What new Stihl Saw?

[Manofstihl066]

If not another 661, think I'd take a 201t mtronic.

Id buy the cross cut saw hanging on the wall,it'll cut faster after a port job and you don't have to ask what oil/ratio is best HA HA

Yup got some of the stuff your on!! It fuels the BS side of the brain when mixed with RED ARMOR and stuff

8pin is a little bit too much for the stock saw

"Your" or "You're"?

Not every thread is about lubricant.....unless you show up.

Me- I'd get a 461R no question, no mauling it over, no sleepless nights pondering, no asking questions, walk in grab one and go....

461R with a 20" & 28" bars, bestest one saw plan going, IMHO....

Not sure if it is, but looks like Chestnut Oak??? Tough stuff if it is.

No, it's Elm, not sure which flavor but I know it's Elm.

Pic was taken right at dark, I was so jazzed up that I had a new 461 again, I could not put it down, my oldest daughter was hanging outside and came over just as I shut the saw off, and said my phone was ringing, so I snapped a poor lighted pic....

That picture is excactly what I do when I am hauling out heaving wood now....hell with lifting big pieces, I noodle them down with the 461!!!

Just did some big white oak last weekend...

Straight up 661 or with heated wrap handle?

Price difference being $130CDN / $100USD

I like my Arctics and have enough for those cold days over here, they are even nice on wet days which we see plenty of. I would take a 661 either way though as I have plenty of saws to go around.

I am not overly enamored with the 241 even though I have tried them in actual cutting jobs, my assortment of ported 026`s suit my needs much better, plenty lite and nimble with the rpm reaching the stratosphere they put wood on the ground quickly.

I'd take a 661 with a 36" light bar and max flow cause it's a mean a$$ saw.

 

[CoreyB]

I think a little 201 rear handled would be an awesome sidkick.

Ms461 full wrap, or ms362 mtronic

 

[bryanr2]

Since you didn't say "chain" saw, I'd buy this- https://www.stihlusa.com/products/trimmers-and-brushcutters/brushcutters-and-clearing-saws/fs460cem/

 

[MustangMike]

Yea, I could use one of them!

 

[maulhead]

Ms461 full wrap!

Fixed it for ya,,,

 

[Khntr85]

Well financially it would be smart to get a 661 or another 461....but I would like to get the version 2.0 ms261 in manual carb myself, I use the hell out of 40-50cc saws!!!

But the ma461 was best saw I have ever bought hands down....I don't even attemp to pick up huge pieces anymore, I let the saw do the work..

661R ftw no doubt about it.
