Biggest bar people run on a 660?

[mendiplogs]

does everyone run 404? 3/8 would be better as I have a roll of chain! surely it would be best to cut with .325 because its just a thinner cut?

 

HI CAP i have some STIHL 404 3/4FT CHAIN for sale thanks jon

That photo always looks fake, I know it's not but it just looks like someone's stuck a second bar in the top of the stump 😁

Are you insulting my bar-hood Jon? I'll have you know that's an 88in bar, not a mere 6ft

 

I was going to take a photo like miker's avatar, but I reckon getting my wife to hoist the thing upright could be a bit of a challenge.

Yeah, you're right, it's not a mere 6 footer, it's a 7 footer

My bar is older though! As is my 090! Just had it fired up, the roar can't be matched!

With a 5' bar the over-all height is over 6'6" so I imagine you'd be pushing 9' tip to tail! Roller or hardnose?

Not quite sure on the age of that 090 - I vaguely recall it's stamped on somewhere (exhaust?) but I haven't looked. The bar is a 1970s Cannon with a roller nose (not sprocket). Yes it's around 9' overall - the van in the picture is actually Luke Quenby's - I drive a Volvo estate and even with the front seat wound flat it still isn't long enough to take the saw and bar together.

 

Sorry - derailed the thread somewhat. 36" is the longest recommended bar for the 660 but a 42" works fine, especially for milling where it isn't running full length. The oiler runs out before the power. You can run 3/8" or .404" - it really doesn't make much difference to the saw kerf. Chainsawbars used to have them but Oregon stopped supplying so 36" is now the longest available from them.
