MS661 vs 390XP

My dealer prefers to work on ported saws.

It depends on if the muffler is triple ported, and if the square files is sharpened at 40 degrees!

40 degrees ??? you are a madman !!

Madsen's says 40 - 50 degrees, the 40 being for softwood (for both inside top plate and inside side plate). I keep em both at 45, but I mostly cut hard wood.

Dolmar is a joke because they have no dealer support around here at all. And I run all mine stock. Muffler modded and retuned. I'm not going to stoop to the level of having an internet argument. Would I like ported saws yes...... Mine in the form that I run them produce 8 trailer loads of logs in 4 days every week. That's enough for me. The boss is happy. He's making money. I'm making a good living. Any more cross examination?

Yes. Buy both

I probly won't buy either.

Yes, and this is the same reason Dolmar is such a joke.

Why? What do you need a dealer for? Most dealers I've found are worthless when it comes to parts and service, and just want to sell new saws and weed wackers.

Just muffler mods for me too. The customers are happy, the boss is happy (they've kept me around for 20 years) and i get paid. I can't justify $300-$400 to get done 2 seconds faster.

What do you need a dealer for. What about when your 7 month old 661 takes an m tronic system dump? Or having a relationship with them that you run the honor system with them on payment? Having then leave parts hidden outside for after hours pick up that aren't paid for? Or maybe your saws don't break.

Parts... AND I agree most are worthless.

I left a 41" bar and a couple chains out behind the pop machine for after hours a few weeks back for a guy ... Kinda made me nervous.

Which goes back to loyalty. I bet you've dealt with him for a while.

Every time I ask my local guy about parts, he rolls his eyes and quotes me some astronomical price, then tells me he can get them in 2 or 3 weeks...

 

[coltont]

But I'm wrong about my dealer remember

My guess Mike is your getting filing angels (how you hold the file) mixed up with side and top plate angles. lf you hold a chisel file at 45° in and 45° up you will end up with approx 15-20° top plate and 85-90° side plate. You DONT want 45° top and side plates........not even with a bikesaw.
