Saw is rubbish and stihl will NEVER honour their warranties. Buyer beware

published

When the air filter gets dusty which it will because its a terrible design. The saw will run itself lean to keep up the power then saw will explode. I've had 2 of them both are ruined. I have a tree removal company and I have lots of saws this is the worst of all of them

Big machine, great power.

published

Have owned my saw for years. Used for dropping big trees, cutting fire wood, fencing and slabbing timber. Have had 20inch bars up to a 36inch bar on this saw. Love using this saw. Plenty of power and just keeps going.

Purchased in April 2014 at Stihl Dealer for $1,700.

Serious must have !!

published

Thanks to the new computer chip ANY changes you make can take up to 12 pulls to start .. once it re-sets to the change ..starts 2nd pull every time.. Can bring down the biggest trees with ease.. light enough carry around and cut with for a few hrs at a time.. Im replacing the ms660 with this and its MUCH quicker.. .. will revisit this review after a winter of cutting and see if my mind changes..

Got power! But mechanically terrible!

published

My 661 c cuts really well with great power when running. After a tank of fuel it just won’t start had it in store which is costly time wise and on the pocket and still same thing happens. Using all still oils and still won’t start. Apparently it’s computer driven inside to adjust running conditions but all it is doing is not working. Can’t wait to get a refund and get a husky again.

Looking at Jones' response. As there is very little difference in the power head of the 066/660/661 and power is not the essential component of tougher timber...are you saying that the 'computer control' changes the Hp-Torque curve to match the resistance the chainsaw is experiencing.?...and at a better combination that either of the other two saws..? Please advise
