    :ups:The Stihl dealer phoned me today to tell me my new MS 661 with the 28" bar is in, assembled and ready to go home with me. But with over a foot of snow on the ground and temps hitting -8 tonight and down to -18 tomorrow night it's gonna be a couple of days before I get out to pick it up. I know those aren't bad temps for some of you folks but for me in Kentucky its awful! :shiver: I ain't coming out of my nice warm hole :dennis:for nothing, not even a shiny new 661!

    I was over there today picking mine up the roads was good. The didn't even charge me to adjust the carb on mine. I haven't put a drop of fuel in the 441 it's been a week today that I bought it. Can't wait to see the picks of that new beast you got

    If you can go today it's looking like the better day so far. I seen a 661 over at idea I had to go buy a bale of straw. Someone already pre ordered and paid almost for all if it. It's one bad looking saw I think your going to love it. It's a biggun

    I saw that. It's been there almost 3 months. The guy there said he would phone me if the buyer didn't come in a week and get it. He never phoned so I went to Cottingham's and bought one.

    Hey, go into Ideal and offer to buy it for the unpaid balance plus 10%. It could be your lucky day!
