Gutted!!!!!

Had the first outing of my brand spanking 660 today ( cheers Jonsie.....great saw great deal).

 

Fired her up to fell a big old oak, got the gob cut in and went around to do the back-cut, got half way through and hit a NAIL, mullered the chain, had to spend half hour sharpening it up.

 

Bloody hell, it's only down 3 cuts!!!!!!

Did the same on some angle iron when i bought my 395 (less than an hour in my possession). Sods law i say.

[Tree Man Tom]

30mins? What size bar did you have on it?

 

I can generally feel if i hit a nail and can normally pull the saw out without mullering the whole chain not having a dig mate, just interested. I know how much of a bugger it is blunting chains

[welwell]

36 inch bar. Problem was one side several teeth were bent right and seeing as it's brand new we took care over the sharpen to get the cutters the same length.

[Tree Man Tom]

Fairenough mate, i wouldnt have got them all the same length so probably why i would have done it quicker. Fairplay for sticking it out and getting them all right.

[welwell]

yeah you know what its like when it's a new toy!!!

[Mark Bolam]

Feelin' ya pain bro.

 

Hit internal wire ringing up the first butt with mine.

 

Must be the law, I reckon.

 

I find my 660 tip-heavy running a 36", so have switched to a 25", with the big bar kept in the truck for the odd beast.

What a big strapping boy like you in the prime of his young life?!

 

I'd have thought you'd be using 2x 660s at the same time Mark!

Make you right mate, the 36 was for this beast of a tree, and my intentions are to do the same as you. I bet the saw roars with a 25 on it??

Could be worse... lad I worked for a few years ago dropped a brand new, never even cut a tree before 660 30ft out of a MEWP. Was like a briar for a couple of days after. Glad it was him and not one of us.
