Stihl MS881! The rumors begin

[stihl livin]

Looks like a nice saw but I sure won’t like the look of the paint on it by the serial number after that bark box cooks it for hours on end.

if that bark box is like the one on my 500 it doesn’t go straight out the side. It’s actually angled up from bottom corner to opposite top corner so it actually shouldnt hit the side of the saw that bad

OK...So its a shelf queen...lol

Friday it’ll get some use - it will be a milling powerhead for me / stumping / cross cutting large hardwood in the bush (I don’t have a 661) - today we dropped a lot of blow down stuff that’s too small for it

Likely will not run the bark box to be honest - it sounds amazing but it would be unbearable to mill with

sometimes it requires three or four times Heath. Don’t make me go in the garage and take a damn picture. I’m eating ice cream and that is way more important

I see that extra plate welded in for deflection up and angle now. Didn’t look that close at first just saw the large opening on the side

No critics here I’m just trying to catch what you’re slinging.

Most all of my mufflers are modded out the other side. No real problems at all.

Not staight out, pipe angled or deflector.

 

[RI Chevy]

Deflectors on side, but I guess front exit.

Dump some gas in it for Pete's sake.

I wanna see a video cutting something.

Nonsense on the bark box too loud for milling. I’ve got a massive side exit on my 880 and run that *b-word all the time! Them 120cc’s on a ported cylinder sound like a dirt scooter milling wood!

fixed for you Heath @hseII

I see now!!!

Thank You Sir.

Looks like Stihl was listening and have put deeper captive bar nuts on the 881
The ms661 captive bar nuts are to shallow put simply they are crap lol IMHO.
Yeah I might be the only one to complain about them lol But running hard nose bar's and giving the chain a rub and adjusting the chain every tank of fuel it got old fast the scrench slipping off the shallow nuts on a ms661 unless perfectly aligned and the scrench needing to be in perfect lightly used condition.


Crap
