661C-M only rated to 32" ???

[Stihl-Pioneer]

I was looking at the 2014 catalog and notice Stihl is only rating the 661 to 32" unless it's a misprint. It has .2hp more than the 660, but can't pull the same size bars? I wouldn't think so.

I see the 241C-M has finally made the lineup for us in the USA. It's about time!!

Wasnt the 660 rated for a 32" bar also?

they are just trying to keep you stihl boys from getting your feelings hurt.

36"

Maybe the next surprise will be Stihl not offering 36" bars anymore.

The biggest bar Stihl sells for small mount Stihl saws is 32" so why would they rate the saw for a bar that they don't sell?

They have always offered 36" in an ES and now ES Light as far as I have seen. That's what is in my Stihl bar and chain catalog.

In that case, I need to find a different dealer to deal with.

Could be a regional thing. Stihl NW stocks bars in 36"

The local shops carry 36" bars here. I think most are .050" which sucks but other than that they're on the shelf.

I keep 36" ES bars in stock. If they are discontinued, I need to raise the price

They're normally equipped on the shelf with a 36"x.063x3/8" bar/chain setup at every Kansas stocking dealer I've been to. Occasionally you'll find a 28-32", but 36" is the standard. Mine was equipped that way and I had to buy a 25"(24" actually) to go with it. The saw and short bar burned up, but I still have the 36" bar. I'm saving it in case I ever get another 660, or a saw and adapter to make it work, as I think that I have 5-7 chains for it in good shape...

460/1's seem to be equipped with either 24" or 28" bars of 63x3/8" chain, UNLESS otherwise spec'd out... FWIW
