I've had one of these saws for a few years now, and at the beginning the bolts holding the dogs on rattled loose just like that one. I put it back together with Loctite, gutted the muffler and it works great. It does come setup way too rich from the factory, and it took mine about ten tanks worth of fuel before the rings fully seated and it got to full power. Aside from the dogs loosening up, the only problem I've had so far is one of the springs in the clutch went missing so the chain would spin at idle. Cheap easy fix. For the price of it's been a good machine.

That, for me, is nice when you’re in that bigger stuff. Plus, being able to run a substantially longer bar is nicer for not having to double cut as much,

As a man of 48 y/o who started cutting at 18, and has cut more timber than all but very few still upright. I will never understand why anyone would drag a damn 32" or 36" bar around the woods to cut them 20ish inch pecker poles. All you ever need on a tree up to 5' in diameter is a 20". That is if you can cut timber. Anything more is wasted fatigue and an injury in the making. And this stand-up and buck crap is BS. Im about 6'1" with my boots on, and I don't have to bend over to trim right on the ground. I guess im just not cool. But my bars are cheaper, chains are cheaper, file it in less than 3 minutes running skip, bars last longer, and im not carring an extra 5 pounds and trying to hold it straight out in front of me. I guess im just not cool.... but this fad didn't start till that stupid axe men BS was on tv. I would hate to think someone got killed in the woods just trying to look cool. Okay now, all you short bar haters can let me have it, I don't care, but when you are pushing 50 year old like me and you have cut 4 million bf a year, not counting the pulpwood tonnage and you can't even roll out of bed in the morning because of your worn out body you will wish you had listened to me. Which when you see a video where they are cranking the saw before every tree they cut almost, then they are not pushing it too hard anyway, because the majority of the time my saw doesn't cut off till it runs out of gas.

🎉I've had the G660 Pro (carbon fiber) 2 years with the Nikasil cylinder, Meteor piston, Walbro carb and put on an aftermarket muffler and a high output oiler to run 36" and 42" through 38"-40" knotty pine. Tuned and running hi-test and VP full synthetic at 40:1. It screams and no bogging 11,000+ rpms in the cut. I see no need to port it. The bad is the pot metal chain adjuster. Chinese contractor f up.

I'd personally love to get to go out and fall a strip like that with any one of you guys sadly I'm stuck with cutting and selling firewood

There is definitely a big difference between the blue and the souped up Stihl, I suppose most of that is the "soup up" job but still there is a big difference

My G660 has been great for milling I don't make a living with the saw and couldn't even afford a used ms660 when I bought it. Clones are a bit cringe but the parts they are made of keep a lot of old STIHL's alive, oem parts arent always financially viable or even attainable sometimes.

For the price the things cuts nice. I might grab one for that price
