    I picked up my new MS 661 C M onFriday but just got time to take pictures. Sorry it took so long but it's my birthday weekend so my wonderful wife had a lot planned for me.
    Enjoy the pictures. I know I'm going to enjoy the saw!

    My new starting lineup: MS 661 CM with a 28" bar, MS 461 with a 20" bar and MS 362 CM with an 18" bar. All new since December.

    Title should read: Now With Pictures. My fat fingers got in the way!
    The 661 came with a roller catcher, my 660 just had the regular hook catcher. Nice addition.

    that is a real nice lineup of Stihl's!! Nice 3 saw plan, real nice!!

    I've been thinking about slimming down to a 3 saw plan, was thinking about going for the 40/60/90cc plan? Instead of the lets "have one" of each size plan I have now :) I dont know if I could go cold turkey though, without some support :)

    It definitely takes time to widdle down to a 3 saw plan. I am down to 4 (well, I have a couple others. But they are loaners).

    That is a beautiful thing!! :dex: Congrats! ! :thumbs:

    I like 2 of your 3 saw lineup. The 461 and 661 are nice. I think you'd be happier with a nice 50cc saw instead of it though.

    looks about like the elm I cut around here on the NE/CO border. I see the four customary tractors in the fence row also :)
