Drooled over this for awhile.....

Never saw an 880 before and let me tell you that is one heck of a saw! I couldn't even imagine lugging that bad boy around all day.......

Some day I want to run one of these things just say I did lol

 

That looks like a nice saw Certified106! I have been researching the larger Stihls for a bit now.

I think the weight would be too much for me to work for very long on many of them. And the prices are scary on the big ones. (Actually they are scary on all of them!)

I am looking around and thinking of getting one that is bigger than my MS290 Farm Boss. At 56.5 cc, it weighs in at 13 lbs. for the power head. I use an 18" bar and chain on it.

I'm considering moving up to an MS461 R. At 76.5 cc it would weigh in at 15.2 lbs. And I would probably use a bar and chain that is 25". That would be plenty big enough for me.

My MS290 is big enough for most of what I cut.

Hey. Who knows. Maybe if you ask nicely, Santa will bring you one of those!

 

I wanted an 084/088 for the longest time for a big stump saw, milling saw and just to say I had 12o something cc saw... let me tell you, after taking 3 smashed or melted saws and putting one together and then buying all NOS parts, I had well over 1100 bucks in it and it was pointless. I used it 4 times and sold it for 1K. My ported 660 does everything I needed it to. Other than bragging rights, or a dedicated mills saw, there isn't much practical use for one around these parts. It was fun with a 25" bar, but still weighed about 987lbs. in 30" and under wood, you be hard pressed to tell a real usable difference in a good runnig 066/660/395. racing these monsters is another story.



look at the size of the powerhead compared to a 660...

 

Oh I know this is not a practical saw and there is no way I can justify this on any level. I'm pretty sure I will never own one but it is still a pretty impressive saw and man is it big and heavy lol

 

Just looking at saw's that big make's my back hurt

 

I've run one a couple times & didn't like it at all.

 

Pretty cool but I prefer my Mac 125C & eventually will have an 090 also.

 

084 is much better stock. I've had a few of the big stihls and a 3120. They are good for milling and big wood with a 42"+.

 

you don't want a saw that big...


Fixed it for you.. ha. your back will thank me in a few years

 

I didnt even notice it. I had to go back and look for it. I know you werent calling that blue one old??

 

no, he had a good eye. was a quick pick of he 084 before I sold it. My garage has been a storage unit since I moved because I travel so much. I had MAD long before CAD. my father and I had a restoration business for the 1964-1970's. The white 1966 was my first mustang, completely redone it twice, will have a 2013 5.0 EFI motor when it is all said and done (or if I hit the lottery a 2014 GT500 drivetrain) I've owned 29 mustang to date.. the red 66 is my brothers that I was apposed to store for 3 months. its been almost 3 years. the red 86 is a buddies too. I want my garage back...





only good current pic

 

And I drive Chevy trucks....

 

What

 

Yup...just like having a few stihls and some husk's.... You probably can imagine how much crap I've gotten over the years being a mustang dork with silverados...

My "new one" with only 130k.



My old one... Had 298k on it when I traded it in. Really miss that one. It was paid for,would pull anything, got 20-22 mpg and had more power than the "new" one. My work truck was in for warranty work and just happened to find the new one used so I gave the loaner back and bought the 08 used and trailered my 2000 back in, sight unseen on trade

 

I owned a 3120 for over 20 years, sold it just this year.I have also used 084's a good bit.Both are great saws.
