New Stihl MS660 Magnum!!!!

[bluequill56]

Cool saw! You'll love it. I've got maybe half a dozen tanks through mine. Gets better all the time. I'm even limbing with the thing trying to get run time on it. Can't wait til it's broke in!

Welcome to the 660 club, a club where your wallet

It is worth the tears though, put on a long bar and she will purr. I use 32" with mine, I want a 42" but don't know what for.

I've thought of every reason to NOT get a 42" bar (don't even need the 32"), but still haven't talked myself out of it. Probably won't do anyting with it but bolt it on and ogle. But I think it's going to happen..... Man, I bet that looks bad!

Cool mod! Just curious, though. Seems like it would aim the exhaust right at the log when bucking the bigger stuff? Does that cause any problems? Pretty loud? Been thinking about opening mine up a bit more, just thinking about how to do it.

The exhaust gasses sort of hit the log at an angle and bounce off. I haven't had it cause problems yet, I have cut with it a good bit so far. It ain't that loud, not as loud as you would think. I can stand it without earmuffs. It did leave 2 burn marks on a dead buckskin (barkless) whiteoak that I was bucking though. I cut a couple like that lately. It sounds awesome, has a steady rumble to it. The pipes are still behind the spikes so they don't hit the log when bucking or felling. I like it. Oh btw, they are two 3/4"-1/2" copper adapters, brazed in, small end in muffler.:greenchainsaw:

Cool! Got an extra cover laying around. Recon I'll give it a whirl. Bet it does sound good!

Thanks,
Shane.

As soon as it breaks in a little, I'm going to do my muffler mod to it. It will be a walker style 3/4" dual pipes out of the top corners and angled to the side.:greenchainsaw:

I'll tell you this much. It sounds awesome! That size should be fine. That's what I measured and calculated for mine.

You're a bad man, go away! (wife was reading over my shoulder) I've been shopping for while for a larger saw. I'm running a 24" on the 440 and it is unimpressive in dry oak. The 24" is the length I need for what I"m cutting and I want a second, larger bar for the big trunks. I've looked at the Dolmar 7900 and Husky 390 but I think the 660 is the way to go. Great dealer and great saw and this thread just reinforces that opinion. I just need to scape up the $1000 :hmm3grin2orange:

Thanks mark, that was a great post!!LOL I know I will be seen differently now, but I never was the consumer type.....well maybe before I started logging!LOL But this is a saw that I have ALWAYS wanted, and now I got it, so now I'm happy...well for now anyway.LOL:greenchainsaw:

Awesome saw. Very happy that you now have the MS660 which you have ALWAYS wanted. You got a great price as well. Congrats.
