    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...

    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??? Thanks for all the great replies. Yes i do want to have a play around with it, im really interested to see what this saw can cut like with a small bar. Is there a 3/8 pitch rail and sprocket which will go straight onto this saw then??

    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???

    [ QUOTE ] Consensus is, the 441 is underpowered for its weight. If quick service and parts availabiity isn't an issue, try the Solo 681 or Dolmar 7900. Both are lighter and will walk all over a 460...and, of course, a 441...and cost a lot less as well. Like them even better than the 372 Husky...

    [ QUOTE ] The differences between the two are major and many. I prefer the extra power of the 460, personally. Yes you will see a 461, 661, 881. You will see a 362, and 442 before those though. There are 7, and 8 tooth sprockets available through Stihl, and most other suppliers. You can buy...
