I am running a Stihl 661 on a 36" Alaskan Mill right now, I want to get a bigger bar but I`m not sure how big I can run with 91cc`s. Whats the biggest you guys use on a comparable saw?
Yes I am running a 36" bar right now but now that my warranty is up I am moving to a 42 inch bar for the 36 inch mill and possibly bigger. Where in Delaware are you?I also run a 42" (Cannon) on my 660 with skip chain and aux oiler with no problems. I run the 42" bar to get the max out of my 36" Alaskan mill.
I see in your post you run a 36" mill, are you running a 36" bar also? If so I'd recommend you get the 42" bar to max out your 36" mill's cutting width. Also I'd recommend the aux oiler for this size.
The 42" bar is about as big as I would go on a 660. You start to run into a problem with larger bars fitting your 660, and I'm not sure if I want bigger. It wasn't a problem finding a 42" Cannon to fit my 660.
I think a skip chain helps, but then you run into the issue of needing to sharpen it more often.
I'm located in Middletown DE, is that near you?Yes I am running a 36" bar right now but now that my warranty is up I am moving to a 42 inch bar for the 36 inch mill and possibly bigger. Where in Delaware are you?

I know Granberg makes a bolt-on oiler. Others have made their own with simple parts.I run our 661 with a 36” bar and rip chain but youll slow down a bit in a 28” wide oak which maxes out the mill. I wanna know how you are rigging up the aux oiler??? We have been just giving it a little pour on the bar end but man it makes a mess and its hard to pour it just right.
Look in the Milling 101 Sticky - lots of ideas there.I wanna know how you are rigging up the aux oiler??? We have been just giving it a little pour on the bar end but man it makes a mess and its hard to pour it just right.
