One day i am going to do a test on this stock v modded fuel use,with amount of cuts,time taken to do the cuts / fuel used on my stock 660 and modded 660 and settle this once and for all.
[snip]
I just love my 660s
It has a turbo whistle cause it has secret turbo How's it running mate?
Have you heard anything about the Solo's filtration? When you do you may think twice about running one in anything but green pine in a tropical rainforest. The 681 is a shocker and no HD option available, unlike it's near twin the 7900. The 681's are good saws but basing them on my modded and stock 7900's they'd struggle to outpull a 660 with anything over 24". Quite difficult to overcome a 12cc torque band
What sort of $ are they charging for the 681 down your way Trav ?
I chased one up for Serg from the nearest dealer last year but they aren't cheap, and spares like the air filter were pretty exxy too.
The old firewood cutter here that runs all Solo saws rang me last week as he is getting out of the game and all his gear is up for sale but it isn't cheap.
His 681 has only about 20 hours on it.

A local dealer offered me a 681 for $1200 a while ago, not sure what the retail is on them.
I would have bought it cause that is CHEEEEEEAAAAAAPPPP
Oh right, yeah I was thinking about it but i got a 7900 for $800 instead.
Have you run one matt? not having a dig at all cause I don't know personally.
have they still got one? when I checked the best price I could get one locally was 1200 plus 259 to replace the crap filter with the HD one!

I got the the 7900 from the US and that was quite a while back. I have seen Makita 7901's on our ebay and some tool websites for around $1000.
The standard air filters aren't that bad, they just aren't great either.
As Matt said, filter oil on them and nothing appears to get through but geez, they block up quickly......
As for the HD one, what, you can't wait 7 days from placing an order to delivery to your mail box ?
That's all it takes from Kyle @ Edge & Engine.
It's not like the saw's unusable in the mean time either
well 7 days might cut it.
Better bring one to the GTG so I can try one! never know I might just go blue!
