Excellent saw! I love mine...especially once she was broken in. Let her loose on some oak...she was born to be free! Merry Christmas!...and congratulations!
did some freehand timber 6x6 cutting with a chalkline and my 555 yesterday, surprisingly easy and accurate. Learning to build freestanding structures without fasteners...fun learning new notches and tricks of the trade! Amazing what you can build with a chainsaw and minimal tools! cheers from northern Canada.
@@Femalelumberjack Building something with your own hands is very gratifying! Do it! Leave yourself plenty of settling space above your doors and windows, log and timber structures shrink and settle more than one might think...had to help Dad make a log sauna for Mom...it was the one criteria she imposed before moving up north, lol. Finns luv their saunas...cheers!
With the 36" bar it's definitely worth knocking the oiler restriction pin down. Small pin punch and the pin is next to the adjuster screw for the oiler underneath the saw. You'll find it doesn't quite oil enough, drive the pint down and it only needs a little more adjustment to oil better.
Nice Graduation present,Wow.... Man beautiful saw... I have had my 395 Xp with 36 inch bar and my 372 Xp with 20 inch bar for at least 16 years now. They still run great . They have cut some big stuff.. well I broke down the other day and purchased a 390 Xp . I feel just like you feel with that beautiful new ms661. BTW very good job on your achievements
I found my 661 feels perfectly balanced with a 28" stihl lightweight bar. Just a thought if you decide to use it for more than just milling. Congratulations on completing your education and congratulations on the saw.
Mine came with a 32” regular bar. I hated it. Bought a 25” Lightweight and it is sick! Almost purchased the 28” lightweight on a gut feeling. Bought a 500i today and for some reason it came with a 32” lightweight. I pulled it and switched to the 25” lightweight. Close to perfect. Maybe keep a 20” lightweight too for it. The 32” lightweight on the 661 is much better, but still front heavy. So again thinking 28” lightweight.
Congratulations! That's the best graduation present ever, you sure have earned it! Merry Christmas and happy new year, best wishes and hopefully many more female lumber jack videos! 👍👍💪💪😎😁❤️💖
Congratulations to you on your graduation. That’s quite the saw. You must of had a good breakfast to start that great lookin saw. I’m not sure I could manage to. Do it. Keep up the great videos. Merry Christmas to you.
Highly recommend porting the exhaust and down sizing the bar to work the MTRONIC chip in. I blew up 3 before I got it right. Stihl helped me out with the parts. Be safe kiddo 🙏
Its my goto saw. For milling with a 36 inch bar just like yours and for felling I change to a 25 inch as it ballances better. Its as you know a little nose heavy with the 36 inch bar but I am on the lookout for a 36inch light weight bar like the oregon power match or similar. then I'll use the long bar all round. You will love that thing.
When starting a brand new saw with new bar and chain good practice to pour a good amount of bar oil over that chain and bar, lube it up good.... that's just steel on steel for many revolutions until the oil finally gets through and oils bar and chain properly. Same when changing a chain or cleaning bar rail out etc. Nice saw I have the 660 great saws. Have fun and be careful with it.
No its not dude.. thats totally unnecessary and just a good way to oil all over you, the new saw and everything within slinging distance. The oiiler is sufficient to the chain and bar , thats what its designed to do.. now its bot a great idea to slap a new bar and chain on fire up the saw, and stick it immediately in some wood. But she did just as she should.. put it on and run it free for a little bit.. that oils everything just fine.. always somebody that got something to say ... I guarantee you she knows more about saws and trees than you.. and its immediately evident because shes not dumping bar oil all over the place to " lube it up good".
@@no.step.on.snek.2423 I think I worded it wrong and you have taken it in complete wrong context. What I should have said is put a little oil over bar and chain not drench it as you have taken it. It never flings off all over the show lol, You don't sound very well educated in saw maintenance so I'll give you a pass. It's good practice as many loggers have passed on. Don't assume I don't know anything either I have 11 saws and keep them all in good condition. It's just a tip so I don't care about what you think, Can take it or leave it. Good bars are expensive and worth looking after.
Happy Sunday! Recently purchased same saw. Soon will run. What is your choice of fuel and oil mix ratio for first few tanks of fuel? Thanks much appreciated.
Nice video! It’s nice to see your enthusiasm for the hobby. I have a MS341 that needed some rebuilding, and MS170 that I completely rebuilt - bought it as a box of parts lol. Previous owner melted the piston from running it lean. One tip while starting cold Stihl saws in my experience, is to put full choke on and pull until it “pops”, then half choke - should fire on first pull every time. Will make starting them a lot easier, especially that big saw.
Well I purchased the ms 661C-M for the felling Side of things. It’s my go to saw for the big stuff however I haven’t got to run it yet as Stihl has all light bars on back order. So once the bars come in I can’t wait to use it. Thanks for the review and the post. Since having the ms 661 could you do a review on it? Thanks
That's a really nice saw, hope you're able to help a lot of people with it. Can't wait to see all the milling machines you try out, so many to choose from. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work.
So glad you like your new 661-we've got the ms660 with a 36" & a 30"bar &its no fun to use all day cutting with the long bar!!-but it has pure grunt for sure &doesnt bog in really big hard woods!-enjoy? Mark x
@@shauncatlett6066 yeah if you go the 404 setup with longer than a 25" bar you need to drill out extra holes in the bar for the locating pin and oil holes, also you need to make spacers for the bar studs, i made mine on a lathe, or you can swap them out with the studs from an ms880
@@Keithskane I wasn't aware of having to do any of that, why is that necessary? I appreciate you sharing the info and appologize if this is a dumb question. Is your saw stock or has it been modded (porting, muffler mod, etc) other than what you mentioned earlier to handle the 0.404 bar and chains?
@@shauncatlett6066 my saw is stock, if you want to run say a 32 or 36" stihl bar 0.404 they are a 3002 part number instead of a 3003 part number, the difference between the two is the 3002 is a 14.2mm spacing and the 3003 is a 12.2mm spacing, the reason you have to drill them out is the holes on the 3002 bar are further foward and you wont be able to tension the chain, as for other makes of bar i dont no if it is necessary, my 661 handles the 32 and 36" 0.404 bars no problem at all but as i mention i had to modify the bar a little by drilling extra holes
Just wait until you get that thing in some big wood, I am always smiling when I have my 660 cutting. You already have the roller chain catcher on that saw, that was the one thing I put on my saw.
Great saw and almost as lovely as you and happy Christmas and a merry new year and the dynamic bt eardefenders r cool too I have these and they r great
Nice new 661...just curious why your using a standard chain on such a long bar...here in the big timber of Oregon USA we use skip chain on the long bars...less down time sharpening the chain...just wondering if you use skip or half skip in Europe...thanks Shoe.
That MS661 looks like a beast. All I have is a Stihl 051 AV with a 30 inch bar that is ported and muffler modded. We need to see you drop some big trees with that.
Omg... you got the “big dog”. I love it but have no use for that one. I guess I’ll be content with my ms462M. Have a great Christmas. Congratulations on your graduation, well done.
If using it for milling, will you be using it to mill 36" wide planks? If using an undersized bar on that 661, one that matchest the width of the lumber you're milling, you get more power and it's easier on the saw.
@@Femalelumberjack Have you entertained the thought of a 9t or higher, custom sprocket? I'm an arborist in Alaska, and a fellow treeworker took a 660(he added another 6 to the number plate dubbing it the "666") with a 10t custom rim sprocket, and a 20" bar, and that thing ripped! Just be sure to crank your bar oiler up all the way. It gives you less torque, but a much faster chain speed, which would be great for a chainsaw mill methinks.
As a saw builder...im farmiliar with the 066 awesome saw...but about to get a 661 from my dad to try it out...im a Sachs Dolmar Jonsereds man but like the Stihls as well
Congratulations on your graduation but more importantly on your new song love seeing women that enthused about milling! Good luck 👍

32 is better stand up and buck
There is almost no reason to run under 32 the 661 can run 36
