I would like to be able to talk you out of this saw Dan...but, it's just not right for that saw to have to sit there all by its lonesome self. Dan, its your solemn and sacred duty to keep that saw from having to suffer the disgrace and neglect of a solitary lifestyle. People will sing your praises for decades to come and children and women will clamor at your feet in honor of you performing the graceful act of buying this saw...yes Dan, clamor at your feet! You will be a hero...now, you just run on down and pick-up that saw...the glory awaits you...run along now...go get that saw! We want pics by 3pm so that we can share your charity and triumph with the world.

It might look just like this,
hey, any chance you could remove the dawgs from the 660 shown there and take a decent photo of them for me. im trying to gather pictures of various stihl dawgs so i can digitize them in autocad and use the waterjet to cut them out. i already have the 051, timberbear, 880, pp260 among a few others. i can adjust the scale but if you were to place 2 measuring tapes perpendicular it wuld be nice. im also looking for the 048 series dawg.
thanks.

What is the point of bloody well trying be talked out of buying the saw you have already seen it and you want it and you most probably will not stop thinking about it until you buy it. When it comes to rationalising it is no use asking these guys to talk you out of it because once you have joined this site
you become severely addicted to chainsaws and to boot you turn into a Homer Simpson lookalike and start drooling at the sight of a big chainsaw (arrrrrgggghhhh 066 must buy arrrgggggghhhh).
second smart assed analogy: posting this thread asking to talk you out of buying a saw was like walking into an execution chamber once you are in you are screwed and the wife is the executioner

Drove up there right before lunch and.....she was still sittin right there in the same spot, cept I was wrong she was wearin a 36" bar. The price tag said $1089.00 with a sticky note stuck on the side---Reduced--$969.00 :bang:
The Stihl salesman was gone to lunch though (reprieve!) so I said "No problem, I haven't had lunch either....I'll be back"
Drove down to the Chinese restaurant all the while thinking "Run....Run while there is still time." Tried to talk myself out of it all thru lunch. Finally decided I'd go back and hit him with some low ball offer, he'd be insulted, run me off and I'm thru with it. Sat out in front of the store and smoked a cig, trying to regain my sanity. I was unsuccessful.
Went in and said "Just what can you do on this saw?"
He said "Well we already got it marked down and all these saws are going up as of the tenth but....if ya really want it howsabout $950.00 and I'll throw in a free chain?"
I caved!
Couple things bothered me...The service guy don't work weekends so the salesman takes her in the back, adds oil & gas, fires her up, revs it a few times and says "Sounds bout right to me" and hands it to me.
The bar says it takes a 114 chain but he says that is wrong and gives me a 115.
Man, is this beast un-weildy with that 36" bar!
I'm thinkin a 32 would be better.
Here is a few pics

Dan is da man! Good price on it too. 36" bar is a smart move on that saw IMO you can always throw a 32", 28", etc...if/when you feel like it. What chain are you running?
Dan, the glory is now upon you! The clamoring of lesser folk will soon beganst! :hmm3grin2orange:
CONGRATS!
