i am very happy to have stabbed at your stihl loving pride to hurt you enough to keep mentioning it. yes, dead stihls everywhere! industry used to be 50/50. since the 661/461 it's now 75/25 for husky
most stihl guys actually earning a living with them are running 660's. would seem the only guys who like the newer stihls are the ones burning a few tanks a year cutting cookies or firewood.

Doesn't hurt me at all. I'm just a firewood guy and enjoy running chainsaws. I'm sure the 461 I just got will last a very very long time, that's all I care about.i am very happy to have stabbed at your stihl loving pride to hurt you enough to keep mentioning it. yes, dead stihls everywhere! industry used to be 50/50. since the 661/461 it's now 75/25 for husky

You should really run an air filter if you want your saws to last Shane .

that's actually the result of stihls crafty new locking knob for the AF cover on the 661. they are all like that. people who cut cookies and talk about saws on the internet wouldn't know. are fallers required to inspect their air filter every tank now? lol i clean my huskies once a day but they can go 3 days without a cleaning easy while not much of anything through. that's actually from my buddy who sent me the 462 calender pic. he said he puts something from a 180 in there to tighten up the press the cover does against the filter which helps the issue. sadly, they aren't a functioning design from stihl

Is that a 661?Yay stihl lol

Yup, just a few days on it
I think there may be some operator error here, just like all the guys that can't seem to figure out a flippy cap, and keep dumping fuel & oil on themselves.

nope, 661's that actually get used have saw dust make it's way past the filter. happens on everyone i have seen too. i forget what my buddy does to make it better but it's some kind of a piece off an MS180 he uses to put more pressure on the filter to seal against the base. of course, that saw with a few days on it has more run time then alot of guys put on a saw in a year or 2. lol

They should try the max flow kits Shane ,i have heard good things about them ,the 661 rain cover is not huge and bulky like the other saw ones are .Look oem exept they are black instead of orange .
In two years in Oz with an arb firm, logging, attending climbing events, talking to people and fixing saws I can honestly sayi am very happy to have stabbed at your stihl loving pride to hurt you enough to keep mentioning it. yes, dead stihls everywhere! industry used to be 50/50. since the 661/461 it's now 75/25 for husky

Husky don't get much love in Oz, cos they're weak, easily broken and the new ones don't run properly...
What are they cutting?

good suggestion, only thing is these saws usually end up on a hill somewhere only accessible by helicopter expected to just start and run everyday. kinda what the 660 was good at lol. i heard the maxflow is a cookie cutting filter for the commited cookie cutters. a bit added power but need a sink, soap, and oil just to clean it. they don't clean well on the hill.
no idea, some crew in the interior of BC is where that saw is from. man are the different area's different. stihls lost nearly all love here when the 661 came out. i few die hards desperately hanging onto their brand but not many left.
