What new 90-100cc saw should I buy for a 36" B&C?

For stumping it's pretty hard to beat the 395XP. They don't have the snappy rev and chain speed of the 660 but they have the torque.

I ran a stock rebuilt 395 and a BB660 head to head and the 395 had the edge every time with a 36" bar and new, off-the-roll 36RSLK.

RSLK for stumping?
 
i think my 660 has a more modern shaped wrap handle than the 066 did ,if you are looking for a wrap model

800.00 shipped. :msp_thumbup:
 
i have a new 066 in the box, it is a fairly early model, never been fueled. came across 2 of them, i was going to list one on CL, and keep one. they are both set up with wrap handles and big clutch covers. i think it would be worth a 1000.00.

So is your NOS 066 an early flat top? Decomop or not? Sounds interesting, just not sure if I want and early crank and all metal flywheel for the power I hope to get out of one. A SN would pinpoint which crank it has. There were two used in the flat tops, one having a bigger bottom end rod bearing. Got any pics you could post?
 
I built a 064 w/ OEM MS660 top end and old dual port muffler
for a tree company it runs everything thing from a 28" to 42" bars. It's their go
to stump saw, and the owner saws it's the best saw he's ever owned.

My 066BB left on Thursday, and I'm still torn on what to do. It will be either a near mint 066 or a new 395XP. I've yet to see a used 395 in the condition that I want. Anyone got one they'd want to sell?

I can't wrap my mind around why you sold an 066......if you are now looking to buy an 066???? :msp_confused:
 
Brad I don't know if you've considered this but the external clutch makes for less leverage on the crank bearings on a 395.

Just trying to throw more grey area at you.

Lol
 
Wow, never would've guessed the 395 would get the majority of votes at roughly 66% with as many Stihl heads as we have here.
