For you milling guys, I've only milled with an 046. I want to know if there would be a big difference between using a newer 066 and 084? I understand there have been improvements to the 066 and 088 since the 084 was around. Just wondering for milling purposes if there would be a big difference. Thanks

I use an 066

Had a dealer trying to sell me an old 075 but it was pretty heavy and clunky compared to the 066. May have had a bit more power, but the 066 does okay. Use 36" bar/Alaskan with full skip rip chain.

I take it into the woods, and the 075 just didn't seem worth it. He also wanted $100 more than I paid for the 066.
