The Stihl 090: The World's Most Powerful Chainsaw

Just firing up the old Stihl 090 for a quick cut. Why would I use the 090 for one single cut? Why not? It's a fun and very powerful saw to run. Sometimes after a tough day at the shop, the sound and feel of the lower rpm and high torque is just the ticket. And let's face it, a 30 lb saw in your hands makes you feel like a real man.

The Stihl 090 is a legendary chainsaw heralded as “the world’s most powerful chainsaw.” Mine was made in Germany around 1976. It’s a Stihl 090av (anti vib) 137cc and is running on 100LL (aviation 100 octane low lead fuel) with Stihl ultra oil at a 40 to 1 mix. It has 404 chain .063 full chisel round file. (Stihl 46RS) on a 36 inch Duromatic bar (large mount.)

Note: The use of this type of saw should be used with great caution due to the lack of safety features and the fact that it produces extreme quantities of testosterone and endorphins. You should always wear proper safety gear whenever using your saw.

Although demonstrated on a Stihl brand saw fans of Echo, Husqvarna, Craftsman, Worx, Rigid, Black & Decker, Poulan, Remington, Ryobi, Makita, Oregon and Homelite chainsaws can also appreciate the sweet, sweet sound of the world’s most powerful chainsaw.
