I kept hearing the voices....

And ordered an MS 660 with a 25" bar....

Wow! Nice saw. I wish I had use for anything larger than an 16" bar. I still run a 20" bar on my saw, only because the saw feels unbalanced with a lesser bar. Here in the Interior, our biggest trees are white spruce...and they are about 16"...MAX!
Can't wait for the photos...

Just for your info.....The MS 661 is out which is the replacement model for the MS 660
The feedback i have read is that it defiantly is worth the wait.The MS 660 is a good saw,just it is an old design,came out around 95 IIRC

Nothing more than a pencil sharpener

I have the much older 066, and with the 25" bar it ROCKS. It will run bigger, but the 25 will POWER through anything with a sharp chain. You almost cannot stall it.

I got mine in non running condition and installed new cylinder/piston/rings (big bore kit), in addition to a dual port muffler. Needless to say, when bucking, it is my GOTO saw for anything bigger than 16" across. You will also find that the longer bar makes it nice for limbing a fallen tree (no bending).

However it can be unwieldy in bad terrain or really tangled brush because of it's size. That is the reason I still have my smaller saw with a 16" bar.

Congrats on the purchase (or condolences when the wife finds out ) Let us know how you like it.
