+1 you have no way of knowing nor does the dealer if they order one.It doesn't matter if its sat for a month or a couple years its a new saw

 

[SirSawsAlot]

I guess i will have to just settle for the shelf

 

[Stihl 041S]

Someone will be sending you a PM soon who has a "Fresh" 880.........from a secret dealer.

Bud they all come from a shelf, and they are all new till ran. Not sure what benefit you get from a saw made a month newer

Mental security, dont be hatin cuz u aint got the bread for it

Mental security

If a dealership has one in stock they will not order you another one, and even if they do there is no way of knowing how old the one feom the distribution center will be. I assure you it'll be new enough to run just fine

Not a problem but honestly you can buy one off the shelf and be assured it'll run fine. And yes husky, I was a tech at a Stihl dealer for 3 years and used to be hardcore all Stihl. Just wait till you run a good Husky you'll be suprised. Didnt mean to come off as a jerk.

 

[SirSawsAlot]

No worries brother cut safe

 

[Roll Tide]

No worries brother cut safe

You too. What size bar are you going to be running?

 

[deepwoodbigbear]

Why buy a husky 395 if it cuts circles... my Stihl's cut straight...lol

 

[redbull660]

they are dogs out of the box. Get it ported!

We sell Stihl (and Husqvarna) at the dealership where I work. This 880 went home with a customer last week...



Our policy is to sell the oldest unit first. This is important if there is floor plan financing in place, you do not want to be holding aged inventory (especially if it is paid for). Saws are not like food, they do not go stale with age.

Since this has been freshened up, we are looking to buy either a 660, or 395xp. ( odd thing on a comparison chart of the two, it said the 395 didn't have an auto oiler) my biggest saw was a 460 magnum, loved it. I know I can.just look at numbers, but what are people with use of the two thoughts on it. The .1 hp, more weight, and higher price tag of the husky has me leaning to the Stihl 660. Also I know it says up to 36" bar for both, but if I want a bigger bar, what are your experiences / sizes it runs with no issue.? Also wherea the best prices. My local guy has been getting a bit overpriced.

 

[redbull660]

since the 661 stomps all over the 660. I'll say get a 661. This one is ported by tree monkey and running a 36" .404 full comp RS chain.
