Is the 066Mag the king of all chain saws

[ShoerFast]

Yes, I see...anyone who dares to speak against Stihl is either a "moron" or a "troll".

Who started this thread? That's right, Thall did. A Stihl dealer. That's what I call a "troll". Only a "moron" as you say whould see it otherwise.

Maybe this disqualifies me, I'm no were near the smartest one here, but I was the worlds youngest Stihl Dealer at one time, me thinks I should have finished school first, but me also thinks that before someone makes a point of correcting others spelling, they should call "whould", would,,,,,,, no?

Kevin,

Let's just ignore him. This thread WAS a reasonable discussion until Mr. Happy derailed it with his silly comments, just like many other threads. We can't change his behavior but we certainly can change how we react to it.

I scrached the up the cylinder wall of my new 066. I only had used it for less than 20 hrs. I slabbed with it all day. (like six hrs.) Then used it pull a log with a Lewis winch. Granted I was new at it and probably used too lean a mix. But the next time I started the saw it ran for about 2 min then wouldn't restart. I brought it back to store I bought it at and tired to get the benefit of the doubt that something may have wrong with the saw to begin with but they wouldn't have it. They put me in touch with a stihl rep. They told him I was using the saw to slab. He told me that the saw shouldn't have been used for that purpose. And told me no way would they do anyhting for me. They fixed the saw at the shop I bought it at and I paid about $250. The is runing just fine now. (About 50 hrs on the new cylinder-piston job). But needless to say When I needed ot replace my old wood-boss I went with husquvarna.

So my vote for the king of saws is gots to be bummer.

Any feedback would be appreciated. (like, is this the post for this.)

And try not to 'cover it in sap'.

I is a troll, hahha. Now Sap as you know you can call me anything and never have to worry about me calling any adminstrator because you know I likes ya,hehehe. Now remember Sap when you call me a name that opens the door for me to reply back at you with a name but its your lucky nite ole buddy, I'm not going to call you any names at all. I am however going to point out to you that you should go back and read the first post. The thread was started by merely on a opinion of a customer about one saw, thats all. It had nothing to do with sales, king of beers, Wild Things or 029's or anything you brought up througout the thread. It was a mere opinion by a customer and I posted his opinion to see what others think, whether they agree or disagree, thats all. To really have a valid opinion Sap you would have to have used a 066, owned a 066 or seen one cutting wood. You apparently have none of three so that would mean your opinion is totally worthless and not valid at all. Thats why Lake called you a moron, take note I didn't call you anything cause, guess, yup, you got it, cause your my frend,hehe. I had the pleasure of sitting back watching you bring up Wild Things, king of beers, 029's and so on but not once did I see where you knew one single thing about a 066. Therefore ole buddy its obvious you don't know nothing about a 066 which is ok, just admit it and all will be fine. Heck I don't know anything about a 455 Husky and you have never seen me comment on one merely because if I did I would be like you, talking about something I know nothing about. So when you get into these verbal wars Sap its best to know what your arguing about first. Most times that solves all the arguments,hehehehe. Now I only tell you that because, yup, you got it, cause your my frend....................

OOuch!

Bet that hurt?

 

[sawn_penn]

Now that was funny.
He's from down under though, and everyone knows that down under tree rings grow at 45 degree angles, toilet water spins counter-clockwise, and saw chains spin in reverse. Bwahhahahahahahaha!

Anyone out there think I drew the chain backwards by accident?

The 45 degree wood grain was just me being lazy. I even thought, will anyone care? I guess I chose wrong.

 

[carvinmark]

Sawn,I knew you did that on purpose,just wanted you to know it was noticed right away-I got a kick out of it and wanted everybody else to look close-It is so hard not to post about Thalls frend,it takes all I got,OK I can't stand it,Sappy,they broke the mold with you,you just don't know when to shut the hal up.You remind me of a 16 yr old kid that knows everything and does or has done everything.Oh ya,I'm just a hick in the sticks so my spellin ain't gud as yers.

 

[Mr.]

Ok guys. I think we are stupid. This has to be Simonizer.

He thinks a 455 is powerful and he has spelling issues.

Wow, Milling wood first thing on a new saw, I would think that would be like taking your new car to a nascar race.
Hmmm Maybe not, We are talking 2 cycle engines.
I would think a 066 should stand up to milling wood but from I have read about milling with a chain saw is you would add more oil like 32-40:1 and also open up the bar lube.
Education can be costly.
as far as warranty issues, Next time go the store and say."I don't know what happen, I put it in the on position, pulled this thingy, It started, I cut wood, It stopped." Then look at them like the head lites are getting closer. And wait for the store owners response. And stick to your story But do get mad.


Once again ya all ,

I milled a whole cedar tree with a brand new 455 Rancher. Didn't hurt it a bit. Granted, I mixed it rich at around 30:1, but you'd think Stihl would stand behind it's "King of All Chain Saws" regardless, eh? LOL!

Don't let my 066 find out the 390 is the king.

Cedar , aka: the wood they make pencils out of?

Comparing a rauncher to an 066 for milling is like bringing a knife to an air raid!

Yeah, the main difference in this instance being that the 455 could take it, and the 066 couldn't....and neither could the Stihl dealer, evidently.

The one thing the post showed was that Stihl dealers appear to be just as quick to abandon the 066 class saws (er, I mean...The King of All Chain Saws) as they are with the 029 class saws when milling enters the equation. Hahahahahahaha!

And if I may? Again you have no clue what your talking about, as the story reads,,,,,,,,

" I slabbed with it all day. (like six hrs.) Then used it pull a log with a Lewis winch. Granted I was new at it and probably used too lean a mix."

As for my self, I do not know if your rauncher has comparable time on a Lewis winch? But I do know that cylinder pressures can sky-rocket with the pure dead weight of a winch load, and could easily over temp the metallurgy. Internal temp up, cooling air down, you do the math? Maybe raunchers have a secret?

But the admittance of using "too lean a mix" should relieve any obligation of the Dealer or Stihl to fix it for free, perhaps some social program will come along and grant free saw repair, airline tickets and health care for all?

Intell then, read your owners manual and stay safe.

 

[manual]

Sorry ADRPK I tried to stay with the program.
I should of added that I don't Think any saw dealer likes to see you use there saw for milling under warrany issues.

 

[manual]

You cannot compare two different saws using two different densitys of wood.

Do you guys Know the difference between a Mule and a Jackass?


A Mule knows when to stop.

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping somebody wouldn't say something like, "everybody knows that Lewis winches are bad for chainsaws". I haven't used it (the winch) since. Like over a year. But people do use them, huh? I researched and thought I was straight on the subject but after that I was in question. It was the mix and the long hours then.
Ya I got mad. I still use that shop. They send somebody over to the phone everytime I walk-in now. Just in case. (joke)
But ya, the saw is great but what about the company. I wore a Marmot gore tex jacket till the ends of the sleves were threading, I'm talking 4 years. I called the company because it started to leak. They said, "send it to us." Two weeks later I got a new jacket. I was stunned. When I need equipment for the outdoors I go to Marmot first. When I look at chainsaws, guess what. I still can't get over the attitude of that Stihl guy over the phone. He dissed his own rep in that store too. It was him (the guy in the store) who sold his used granberg to me, the same day I bought the saw. And might I add, I didn't mention to either of them that I ever had a winch. Long live the "king", but man.

 

[stihlatit]

Definitely the best saw I have had in my hands without a doubt.
