thank you sir.

Bc he heard how good my 036 sounds and now hes embarrassed

thank you sir

Your chain maintenance/sharpening routine and skill will have a bigger impact on cut speed than the rollomatic/duromatic friction difference.

I prefer roller nose bars. The nose is a high friction area and chain friction is a big power loss.

thanks!

thank you sir.

oh for sure on the 3/8ths. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8CPralyuarPj4U.html

I tell you what I really like my 661 with 41" cannon 3/8. I even run a cannon 50" 3/8 and it pulls pretty good. Everyday use with a 36" and it's a beast

Or if someone is running it for a chainsaw mill. That's what I'll be buying an 880 for.

thermocouple it will lead into my next video :)

Redbull661...Thanks. I thought it might have been a probe to a computer that would give RPMs through the entire cut like an oscilloscope. If I cut more wood I would definitely be hooking up with Scott. Not many people willing to share knowledge like he does. My mentor in marine surveying once told me that "I'll teach you all that I know because by the time I am done I will have learned a lot more and still know more than you." I think that describes Scott...he's teaching old school tricks he's learned while experimenting and learning all of the nuances in the new saws and how to make them perform better.

chainsaw milling is pretty hard going. if you are going to use it exclusively as a milling saw and maybe firewood saw (for big rounds) go for it. If you want something a bit more versatile then go with a 661c-m. By the way, I've seen a ported ms661c-m that was slightly faster than a stock ms880. I don't know whether it would be faster than the ms881 though. My boss used to use a chainsaw mill but now he's got the large lucas portable sawmill. He's had it for about 18months and has made his money back twice on it. You'll never do that with a chainsaw mill irrespective of how big the saw engine is.

@@positiveaspect5730 too bad the difference in price is a whole zero.

same chain on both. full comp - stihl rs .404 .063 123dl on the 880, then shortened chain to 117 for the 661.

@@Redbull661 Thanks I thought it was skip on the 661. My stock 880 runs good with full skip and 8 pin. Full comp with 8 pin bogs it too much. Runs good with 7 pin full comp.

@@theyeoman5955 can I ask why in the world you would run full comp on a 42in bar??

I would have to agree!

Stihl has granted your wish.

some sort of maple I think.

S1 CSB 41 063 - it's medium mount stihl 3003 12mm s1 - with 404 tip it's 117-118dl depending on 7pin or 8pin. with 3/8 tip it's 128-130dl depending on sprocket size and chain.

@@Redbull661 Cheers !!

My guess is that he's got a tach attached to the saw.

this was actually about a month ago. Just got around to editing it together.
