That saw rips...ugh I wants one...

You fellas would be HARD pressed to find a 660 that would hang with @trooney's 661.

Got the better of a ported 395 if I remember right

I didn't have anything in the shop that could beat it with any bar.
Amazing running saws.

Very nice Jason. That second video makes me wonder how hard the clutch was worked as strong as the saw was trying to pull.

I'm sure making videos gets old but I do appreciate every one of them. I've said it before your saws have a sound that unique to you and they sound good.

I know it is an awesome saw and it feels good in my hands. I couldnt be happier!! Its slowly becoming my favorite saw over my 064. And I thought that NOTHING would take the place of that saw. It just sounds hungry. But the 661 sounds more hungry. I'm not a professional tree guy, but for my needs I dont think it can be beat. If it beat Shauns 395, that I think is a statement. Slow, I dont think so!! Jason put the right recipe on it. Stock for stock I havent run 'em, but with anything with new technology it takes a little while for them to iron the bugs out. I dare say it would beat it stock too. And I dont know how much of that conversation is just due to the fact that the 066/660 has been around so long and it takes a little while to earn the respect that it deserves.

What bar/chain combo you liking?

 

[trooney]

I run 28" .404. That seems to work best for me. I also have a 3/8's bar for it but haven't put it on it yet.

I run a 661 with a 36 in bar at work. Saw is bone stock and works great with a 3,8 skip chain. I'd take a 661 over the 461 any day of the week. Chews through everything but rocks n nails

You have a good collection of saws.
I love the 066/660 saws and I've made a living with them for a while but it's very easy to see a 661 is a better saw,in 30 years it will be revered the same as a 660.

They are great running stock saws and can be maniacs ported.
