Anyone brave enough to ever use the Stihl 880?

Ummm, yes. It's not a difficult task

But a big saw it is. States 8.6 HP, 22.3 lbs.
We need to see how one of these, ported, does on the dyno.

Had a few of the big cube saws. 2100, 3120, 084, 088. They're a little heavier than the 90cc class but if you need one then you need it.

How bout a slightly ported 090 dyno run.


Better get some new brake pads for that dyno

 

[RI Chevy]

True dat.

I think my next saw will be an Echo CS-620P with a 24" bar.
Shows 59.8 cc, 3.65 cu in displacement.
I guess it is comperable to a Stihl MS 362, absent the computerized carb.

Can someone please give me the differences, pros and cons between a STIHL 440, and a STIHL 460? I looked in the catalog and can see the differences in engine size, etc, but give me the skinny on them please.
Is one better than the other. More usuable? Thanks in advance for the insight.

440 has 2 mm smaller bore and weighs a little less, I personally don't notice much difference. 460 has a little more grunt. Either saw will run damn good

Cool. Thanks. I wonder why Stihl makes 2 saws so close together in size like that?

Husky does too. Some guys seem to really feel the weight difference... I don't. But I'm usually bucking. Maybe felling it makes a difference.

They don't make the 441 anymore. Just the 461

There are 441cm's on dealers shelves in Canada. I saw one on Friday when I was there.

 

[RI Chevy]

LOL. I just looked at my Stihl catalog and realized that it was from 2015. Oooops

I'm sure there are a lot of dealers that have them yet. But last I heard they aren't producing anymore of them.

Not much.
I grabbed Jason's for 5 min last night. I needed a fix... Lol. And yours was sitting there with no bar...
I'm going to run them both a bit today.
Maybe a shorter bar comparison, and then a Mike Lee chain comparison!

 

[paragonbuilder]

I pulled Jason's saw apart yesterday and he does very clean neat work!
