Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very reliable. Depending on cap, fueling is easy. I believe in my 66. Very good for felling trees, bucking and cutting fire wood. Used on all summer last year. High school student use it for bucking contests in forestry. May 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by All the power you need Tons of power all the way through the power band. Weight is a bit heavy but thats what you get with a 92cc saw. I run a 32" .063 Oregon reduced weight bar with full wrap. When you pick up saw by handle its perfectly balanced. Also got a 42" Oregon bar with .063 full skip chain and 660 spins it no problem even if whole 42" bar is in wood. Added the OEM stihl dual port and, maxflow filter, oversized dogs, pro safety aftermarket full wrap, then tuned carb and I couldnt ask for a better felling/bucking saw. Bit pricey but well worth every penny. March 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Perfect saw for weight, balance,power and dependability! I purchased the MS660R with a 32" bar and have found it to be a perfect bucking saw as well as a faller. I purchase all of my larger powered saws with the wrap handle as I find it easier to control. The air filtration system on the 660 is outstanding and requires minimal maintenance. Overall, the MS660R is an OUTSTANDING saw to own and operate! If you like high powered saws, this is one you will want to own. February 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Overall Good saw, but it's better with minor tweaks. I loved my MS 660, until it got roasted in a truck that burned to the ground. The saw has a very healthy power-band and is ideal with a 24"-28" bar in hardwood. You can run longer than that, but I highly recommend that you run a semi-skip or full-skip chain when doing so, for proper chip expulsion and cutter bite. The Saw does very well in hardwood, but bogs a bit running a 36" bar. If you really want to run that long of bar, you would be better off running an 880. The 660 has a wonderful power-to-weight ratio though, and the 880 is a lot heavier. The saw is a bit thirsty but you don't buy a 90cc saw for limbing. The saw does run VERY hot with the factory "EPA" tuning. Once the carb is properly re-tuned and the exhaust is opened up a bit, it is an entirely different saw. After performing the aforementioned mods, I used the saw to take out several Burr Oak, Red Oak, Honey Locust and Osage Orange trees on a friend's ranch over a period of three years. When you have a genuinely large task ahead of you, this saw is a wonderful choice. I would highly suggest however, if you want to run a longer bar, that you buy the Wrap handle version as it has a higher displacement oiler that is much better at protecting the bar. Overall, I do not regret the purchase and will likely buy another 660 when funds allow, unless the MS 661 comes out before then. One last note, the air filter has a pre-cleaner sock. If you blow the sock out at every gas-up, it will run much more cleanly and you;ll get a lot longer spark plug life. This goes for all saws though. January 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very powerful and has a great sound A must have saw for every pro tree service ! I have at least 5 other Pro grade saws including my first one, an 026 that I bought for Hurricane Hugo and it still runs great and is over 20 years old an never been rebuilt. January 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by same saw as my 066 this is the perfect saw if you know what you are doing and are good with a saw. October 30, 2012
