USING A MS661 WITH AN ALASKAN MILL

Hello Members.

 

Bought a new MS 661 today - for use with an Alaskan mill and slabbing. Not for me but an experienced son. Also getting the MS 880.

Collected it personally and asked for advice on mills and the options available.

 

Well, was basically told that such a saw was not designed for such use and I would be back with issues, not normally, covered by the warranty ?

 

Seemingly, such a saw does not like being used in this way and will be 'shaken' to death ?

 

We will also have issues with the fuel mixture, bolts coming loose and the air filter ?

 

It was suggested, helpfully, that we consider changing the bar for a smaller pitch and use a rip chain.  

 

Oh, and the best option for us, is to buy a Lucas Mill !

 

What are the thoughts of others please.....

 

Thank you, Mark.
