661R Fever ...it's here!!!

[Dave4610]

My 661R just arrived at the dealer in Texas. I should have it in my sweaty hands by Wednesday next week at the latest. I hope that is drool and not vomit, although after all I've been through with this saw.....

as soon as they txt me my parts are in, i'll go in and suss it out. i have the 2014 pricelist with me, so i can mark it up. i am guessing 10-15 %

not saying how I have these...or for which distributor they are for.

661 R dealer/List
36" 1033 1309.95
32" 1025 1299.95
28" 1009 1289.95
25" 1001 1279.95
20" 993 1269.95


661 non R - subtract apporx 40 off those prices.

dealer prices don't include freight. So don't beat em up to bad guys.

Man wish I lived over there I would have a whole family of 661's in different configurations at those prices

For the Aussies; we all know importing anything totalling over $1000AUD (or $900?) which includes shipping gets stung with GST and duties etc oh and **** exchange rate, but is the GST and duty only on the amount exceeding or the entire amount ?

If someone is getting the saw get them to strip it down ( leave the jug on) and label it as spare chainsaw parts only.
That worked for me.

Thanks mate

I drove 6 1/2 hours yesterday to pick up my 661R and you are rite it is one BAD A--saw. And well worth the drive.I finally got to take that shortly off my sig.

Hey, the 661 & 661R just appeared on the Stihl Website, even though the 660 is also still there.

No customer ratings on it yet, so if U want to be first ... (like I was w/the 362 C-M).

Mikefrommain put one up. Mine came with blood and all. Apparently the dealer wasn't used to handling a saw that size and ended up with a couple of stitches. I bet he wears gloves from now on.

 

[MustangMike]

They sometimes take a few days to show up.

That "blood & all" w/a 661 does not sound pretty! Hopefully the injury did not occur while it was running!

well sh*t boys. My 41" bar just arrived damaged. Contacting Piltz/Kevlargrafs to see what they want to do...

My email to em..
Dear kevlargaffs,

Dear Sir or Madam, I went to the post office to pick up the bar, it was damaged by USPS. Tip has been torn off. Luckily I opened it in front of the post master, so he saw first hand. I have attached pictures. Unfortunately, it appears that the main part of the bar, to which a new tip would attach, has also been bent, thus would not be a simple fix. What do we do next? Respectfully, Isaac

ps. Quite honestly I would just like a new 41" bar sent as fast as possible. USPS took their time, then mis routed the package, and now, it has finally arrived damaged. I'm pretty upset about the entire situation. Thank you again.

 

[redbull660]

beyond the sucky part. I just want to say this bar is fckin bad ass!!!!!!!!!




Here are some close ups. Any of you dudes think I can just replace the tip?

How the ____ did they do that ?

Doesn't your saw shop stock those ? I think they have 42's on the wall at my stihl shop .

Looks like an oregon tip will fit that bar ,the rivot drives out with a punch ,it only comes out one way though ,may come out easier if drill it first

That is the same bar i want to get for my alaska mill ,supposed to have a harder metal then most bars and less flex ,if you sell that after testing like your other bars ,let me know ,that is if it is still good ,looks like it got ran over with the mail jeep



edit ,here is a link on how to replace tips
