Mastermind Meets The MS661 C-M

[HuskStihl]

It was just 5 - 6 feet long then got hit in the crotch.

Seems to be a lot of that going around recently

 

[HuskStihl]

So........What's it like compared to the Ex Peeee?

I'm done with this saw. It's in a box and leaving in the morning. I'm very happy with the way it runs now.

Congratulations Randy, on successfully bringing out the beast from within the 661!

And quite likely the first person to do so.

That's hand filed round ground chain BTW.......I didn't have time to set it up with a square chain.

Well played, sir.

Now that you've figured it out, can you give us a few comments on what ya like about it, what ya dont like, how it compares to the 390xp, 395xp (this is important bc size-wise it falls in between these 2 and could be a venerable compromise between the two)

baiscally a summation of the thread....... so I dont have to reread 60 pages.opcorn:

 

[Mastermind]

I only put a couple of tanks thru it, so I'm hardly an expert. It's a nice saw, spring AV, plenty of power, M-Tronic......

Sounds like she's holding RPMs in the wood real nice there Randy. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as well. How's it compare to the 660 and 395? I know...hard questions to answer, when you don't have them long.

 

[mdavlee]

Sounds better.

 

[Mastermind]

I've never been a fan of the 660. It's too fat, and too slow. The 395XP is too damn heavy. I think Stihl hit a home run here.

Those rakers are at .040 and it's wearing an 8 pin.

In other words, I need one?

 

[whitedogone]

Is that a 24 or 28 on it?

 

[HuskStihl]

What kind of coinage is required to own a ported 661?

 

[HuskStihl]

The 394/395 are monsterbeasts. I'd like to see how that does against a well ported 385/390
Wrong bout the bar
