Forget that. Shop around, my 660 with 32" B/C and some "goodies" was $960.

My guy has a 660 with a 36 for $1025 which as tight as he is is a pretty good deal.

List is 910$ with a 16" bar and chain and goes up from there, and you'll spend atleast 50$ buying the bar and chain for it.

The 650 will come under fire as it is only .3 hp more than an ms 460.

$979 for a 28" MS650 at my local shop in NC. That was on Monday 12-22. I am about 95% certain that it's the same 650 they've had forever, just the hang tag keeps getting changed out with the price increases. It was $879 a year or so ago.

I opted for the 460... ordered it and a dual-port muffler Monday morning @ 11:00, and had it singing alto on Tuesday afternoon @ 4:30

I've already got a 36" bar and chains for my 460,just wanted something that would oil the chain better. Scott

Upgrade your oil pump to the HO version... $30 parts.

Upgrade your oiler...the HO/Australian oiler parts can be fitted in your pump.

I would think $800 or less would be a fair price for the 650, I wouldn't pay more.

$900 w/25" bar here in Champaign, IL

I love it, a 650 with a 16" B&C. There's some torque for ya.

Until recently, it was priced roughly the the same as the 460 in the PNW.. but now it's back to the "old price".

It's way more of saw than a 460.. much more than 0.3hp would indicate... it's hard for me to tell the differnce between a 660 and 650 in most wood, but then again, many saws are like that.

There's one at a dealer near me w/20" bar for $1179, give or take a few dollars. Right above it is a 460 for $800-900 w/20" bar. He just got the 650 a week or two before Christmas. The 460 has some dust on it.

Husqvarna: 137, 61 (in pieces-yet), L65, 288xp, 2100CD
McCulloch: Mac 2-10 (won't stay running-rainy day project)

I was showing that price to show the staring price for the saw. But I'd run a 650 with a 16" bar.

 

[GrizzlyAdams86]

I think I was mistaken. That was a 660 for $1179. The 650 was close to a $1000. And the 460 is $800-ish

Thats kind of what I'm after,my 460 handles a 36" bar as long as you don't make a habit of it and I'd kind of like a little bigger saw to leave the 36" on permanently. Scott
