The MS661 is for sale in the US again

hard to beat a good ol 390xp

Like the MS660......they ain't too impressive stock.

After a proper port job though........hold the **** on.

 

[tlandrum]

yep,in my opinion the 390 in ported form is hard to beat for power to weight and price

I like them so much I have two.... Terry Ibelieve you ran one I had just ported at the 460 build off up at your place

well randy,is the 661 gonna keep up with the 395?

It's the 390 I'm hoping to be able to catch with it.

The 395 has a bit of a displacement advantage.

That's what I'm interested in finding out. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

What is US list price on these saws -
390 xp/xpw
661 cm/cmr

 

[blsnelling]

The MS661 here is $1,219 with a 20" bar. I bought mine for $1,150. I don't know what list is on a 390XP, but I get them for $875.

 

[Deleted member 83629]

between 1200-1350 im guessing for the 661

 

[Tnshaker]

Not sure how I can see it it will be worth that much more than a 390 or 2188. Although I do like the looks of it.

Even with the port job on the 390 you'd still save lots of cash over the 661

 

[LumberJack1940]

Just posted these in my other thread but thought I'd show them here as well, we got the 661 here locally a week and a half ago. full wrapped with some neat dogs, no price tag on it and i forgot to inquire about it. Don't mean to hijack the thread but just showing some pics I got today

 

[Tnshaker]

The 661 looks good....but for less I can have a ported 2188. Nothing looks better than a 2188 and ported at that for less than a 661.....hmmmmm

 

[Mastermind]

I'd rather pay more and get the Stihl.

 

[Tnshaker]

Randy, wonder if our local dealer we use can get them yet?

 

[stihlaficionado]

Good thing ST isn't on

I've got one on the way already.

My 661 will be going back to the dealer for a reset. It stalls all the time and let me tell you that sucks 60ft up in the air.
