Stihl MS 661 C-M

Love it so far – Used it three times now to collect jarrah firewood and impressed so far . Fitted the 36 inch bar and skip tooth chain on weekend and absolutely ripped through a jarrah log about 35 inches in diameter .

run chainsaw out of fuel so no chance of it gumming up whilst sitting idle , when running bigger bar go for max oiling , there is a roll pin that needs tapping down next to oil adjustment screw so you can get maximum rotation. I also run 33:1 not 50:1 as recommended by Stihl . Warm up ya saw for five minutes before use and should last you a lifetime

Saw is rubbish and stihl will NEVER honour their warranties. Buyer beware – When the air filter gets dusty which it will because its a terrible design. The saw will run itself lean to keep up the power then saw will explode. I've had 2 of them both are ruined. I have a tree removal company and I have lots of saws this is the worst of all of them Show details

Big machine, great power – Have owned my saw for years. Used for dropping big trees, cutting fire wood, fencing and slabbing timber. Have had 20inch bars up to a 36inch bar on this saw. Love using this saw. Plenty of power and just keeps going. Show details

Got power! But mechanically terrible! – My 661 c cuts really well with great power when running. After a tank of fuel it just won’t start had it in store which is costly time wise and on the pocket and still same thing happens. Using all still oils and still won’t start. Apparently it’s computer driven inside to adjust running conditions but all it is doing is not working. Can’t wait to get a refund and get a husky again.  Show details
