    new purchase Stihl MS 441 or 460

    Yeah, the two top handled saws are Stihl 08S's. Made in the 60's , they are good old saws, they cut alot slower that modern saws, but are very solid, all metal no plastic. They have got us out of the [bad word] a few times! The one with the 20" rail was my granfathers, its been in our family...

    [ QUOTE ] Hello I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this saw and could give me some information as far as displacement or what not. There is one for sale locally that is pretty inexpensive but I was wondering if there are any problems with this saw or anything at all. Thanks [/...

    Stihl MS 880 15-18" bar availability???

    Re: Stihl MS 880 15-18\" bar availability??? [ QUOTE ] The bar is not "jimmy rigged" on. It is a stock bar from Stihl, that comes with the caution that you have to drill. Loads of people play with their 880's like this, although a 16" is a LOT more common on a 660/066. Yes there is a 3/8"...

    Re: Stihl MS 880 15-18\" bar availability??? [ QUOTE ] let me re-phrase the original posters question: "Hi, I am running an MS880. Is there any way to jimmy-rig a bar designed for an 021 on it?" It's just silly. Have you ever seen anybody with an 066 or an MS880 with a 15" bar? No, because...

    Stihl MS 880 15-18" bar availability???

    Re: Stihl MS 880 15-18\" bar availability??? [ QUOTE ] Seems a really foolish idea, a waste of fuel and putting hours on a big saw running and cutting very little. A smaller higher rpm saw would out cut the 088 with a minature bar. [/ QUOTE ] What stihl model do you suggest then???
