Want to Buy Large Stihl Saw

[Dan Jones]

hey Fellas, I'm new around here. I'm looking to increase the efficiency of my rapidly growing 2 year old tree service. Lately, I've been up against some pretty big hardwoods and my 660 /32" bar (mostly stock except for a muffler mod and a little tuning) just isn't fitting my time management goals. I'm no chainsaw expert. They are tools of my trade. I maintain them very well like any other piece of equipment but if I started taking it apart past the bar cover, I'm lost. I'm relying on you guys. Seems a lot of you really know you stuff. I need something that can handle 40-50 inch oak logs and even bigger stumps. I have the cash and I'm ready to buy the right saw. I want the kinda Stihl saw that after one use will leave me grinning for a week. Doesn't need to be new or even close to that. Just as long as it can eat hard woods at blazing speeds while pulling a upper 40's" bar. A would consider a husky 3120 but only as last resort. I don't have any issues with their saws, I've just always been a die hard Stihl guy.

Can anyone help me?

I have a new 3120xp I would sell you.

What are you asking for the 3120?

I have a ported 661 I would sell.

Seems like you could spend a chunk of change and get a 120cc saw, but have you considered having your 660 ported? I've heard the ms880 is kind of a dog without port work. Yeah, I'm sure it'll beat a stock 660, but a ported 660 might be pretty close. It seems like you could get the 660 ported for $300 and put some square grind full skip chain on a 40" bar and tackle those oaks just fine.

I picked up an almost new 661. Does any one want to port it for me? And what is the cost?

Thank you. How long would I be down a saw?

Depends on their schedules...you need to contact them

I'd recommend @Mastermind and @jmssaws.

I think Randy does porting only and is generally backed up. I know Jason may have a saw to swap out for you to get you up and running.

Both fine men.

I get 250$ and I can turn it around in a week. I get big gains from a 661.

Randy does fine work, and stays busy.

Shoot Jason a PM, OP.

I have a very clean Masterminded 088 for $1600 with 60" Stihl bar and two chains. it also comes with a 36" Stihl bar and chain.

 

[Dan Jones]

I can't find anyone that wants to make the 880 a great saw so you can find it in the for sale forum.

Have you talked to Masrermind?

I have a mild woods ported 084 with a 60" stihl bar that I could let go. I can email you pics.
