It's probably hard for him as he never uses saws Probably gets tricked by the circlip holding the rim sprocket on. I mean it is at least a 2 minute job.

Two minutes? One minute I could understand, but two? Wow, that's commitment.

I'm a quadriplegic you insensitive mongrel. It's tough getting that circlip off with your teeth...

It doesn't taste too good either.

I actually meant two minutes for the whole bar, chain, and rim change

 

[McGoo]

Ha, twelve months ago it took me two minutes to get the bar and chain on, on a good day.

I always find it interesting how much there is to learn about something you thought you had nailed. I thought I knew how to chainsaw, but a burnt bar and melted chain has proven otherwise. Nowadays I am borderline OCD about my chainsaw, I would kick old me in the balls if I saw someone abuse a saw the way I used to.

The only difference you'll notice is an extra $40 in your wallet.

How do you guys get on with the 36" bar do you find that the chain always seems a little dry on the 660 I haven't modified the oiler I believe the issue has been rectified on the 661 though keen to hear any of your experiences good or bad

Is it an Australian delivered saw or sourced from the US? We get the high output oiler here as standard whereas the US saws don't. Stihl are getting a bit gay with their oilers though. Any equivalent Husky absolutely pours it out.

Aussie 660 saw my mate has a 395 xp and the oil pours off the bar in the cut

My 390XP will drown a 42" bar. If yours is an Aussie 660 then it's pretty well as good as it gets.

Oough good I have heard it streams off the 661 time will tell

Speaking of which Stihl have made some interesting press releases in the UK recently:


Stihl GB has announced a new e-commerce solution that will enable its Approved Dealers to serve customers via a high quality online platform. From April 2014, Approved Dealers can add online sales to their STIHL and VIKING offer.

Many products will be available to order online for delivery to the customer’s place of work or home, while those which STIHL deems to require a detailed or personal handover such as chain saws and metal tool brush cutters will be available to ‘click and collect’.

Announcing the development, Robin Lennie, Managing Director of STIHL GB said: “The new STIHL e-commerce concept will ensure all our customers – both valued Approved Dealers and end users, can enjoy the benefits of online sales, whilst critically retaining the high service standards expected of our brands.”

STIHL continues to rely exclusively on the servicing dealer, but this latest change reflects the latest legal requirements within the EU as well as growing significance of the Internet for the power tool segment. The expanded online business will supplement the dealer’s local presence enabling customers to buy STIHL and VIKING at a time and place to best suit their needs.
