Anyone run 592 and 661s, is there much of a difference between them, I need a bigger saw for a 36". Probably been answered before but I'm to lazy to look, I can get a new 592 at cost price, I know the rep but all my older bars are all stihl mounts + I've a right good dealer 10mins from my house
I have had a 592 since 3/2022, first sold into au, luv this saw its ergonomics are the best, i dont pick up the 660 anymore, i realise its not the same era but imo there is no comparison. Added full wrap kit straight up, then wcs three points. Great saw, good on fuel, good power, 36” duralight, skip… 💪👍

PS Cannon have adaptors to suit stihl bar mounts to D009 husky 592

I was thinking of trying to find an Outerwears for the factory AF.
I made my own foam pre filter covers before i even ran my saw, said direct to husky straight up the filter is way too small, still hassle them to make a decent size one to fill the space under that cover. Notoil is the go for cleaning filter foam, but also as we know one must oil the foam or it sucks the sawdust through to the main filter. Also removing the spark arrestor screen makes a difference but you Must put the screw back in place or the inner thread can vibrate off and fall into exhaust, a stationary saw at the wrong angle sees it in the pot!

View attachment 437431My son has 661 and to me 592 feels lighter, better balanced. I think specs say 661 is a little lighter? I personally prefer the 592 but they are both good saws.
True, its all about safety and what makes one happy mentally in the mind and physically with the saw in the hand, i agree, but i hate my 660 not a chip on the 592 in any way whatsoever 👍

I'm definatley going to be doing a muffler mod, going to wait till I get about 10 tanks through it just to make sure its gonna hold up.

but so far I am impressed, bucked up some 30 inch rounds like a hot knife through butter.
