also i run both the 391 and 661 on either 20" or 23" bars for every day use, if i need to i have a 32" for the big trunks for the 661. anything over 32" i break out the old 051 or borrow a 880 but thats very rare

 

What's the biggest bar you run on your 051 and How does it pull.

Thanks

We have a 661 and it is poo on a 30 inch bar, it's gutless in big wood.. Might just be a bad egg?

If have thought so, I've got a 461 and it's brilliant on a 25 so the 661 should be fine at 30.

 

You have remembered to sharpen it right?!

I went into fr Jones with an open mind between the 461 and 661, completely prepared to buy either and came away with the 461. I have had no reason to regret it as with an 18inch bar it is fine for day to day use and it pulls the 25 inch bar lovely, I have cut up more than 1 4ft trunk with it.

I once run a 441 on a 25" bar and thought it coped well, I normally use a 660 but it was in for repair at the time.

i have a 460 with a dual port muffler which adds around .75 HP, which means its around .25 HP less than a 660!!

a mate used it who has a 660 and loved the 460 and now wants one!!

oh and it has heated handles!

 

i've got 20, 25 and 30" bar for it

Hi muttley The 051 has two bars a 25" and 30",and when the saws not playing up it pulls like a train,

One of the reasons I bought the 661 was due to breakdowns and of the 051 but the 051 is of a similar age to me if not older ??? And parts are getting harder to find and bloody expensive
