Don't get the 48" bar, solid nose, saps a lot of power and it bends too much when trying to drop big trunks, its ok when ringing up but you can't ring up what isn't down. Get the 36" bar and then get a bigger bar and chain from elsewhere.

 

I've always been a Stihl man, but at the mo they are having a lot of quality issues. If I had my money to spend again I might be tempted by the other side. See if you can see them side by side, get a feel for them.

I bought one fairly recently with both the 48" duromatic (which is actually 47"...:sneaky2:) and a 46" Sugi from Messrs Jones.:001_smile:

 

The Added money the saw cost with the Stihl bar as opposed to the bare saw+Sugi was quite a bit less than the value of the Duro bar.

 

So, I bought the saw with two bars, flogged the Duro on EvilBay and ended up with the shiney bar + two chains for less than the saw+Duro:001_smile:

 

 

Not had it for long enough to give you a proper review but it's a big step up from the 660 in weight to lug around...
