Stihl 33RSF - 3/8's" pitch, .050 gauge, full skip chisel.
Has to be sharpened rite. Keep the bar groove clean and the rails square. Wear leg protection, it'll cut with ease.
 
Ya, maybe if ur Paul Bunyan. That would be a hand full!! My reccomondations would be full chisel-skip, .375. You keep your chain speed up and it cleans out well. Won't stick in the hardwoods and big wood. You can cut all day with it since your not fighting it.
 
yes, it was a joke. But you are a tree guy and you are asking what chain to use???? I would suggest you try some lo-pro safety chain on the 660.
Come on, either you are looking for a back-slapping adulation or you just pretend to run a saw.
BTW, I think you made the correct choice on the saw. I'm no stihlhead, but given you current line up, it fits nicely and you can use the same bars as the 460 does.

I agree. Norm has helped me with countless answers to my many questions.

Thanks Norm!

Oh, and sorry to derail the thread.

660 is a good saw. Put the factory available dual port muffler cover on, and richen the carb up, and you have an instant 10%-15% power increase, and it doesnt void the warranty!

That's exactly what I did with my 660 and boy does that work! I have nothing but good things to say about that 660.
