Got to hold a Stihl 881 today

[Mofun]

Was at the local Stihl dealer and they had an 881 with 41 inch bar on the shelf.
Felt quite heavy and unwieldly .
The 661 with 36 inch bar felt so much lighter and better balanced.

Did make some vroom vroom noises while swinging the 881 around the showroom

They make perfect saws for light work around the house, just have to set them up right.

The big ones are a bit ridiculous at first but you adapt quickly with the added bonus of 90cc saws feeling like a nice, light all round saw
