Deets066
Firewood hack
I need to get my 076 super fixed up, would I use it much? Probly not, but they are a cool old saw.
I never said it would. Especially in smaller wood.Key word "Near".
066 = 13,000. 076 = 9000.
I own both saws and there's no way the 076 will out cut the 066. Keep in mind the 076 is less than 10cc's larger with the same horsepower and slower chain speed.
Ok thank uProbably only by asking Stihl using the serial number...
Great post. Now go back to your mom's basement.Most guys on this website sound like a bunch of pussies that think their 12oz light weight saws are bad ass. My 075 will run circles around your baby 066 saw. Most girls on this website can't handle running big saws. Bunch of posers hanging at the saw shop. Shut the hell up and get to the woods or go back to painting your nails.
I'm sorry, which candy azz saw would you be referring to exactly?A good competition here would be me and my 075 working circles around you and your candy ass saw bub.
Your mom's bed. Yes I am . She said go do your homework.
An 076 Super is very similar to the 075 and is nothing to sneeze at.
Hi Ted, yes, I only commented as there's not much discussion on the old bangers & I am looking at buying an 076 in very good nic & it is significantly cheaper than the 066 & above of course. I recently cut up 2 fallen trees. One was around 2 months on the ground & 32" circumference. Yellow Gum. Hard as hell! My poor ol J'Red 2050 had to do several 16" cuts each side & got so hot was burning my hand (not literally but Bloody hot) Anyway, This 076 has a new 30" Bar & as Chain Sharpening is part of my work for Arborists & Tree Loppers as well as tge public, it was only the sharp chains that kept it going but, don't want a repeat of the punishment on saw. Also, most of the 066 & 088's have been well used, even @ $1000- $1300 2nd hand. We pay through our noses down here & lumber can spark off sharp chains if it's not green woodThis thread is nearly as old as I. I still like the 076 a little better for just cutting logs. The chain speed is slower and stays sharp longer. It Stihl has plenty of grunt and is easy to work on. The 066 when tuned well might have a slight more pop, but is lighter and easy to handle. Thanks
Great info for all & Stihl is pretty plentiful here due to advertisement. The Husky's are priced way out of reach down here. Jonsered is my go to for 2nd hand stuff as I only cut wood fairly occasionally these days but need good saws when I do.The 066 is a nice dependable saw from bars 36” and shorter.
The 076 is a heavy saw for cutting slowly using bars 36” to 50”, shorter than 36” use the 066. Two good things about the 1111 series Stihl, they are bar oiling machines and there are a ton of them out there, which equals parts. Probably the easiest and cheapest 100+cc saw to source parts for. If only my Mccullochs and Homelites had the parts availability and pricing of the 1111 series Stihls.
Want the best of both of those saws plus better antivibe and air filtration, get a Husqvarna 395.

Much appreciated info Justsaws, cheers againIf you are buying a 076 or any 1111 series Stihl, be aware of the air filter, lots of them have fairly dusted pistons and cylinders because of worn out air filters and bad maintenance. Also check the clutch over, there are different types out there but a worn out one is the most common. The decomp valve is a different size than most saws and can leak or stick due to age/use, pricey to replace compared the more common size. The 1111 series are a good bit more involved to tear down and rebuild than a 066(1122) however still a fairly simple machine.
Last time I purchased OEM pistons they were around $70.00 each, they supposedly went up in price.
