Wanted to say Hello, and show you my new saw!

Negative on the oiler roll pin. As far as sending it to Mastermind..............well. I think I am going to hold off on that. Reason being, because if I do, I'll have to send them all to him. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I just got this saw passed by the budget and finance committee( wife). I don't think i'm going to press my luck to soon. Plus, I just bought a sawmill. And, I need to get my taxes figured out soon. I'm not one of those guys who enjoys tax season, if you know what I mean. I end up on the "giving" end, not the receiving end. Maybe someday It will get a trip to Tennessee .

You might want to send your saw to get the Mastermind treatment to give it some piss and vinegar in the operation. Added to that when finished he will stick on a decal that will add another 1-2% faster operation and increase its value by 50%.

Oh christ..

For now, you can do some at home mods to make all three of them saws run a little better.

I have a feeling that Mustang Mike is now going to add a 660 or 661 to his arsenal in the near future. Oh, and don't forget that a vintage 066 will just about stay with both of them and run right past them with a BBK on board.

Small world... I used to play a game called photo tag. Pa motorcyclists (on a different forum) would drive to locations and snap a pic. Another guy would post his bike next to the same landmark, then get to relocate the next tag location. This day took me to:

Hi and welcome to OPE.

 

[XP_Slinger]

Welcome to OPE! Good group of folks here. Nice saw! Bet that beast is fun to noodle with.

My 44o has a DP muffler. I do love that saw. In fact, I Love all my saws now! The 261 is so much nicer then my old 260. Way smoother and easier to start and seems more powerful. My 440 is just plain fun. It cuts awesome, plus it sounds pretty good as well. Now this 661 impresses me! Didn't get a whole tank though it tonight, but ran it for a bit. Cut the stump off that walnut in the pictures and noodled some more of that maple. Thing flat out RUNS. Guess no better way to break it in then put it in some big wood and burry that 32 inch bar!!!

Welcome new guy. Nice choice for a new saw. Treat it well and it will do the same for you

I think I know the place!! about 8 minutes from the house. I'm out in the sticks from there. I guess some people would think orby is out in the sticks.

[Stihlin Time]

His prices are hard to beat

That's why we deal with him. He treats us very well. We buy a fair amount of stuff off of him over a years time. My BIL and I have a lawncare/ landscaping business. You go to that shop much?

Welcome! No comment on saw choice.

He just needs some exposure to the fast kind

My dream saw is a Husqstihlered

Maybe a Frankenstein build is in my future

Yes I stop in frequently on the way to our Bellville store

Welcome, and nice saw nicely set up. I think your gonna like it.

261, 440 and 661 make a nice 3some.

Honestly Mike, the 261 is a hell of a saw, but after running a ported MS241c, I'd do IT, an 044/MS440 and then an 066/660 or 661. More coverage and a lighter more nimble limbing saw in the 241 which barely sips fuel... Of course there are some other choices I might recommend if one wanted to go to the dark side, save money or get a faster rig...

I Just found the site the other day. I figured I'd share my new saw and say hello. I just picked up a 661 today. I'll give it a shot and see. Hopefully I got a good one! I ran a tank of gas through it when I got home. I figured I will just break it in noodleing a sugar maple. No problems on the first tank!! It's wearing a 32" light bar. Happy so far to say the least!! I'll see if I can put some more fuel through it this weekend.

Yes welcome to the site. Nice saw.
