Mastermind Meets The MS661 Again

[Mastermind]

Three on the bench, and two more in route......yes the MS661C is a hot saw these days.



I started tearing one of these saws down.....taking pictures. Then I thought.....hell man, you've done this a couple of times already.

So I'll just let you fellers look over the pics in these two threads.

What I will tell you is this.......I'll be keeping one of these saws stock for a little while. That way I have one to compare to. The other two will be going under the knife.

Now, I gotta get some machine work done.......then I'll post a few pics of what I'm doing.

Love, Peace, And Bacon Grease.

Just remember, once you run a ported saw, you'll never be able to run a stock saw again.

If you want to set up an appointment, just start a conversation. You better do it soon, he's very backed up...

I don't think I'll change anything. I've been very happy with the gains I've gotten on this model.

do you guys seriously have manual falling work still? heck it seems more and more of the land here is being done by machine. they got that new spider buncher thing here now. climbs some crazy grades and is taking down some massive wood. amazing there is still manual falling back east.

Not everybody has the bucks to buy the latest fad in feller bunchers.

Here in Tennessee we's too poor to buy a new truck.......let alone some fancy equipments.

Good friend of mine has a cutter 425 timbco. There great but a lot of the steeper junk still hjnting as to be hand cut and like he said I can't justify the payment for the hours i wouldn't put on it.

ls the 661 engine a quad port design? Do you think stihl has made a runner with this one as the ms660 was a bit of a let down to those upgrading from an 066.

 

[Mastermind]

Yep, quad ported.....

Think of as a big MS461.

Sooo... I wonder how the 661 compares to a 390xp?

during the first bit of my falling course there most were running 390's. the 660's just looked ****'n sad and all were stock. the 661 has to be alot better to compete with a 390. my 385 seemed to smoke them all though

Click on the word Mastermind under the chimp. That will open a page where it says "start a conversation" click that, and you can have a private chat with Randy.
