Nah no need for an 880 as the 660 is big enough. Much difference between the 661 and 880 then ??

It's a 660 I have too, too early to tell, I've cut a few big rings (no more gay jokes please) with the 880, seems an animal to cut with the 404. 

When I get to milling with it I'll post my progress. I'm expecting an improvement in speed on stuff the 660 could have handled anyway, but it was bought for the few bits that were too big for anything else.

Could be a while before I get it set up as were blowing the alaskan budget on a respray for the camper at the moment.

Thanks for your posts.  I have decided to manage with my 660 which is more than heavy enough to carry up very steep banks !!!!   

Off Topic.    Bank so steep I have found it slightly easier to throw a long rope down to the winch, hook the rope on to the  winch cable and lug wire rope up,by standing still and just heaving rope up the hill  !!!  

The winch cable pulley attached to the bottom of a standing  tree trunk has been a great piece of kit to stop lengths of wood running away, and sliding down hill and getting wedged behind standing trees!!!!

See if you can pay the duty up front so the consignment doesn't get hooked up by the customs. That way you know what you are in for. Look for GSP or Global Shipping Programme or look at 20% VAT on top of the local duty and the handling charge!

spud. have u got a coil for an 064. regards struie.

These guys are showing stock on their site, and free delivery. £1565 inc vat with a 36” bar and chain

For the most demanding challenges and extreme conditions when harvesting big timber, the STIHL MS 880 meets the demands

Just spoke to them and they are receiving a fresh batch of MS880’s end of the month. £1635 inc vat with a 48” bar, so £250 cheaper than the ebay advert with a bigger bar. Obviously if you spec the smaller bar then its cheaper again!
