Thanks everyone for the help. I have decided to go with the 461!
If you are considering getting it ported get the 460 or 461. They respond great to mods and will out cut a stock 660. If you want something with power real close to a 660 with 460 weight then get a 390xp/2188otstir:.
:help:
441 mtronic is a better choice than 461 IMO- with the 441 mtron you get auto tone and spring AV mounts with the 461 you get neither... and scarificing a couple of ccs is well worth the above benefits. Easier on you and better production
how come when i research the 461 not much comes up about it and the Stihl website doesn't list it??? is it available in CA?
Stihl has recently updated their website within the last few days and the 461 is in there. with the same spec as the 460. and as for other brands of saws I'm a Stihl man and just about every logging outfit runs Stihls up here so parts and dealers are every where! and yes i would love to some day own a 660 461 & a 261 for crawling around in the slash piles!
@ Locust cutter, we have(had) a 660 and an 880. We were so impressed with the 660 I thought the 880 would be off the charts. Either we got a lemon or something is off, but the 660 outperforms the 880 with a 36 in bar. We have had it in several times and the dealer just says bad fuel...same fuel we run in all the saws. This week my crew ran over the 660 and destroyed pretty much everything but the engine. Anyone have recommendations for a good aftermarket parts source?
The classifieds here can be handy, otherwise it's about a wash price-wise between the dealer and fee-bay... I know there's a saw parts place online I think in the advertising dashboard above,... Northwood or Chainsawr?
I've heard a lot of people have the same remarks about the 880. What I wonder (as I've only run one and it was a Snellerized version) is how many of the people who aren't impressed, are running 3/8" chain? To reach it's full potential it needs .404 and on a short bar, 32" or less, I'd be filing the rakers a bit and running 1-2 pins higher. Either way, running the Snellerized version, opened my eyes, and that's the only benchmark I have. The 084's are fun as well. My 660 cut a decent amount of wood, and was decently fast, but it just seemed to tap out earlier than I thought it should have,...:bang:
