    :D Wife and I are on a 10 day vaca in 2 weeks. Wonder what she'd say if I told her we needed to stop by Oklahoma to help a guy saw up a tree? :whistle:

    I have a buddy that owns a tree service that’s gonna let me borrow his stihl ms881 with the 60 inch bar on it to take the trunk down. I’m pretty excited and kinda intimidated to run this saw. It’s massive!

    Oh yeah, that'll do it. You'll be sore the next day too. :) I milled with a friends ported 880 once. It was like a tractor plowing through the wood.

    Don’t know how big an 881 is, but I do have a 181, only 32” bar.
    What part of Oklahoma, I’ll probably be heading there in about a month

    881 is the biggest saw stihl makes. 121 CC’s. It’s massive! I’m in south central Oklahoma. About an hour and a half southeast of OKC.

    Hopefully your back holds out too. That's the real deal there when it comes weight! Have fun with the 881, that'll be an experience for sure.

    Wanna see pics of you and that 881 in action. Not too often seen on here. My 500i at 79cc is the most powerful saw ive ever run. Cant imagine 121cc's
