MS661C Muffler Mod Testing

[redoakneck]

I love Brad pissing off neighbors threads

Brad's neighbors actually pay him to run saws, they enjoy the "music", and if anyone messes with them, Brad will "handle "it for them.

Same way my neighbors enjoy dirt bikes, saws, fresh hog manure and BBQ!!!

Brad, nice saw, and thanks for the info, but heavy load on a 661 with a 20" bar??? IMO, I would not use a powerhead of that wt with anything less than 28".

Your hybrid or 372 will rip with a 20".

Mike im pretty sure brad knows appropriate bar length for certain powerheads...i think it was more to accomodate the size of the wood in the video.

Ive seen guys cut firewood with 90 cc saws and 20" bars..just for the fun while your young , try it..its a hoot.

 

[MustangMike]

I'm sure you are correct. Kinda like running a ported 064 with a 20" bar, it is fast as H***, but you wish it had a bigger bar so you could see what it can really do.

Big, consistent wood is tough to find.

Though I enjoy running noisy old MACs which usually drown out all others, I once worked next to a TL WWS 460. The combined harmonics of the two saws was actually painful despite ear muffs. Alone either was tolerable. When falling any tree that concerns me, I leave one or both ears uncovered. A long intro to I agree with Brad - quieter is sometimes better.

Here's the current version of my 661. Cut times are a little off, but you can see the knot in the wood and can hear it holding more RPMs in the cut. I need another 661 here to test beside it.

Very impressive!

When i was bucking i used 22" bars on both my 181 and 298xp, all the buckers used short bars, way too much filing in a day to go any longer! That was in big wood too, giant cedar and big hemlock, always got thru it!

When are we going to see another 880 Brad?

Looks like I'm going to have to drop the coin to get this rolling

I had someone have me price one recently, but it didn't happen. You know my dealer's number

 

[stihlaficionado]

I bought one in 2009 & rarely used it . My wife sure was glad when I sold it .
Not quite sure what she'd say if she found another one in the house.

My, what a big saw you have, my dear!

Me thinks, the words he would hear would not resemble them, but I cannot say for certain

Its kinda like runnin any big strong powerhead with a smaller bar.

I would love for you to analyze my vid. My tach doesn't work on this model.

I quick plotted the final dual port in that thread, but I had downloaded all four from your thread earlier. Doing shrimp on the barbie at the moment, but I'll try to look at them later on!

Thanks Chris!

Then how do you know you found more rpm?
