The King of Firewood uses new Stihl MS661C for 1st time. In this firewood video the self proclaimed ''King of Firewood'' uses his brand new Stihl MS661C chainsaw for the first time to cut oak top at the firewood honey hole.
Just purchased one an hour ago in Australia, keen to get out the bush an give it a good go. Looking forward to it after watching this video cheers mate 🍻
That saw will just keep getting faster for the first ten hours you use it to. He’s going to like it. I know our dealer here would do that for us as long as the saw was in good shape. Be good joe! 👍
The 661 is a fantastic saw. Bought 2, a couple of years ago and then a 500i, about 10 months ago. (I'm a timber feller, so I use them full time) The 500i, although fantastic, has had a million problems where as the 661's have only had a decrease in power. (and I'm sure it's because of something that I did) I've also smashed one of them twice, with trees and it still works fine, although the wrap handle is a little bent. Getting ready to go buy another one today.
@@JoesFirewoodVideos the 460 is a beautiful saw! My boss had one for years and I accidentally smashed it with a tree last year. (It doesn’t happen as often as I’m making it seem lol) But it still runs! Just needs a new fuel tank.
Bought a used one .going try it .I use 462 for most things it's best saw .out I feel .and have new 500i haven't tried yet.but 462 always gets job done..it's all about weight for me.have hernia
@@Sethhaun78 I prefer the 500i over the 462, any day! I’m using a 462 at the moment but it’s only because I smashed me 500 and they’re sold out in my area 😢 The 462 is great but the 500 is nearly the same weight but with a lot more power and it’s hard to beat that fuel injected feature. Either way, all saws involved are fantastic!
@@paul_romero_ do you have west coast felling and suspension kit with bark box and also important the green oil filter from west coast saws.IF YOUR NOT RUNNING ALL THOSE MODS On your stihl saws all of the saws then your saws are missing out on there potential..the moment i did this to all of my saws they are a complete ly different animal .my 462 runs circles around most saws even bigger ones.the filters are less maintaince,allow air flow increased 80 percent .and bark box cools it better .and helps to increase as well. The suspension kit allows to run a 32 inch bar without being floppy .or 28 or 30 inch or Oregon. Anyone who doesn't do these mods all at once on your saws is missing out bigtime.its that much better .and keeps fined out of the engine and u can run them without covers if desired. I ran mine over fixed bent handle runs like a dream..462 I mean....haven't tried my 500i yet .it's also has all of those modifications except 500i 661 u need to run max flow filters that's only difference I have it ready to go fir back up.hazent had gas in yet ..also if your not warming the saw up and recalibrating,it once in while it won't run full potential because feul filter gets dirty .this isn't a debate .it's a must to do a these things to sthil saws .I talk with mechanics daily get those on the saw. If you don't already .I wouldn't even run a stihl saw without them. That filter set up is 1000 times better .no comparison
Nice 661 frikin awesome hope he don’t break it like he does all his other saws lol. That thing is going to make some blocks right there. You must be paying him good tell you what. Keep on grinding bud fill the yard and then some. Stay safe out there joe And the king.
Yeah he just told me the 460 isn’t running well again and The Saw Surgeon just worked on it. I think it’s how he starts the saw. Guess he’s going to borrow my 291 tomorrow as back up in case the 661 gets pinched.
I love this saw it’s a complete beast. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now and I’m having issues with the saw stalling while I’m halfway through a cut. I’m using the recommended oil mixture and I’m continuously keeping it topped off. Has anyone else had this issue?
After that saw is broke in, throw a full skip on it, take the rakers down and extra stroke with a file and hang on. My 661 is my go to saw and a bad ass one at that!
Looks great! He’s really gonna love it on that job! I know I certainly miss my 066 at times. I’ll have to get another look @ Matthew’s 460... I wonder what’s up with it🤔. Blessings Joe & Matthew!
Joe ive been so busy i missed like 20 of your videos just watched them all lol those 661 are nasty i just got a 362c-m its a nasty saw. Gonna start making firewood videos myself
Have all stihl saws and you need to modifications bark box 1. 2 max flow airliners oil filters .night and day I have all of them.395 xp has always been best big saw on market period hands down. The new 592 xp is better as well. I have modified 500i 462 661cm, 461 and 395 beats all saws.get one before there gone
Yes I was trying to get the 881 it says it can hold up to 41" but they don't have any on stock. So I get these one that says up to 36" and I already have a 32" bar so I will good with that for now. I have old homelite chainsaw couple of 240 and a little red xl for the branches up to 18 inch
@@JoesFirewoodVideos The 251c with an 18" bar is pretty stellar with the ElastoStart feature. Give one a try if ya haven't already. Just remember that it don't need to be yarded on.
That’s the way I feel about my 372. There’s no way in hell you can run a 28” on a 372 without utter frustration. And I’m not talking about cutting fir trees. Hardwood all day everyday. 372 falls short. You guys look like you need some practice. Buy an 880 next week.
Joe's Firewood Videos my left side is actually weaker than my right from running a chainsaw for so long. I have to be conscious of it and try to make it somewhat equal, although unlikely. You take for granted how many hours you have on a saw when you work for production tree care/land clearing companies.
@@JoesFirewoodVideos Love the ease of how it goes through hardwood like a hot knife through butter. I'm waiting on getting a 24" bar n skip chain to play with the files a bit. Like a surgeon with these things lol
@@JoesFirewoodVideos Oh. The ease of how it starts. Two minor compression pulls and hit the decompression valve... Ya. It's my SDS (Social Distancing Stihl) lol
Been flogging one for four years in NNSW and apart from the dogs rattling off and a bit of a hole in the cover after being slack cleaning it after palms and a bar that just died.. It's going good as ever. Ten out of ten.
Joe, I can’t believe that you actually said “ he starts the saw like a girl” AND THENYOU WENT ON TO RIDICULE HIM BY HOW HE CUT THE LOG. Starting the saw with the method he used is the safest method for a guy operating a new to him saw. And he should not have been bullied.
