Stihl ms880

[Andy Collins]

On the beech we took down yesterday, the 660 was cutting at the same speed as the 880, couldnt separate them side by side, I was actually impressed by its ability again. 0f course the 090 rocks too:thumbup1:

If you are going to use a 660 for milling, I suggest getting:

 

1. High output oil pump. Stihl part number 1122 640 3201.
   See http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/23734-ms-660-oiling-probs.html
   
2. Heavy Duty (HD) Air filter and pre-filter. Stihl part numbers 0000 120 1654 and 0000 141 0300 respectively.
   See http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/8589-ms660-ms460-air-filter-upgrades.html and http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/22974-hd-air-filter-ms660.html

There is also a new updated MS880 out there now. Has bolt on muffler etc.

 

Might want to try to find the newest version if buying new.

I think I'm going to go for the 660. The only question is where to get it from. My local dealer is over a hundred quid more expensive than F R Jones. The trouble is that F R Jones are too far away. Might have to ring them this afternoon and see if I can persuade them to send it via courier.

Get the Dual Port front OEM muffler cover with it, if it isnt on it.

 

Then when your warranty is out, open the rear pencil eraser sized outlet on the back right muffler case to the size of the deflector. Then drill out or cut out the center cage baffle on inside back of muffler. Make sure carb is re-tuned afterwords and you will have the 660 back where she should be before EPA choked them down.

Like the saw dogs on your saw - are they custom and did you make them?

I won them at TH in a drawing to give them away. I think they are the dawgs Baileys sales.

If I remember rightly, Jones have several "satellite" companies around the country, so there may well be someone nearer than you think. Pm Jonesie on the forum and I'm sure he'll be able to help you. or click on this link: http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/about/uk-wide-outlets/
