STIHL Finished my 880, TimberBeast

[Thumper88]

So I bought this from a member here a few months ago. It was already rebuilt and ported, wearing a 41” Cannon Superbad in .404. I decided to make some changes to make it better for falling and bucking big timber. Saw specs now are an 880, rebuilt and ported by Randy with an unlimited coil. 34” Oregon light weight bar modified to fit with a 3/8 Oregon 75CL square chisel chain and a 3/8 x 9 pin sprocket. Max Flow filter with rain shield in place. Stihl factory 3/4 wrap handle bar. I’ve got the saw tuned at 12,500 with the max flow and gonna cram it in some big dead oaks this weekend to see how it does.

Very nice, I have an 088 that i bought from a fellow member and was previously ported by Randy.
It's a strong running saw wearing a 42 incher.

Nice looking saw there. It worked out well for you. That thing must be fast.

Now I can put on the 32" Sugi lite in 12mm. My modified Cannon H1 to S2 stayed 12mm on the 084. Yours is soo user friendly mine with those big longer milling bars isn't. Being able swap right to 3/8 on one 41" ES 14mm bar and saw should cover a lot of different combos like yours does. The other 41" ES is staying 404 to mill with. My best part was getting the seven pin 12mm long bar to work well and the eight or nine 14mm on shorter ones.

I've never ran one but I do have an 084 that runs a 42" bar .That and the other large saws don't get much run time .
