain on it

Maybe west coast style it up a bit and roll with the skipper!

And then some - isn't .404 processor chain?

Maybe while you're on a roll, throw one of these 16 tooth rims on da' sumbich, too!

Like using a 20lb sledge to swat a mosquito

That looks stooopid. I'll bet she's a tad bit tail heavy too. I'd give him $ 700.00 or $ 800.00 for the thing though. A C

Harvester chain is usually 3/4" IIRC.

The guy's ad states that he is beginning to cut down on the amount and weight of the saws he uses. No kidding. Give that guy a new MS260 in trade.

1200$ is ridiculous.

Thats an aveerage price for one. If it says av on it a little more.

Wow, for a super old saw like that? It looks to be decades old. If the market supports that price then that's not so silly.

137cc/8.36 cubic inch/13(!) HP & around 30 lbs powerhead weight.

Stihl's most powerful 'modern' saw (1968ish-84) and the most powerful 1 man saw ever made.
For comparison the legendary Disston DA -211 from the early 50's was a twin cylinder 2 man saw with 180cc/10.99 cubic inch engine,only 9HP & it weighed 55 lbs.

Still can't buy a bigger or more powerful one. 090 is a bigger engine than an MS880.

137 cc Very impressive. This coming from a guy that has been pitched from a 125cc motorcycle.

Juat search ebay for stihl chainsaw and sort by highest price first - all the 090's will be on the first page. The occasional 880hot saw or 660 racer will be up there as well.
I could've sworn I read somewhere they still make it but hasn't been imported to the US for sometime.

I was window shopping the other day and came across an MS200T for $1200! when the newer version 201T is ~600 brand new.
