Stihl ms661 vs 880

[wilko560]

What are people's opinions on which is better the all singing and dancing 661 or the reliable 880 ??

I've never seen a reliable 880 !

mines lever let me down!

 

I don't really see theres any comparison to be made, 2 different beasts. If you need an 880 then its better, if you can get away with a 660 then thats all you need.

Had this conversation twice today, most 880s and 3120s remain unused as the 395/660s are just more useable and do pretty much what their bigger brothers will do so if you had a 661 and 880 in your arsenal, the 661 would get used 10 times to the 880s once!

Exactly Spud, 880 comes out rarely but when it does it's the unequivocal tool for the job - 660 is more an everyday saw, very capable at 36" but to be honest mostly lives on 25" so the 372 can be demoted to 18" leaving 550/346 on 15" then toppers.
