Sold Stihl 661R CM PHO

[tacomatrd98]

First 661 to hit the tradin post. Long story short, I ordered an R and I shouldn't have. This is my first wrap saw and after trying it briefly I do not care for the wrap handle. I'm so used to using the top of the bar if I'm felling from the other side that it feels awkward holding it with the wrap portion. I may get used to it but before it gets any time on it I figured I would post it up for sale.

I fueled it with 40:1 VP SEF/Stihl Ultra, ran the calibration, put the bar/chain on and cut a few test cuts in some walnut. No wood really worthy of the saw. It runs great. Very nice saw, just want a non R model.

Price is $1125 shipped to the lower 48, PHO, paypal preferred.

Not really interested in trades at the moment.

Wowsers....droooool.

How 'bout it Dex?....I don't need but wouldnt mind running it

Dude!!! How could you!!!


just replace the handle bar? The you still have large clutch cover. Just sayin!

 

[tacomatrd98]

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I don't care for the tall clutch cover either. I hear about how great wraps are on here so I though I'd try one...It just feels wrong to me. Is there a correlation between people who like wraps being left handed maybe? IDK.

I could never figure out why firewood cutters or cookie cutter have wrap handles

A bar length 3-4 times wood diameter is a good rule of thumb. You cant get too close to what you're cutting or it fills your sneakers with chips...they're a b!tch to get out of your socks...

so if you cut 16" wood you need a 32" bar?

 

[SCTREEGUY]

Atleast a 40

32 just may get you by but a 36-42 would be ideal.

 

[sawfun]

16" wood is either 200t or 50cc territory so a 16" - 18" should be max. Now some of the 36" - 60" stuff we get here DOES require the longer bars. Maybe the long bars are a PNW thing as we have the trees for them.

good to know, I will keep it in mind and stick with 4-5" wood max with my 261c & 18" bar.
