I put my DP cover on right away and adjusted the carb accordingly. I noticed it really picked up between 10 and 15 tanks of gas. Very good saw, I can't find anything to complain about.

I want one of these but I don't have any trees large enough to put it to real use. But I'll probably get on anyway and run a 25" bar on it.

I finished up a section this morning that was mostly red and chesnut with some maple. Some of the reds in there where monsters, 50 + inches on the stump. Not much fun and too much work with a 440/20 inch bar. I think we are running the only yarder in Virginia right now! My mexican buddy and his few day old 440 and i could dog in to 20 inch chesnut oak at the same time and while mine was letting go, he would just be starting his back cut. I also love the stihl feel but larger, fatter rear handle, bigger handle bar demsions, its just wonderfull. carrying 2 extra lbs to the top is no big deal when falling takes 1/3 the effort and 1/2 the time. It runs strong with new fullcomp .045 on the rakers on the 25 inch and im guessing that its gonna get stronger after a nother 2 gallons or so. I am gonna put an 8 pin on it tomorrow.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

For sure. Seem to remeber mine was rather unimpressive to begin with, but got better quickly. Have an 8 tooth for mine too, but haven't used it yet. I think I'll get to use it Monday though.

I new youd like it they have a lot of power i always run a 8 tooth sproket on my 660s . I ran 5 gallons of gas trough mine today finally got to cut all day. Did you geta dp cover yet you wont regret it if you do.

 

[056kid]

[Boogieman142]

i noticed that the exaust port in the muffler is that of my 440 plus s small slit in front of it. seems rite small for 90 ccs. An old 046 has 3 times the muffler. What are they thinking?

My 660 is slowly but surely waking up. I'm gonna mod the muffler soon. But my modded 066 is one impressive saw. A DP is a must, or a muffler mod..........:greenchainsaw:

Is your 440 modded? 440's really wake up after a good muffler mod.:greenchainsaw:

For the first time in awhile I look at my 066 with a 36 inch as puny and way undersized.


Dead White Oak 80+ DBH.

The wood from this tree is so big that we are splitting onsite because we cannot move it. Today I was just loading up firewood so I brought the puppy with us. Good times.

 

[056kid]

my 440 has a Dp cover from an old 046, which runs (it feels like) with that 660 right now. But its like a drag ported 250r and the 660 a woods ported 310r Im hoping that the 660 will wake up and scream sooner or later. I just have to enable it to.
I ran it all day today, still being kind of easy on it.
