Do you guys think it is worth the money or new ms 660

 

[blsnelling]

That guy's full of it. There's very little difference in that saw and a brand new MS660. Matter of fact, many of the parts are interchangeable. As far as I know, there 0% more plastic on a new one.

Thats a good looking 066, but I can get a new one here with warranty for 999.00 Thats horse manure.

 

[BC_Logger]

the only difference i know of between the 066 and the 660 is that the zero changed sides

 

[OLY-JIM]

Not worth it! I can buy a new 660 (R) for less than what he's asking. Maybe that's what he wants to do as well...if he can find a sucker?

 

[Bowtie]

I asked him a question about that there saw, lets see if he posts it...:hmm3grin2orange:

That same guy had that saw up a few weeks ago for $1350 buy it now. I sent him a message and told him he was crazy.

If you're set on new, buy a new one. A nice pre-owned 660 can be had for 600-800 if you shop around. I got a sweet deal on mine and have less than $800 in it WITH the factory dual port cover

 

[Bowtie]

Do you realize that anyone can go buy a new 066/660 for cheaper than that and get a warranty? Also, you are lying about the power and specs between the 066 and 660. Post this or I will report you in 1 hour.

I asked him that question...am I a bad man?

I think you got it right - BS factor is very high.....:censored:

 

[Bowtie]

Now, do you think he will post it?

 

[litefoot]

You gotta admit that is one nice-looking 066, though, box and everything. Wonder where he found it?

I don't know how Stihl rates the power of a 660 vs. 066, but there has been a decrease in compression and a more restrictive muffler. So the real power of a stock 660 is less than some models of 066.

 

[Trigger-Time]

Really, New saws are better........poly fly wheel and heaver crank shaft.

thanks to everyone who replied i wont be buying this

Exactly, how many of you have actually ran an old style 066. They have more ump, the compression ratio in the cylinders is higher for one, no baffles, bigger exhaust ports, fixed jets in the carb.

I have run tons of both, still have some old style 066s and stock they smoke a 660.

I havent...but I want to

 

[Trigger-Time]

I have an 066 and 660.

A builder who's name I'm not supposed to mention said that the 066 ports better than the newer 660s do.
