Thanks for the replys! I think I am just sticking with the 660 with a 42 inch bar if I can find one on 3/8s ripping chain !

 

 

It's a little large for that saw, get the magnum muffler at least, although I would recommend speaking to spud

You can get a 3/8" sprocket-nosed 42" bar as per link to ebay.de

 

For chain, have a look at chainsawbars.co.uk on the custom chain loops tab. You can then select the chain you want (Stihl, Oregon or Granberg - for a 660 on an overlength bar I would go for Granberg) and enter the number of drive links you need in the pop-up box.

I can't seem to find it on the German eBay! Any links for quick help?

I have got an old 070 that I need to get running as a back up!

070 is easy to get running, very basic design, bugger to prime the carbs though

I am new to the milling side but I have been an arborist for 4 years now and I have made my own Alaskan mill (use to be a fabricator). I am getting sick of logging good timber and I want to mill it insted! I run a 36 inch bar on my 660 but the timber I need to mill is 40 inch and I know i will lose 2 inch so I am looking at running a 42 inch bar but I would like to know if the saw will run it and the best places to get the bars and what kind!

Cheers Joe

 

In an Alaskan mill, you will loose a lot more than 2 inches effective cutting width. You will loose something like 6 inches on a sprocket nose bar!
