    I have been on the fence about adding another saw to my small collection. I had a ms 260 with a 20" bar followed by a 361 with a 20" bar. My big saw was a 461 that I usually run a 25" bar on occasionally a 32". I have been tossing the options of porting my 461 vs buying a carburated 661. My local shop said there were a couple of the standard 661's left at there distributor. I decided since they wouldn't be produced anymore to take the plunge and ordered it with a 32" light bar. I have used it this last week on some red oak and it hasn't disappointed. I will try to get some pictures.

    Now the next step is to get them all ported :D:saw:

    I’ve only got two ported saws. Can’t seem to figure out what to delete on my little dewalt 20v for more power.

    Awesome. Ive though of getting a 661 or earlier version to my hoard, but the 500 with a 36" bar gets it done. I seldom cut bigger wood. If a great deal on a used 661 came my way i may pull the trigger.

    Wanna see pics Wingshooter
