I’m sure it is. Our 661s run with a 36” bar, which is about the biggest they’ll pull around here, but they’re plenty. Only two or three times have I ever truly had a use for something bigger. We talk about buying an 880 with a 48” on it, but in reality it would be a $2k shelf ornament in the shop because it would never actually go out when it was needed anyway. We sure aren’t going to put on on every truck!
Completely wrong info on 585 592.
The wood splitter guys are great. They never even bash each other just give the other company a different option. One of them will go onto Facebook pages even if someone is trying to make their own splitter. He gives them recommendations on flow and varying parts.
You could always buy used and save some money. That’s how I bought my 3120 $800 still plenty of life left.
We could, but I am not a fan of buying used saws, as professionally used saws are usually pretty worn out when they’re sold, and we tend to use them too much to fool around with them when they get balky. I think the oldest saw here is less than three years old.
Have you run an 881 for an extended period of time? If not, I would strongly suggest you do so before you make a costly mistake. An utter P.O.S. is stock form.
I have run the 880, but the new 881 is supposed to be better. I do want to try one before laying out that much cash. Problem is, Husqvarna isn’t a good option here even if the 881 is not what it should be. There’s just no real good Husky dealers close by.
How much dealer service do you use?
Not too much, but enough I don’t want to have to drive an hour to get to a dealer. And it’s nice to standardize everything, makes our own repairs and the parts we stock more convenient.
