    Looking for a good used Stihl ms660. Does anyone know what kind of a price range I am looking at. And does anyone have one out there they are looking to get rid of?

    Around $500-$750. You could pay more or less than that, but you probably shouldn't.

    I don't have a 660.. I have a 440 that I was thinking of parting with. I hate to. But I don't use it and would rather give it to someone to appreciate. It would be more than $750 though. Pretty rare model being an Arctic.

    I don't mind spending the money but I would like to get a bigger saw with a little more grunt to run a big bar if need
    I don't seem to have much time to work in my shop due to being busy with the kids and cutting trees. But if I can figure out how to upload some pics of some strap hinges I made for my shop I will. I will post it under the DYI section.

    How big is the largest bar you'd hope to run? A 660 is probably best-suited to the 28" - 36" range. Is that what you're aiming for?

    42" on cross cutting is ok. Milling I'd get a 394/5

    I would love to help but the waiting list at Casa Del Davisadumbass is currently at 6 saws for the MS660.
    I have a pair being built and another pair mostly pulled ready for assembly but they are getting more scarce around here.
    I have a Horrible little underpowered Husky 440 with a pretty dull chain I could probably sell :)

    I have a 660 I bought new in 2008. Non commercial use, no milling. Used it for cutting large oaks on private land into firewood. I've been thinking about getting rid of it as I just don't use it anymore, but haven't listed it. Saw is still really clean, I don't beat my saws.

    I can get pictures up this evening, maybe we can make a deal if you're interested.
