Well I can tell you one thing! My echo cs800p with a 32 inch bar weighs in right at 25 lb. And it is very nose heavy. I put a 28 inch bar on it. It balanced at all very well. Here in Ohio. 24-in bar is about all you need. My echo 7310 p came with a 28 inch bar. Two nose heavy. I put a 24 inch on it good balance.

Not a 500 fan, nothing wrong with it, I just wanted the cubes of the 661 for stumps and milling slabs with the option to pull a 36 or bigger without wearing it out. I run a 28 inch lightweight on it now and it balances perfectly. Can’t stand nose heavy or tail heavy saws. 661 has been great for processing big rounds of firewood too. Both are great for what they do, but the 661 is for me.

Husky 592 is my current favorite. I do really like the Stihl 462 as well.

A ported 661 is great saw for power and ergonomics

Thanks for the in depth review. I have a potential huge job coming up with huge pine tress that have a 28" diameter for the area that I am in. My Echo 620PW with 27" bars is a good saw at 60cc but I really need to upgrade for this job. I am trying to decide between the 500i or 661 and its been a struggle. I want to run a 32" or 36" bar on it and based on your comments I am thinking the 661. Thoughts or feedback?

I usually dont like to argue with people but I've heard on all accounts of how people don't like how the 500 handles nor the 462

28in is a good all around bar length.

I like it with big dogs cause you get 26 inches or so of bar

462 is a heavy and not worth it. My 661 died today im here because im torn with 661 vs 500

Depends on what u like torq or lightness the 500 is way lighter and the 661 will out torq it but if your just an average cutter the 500 is pretty close and it balances out if u run a shorter bar if u have plans to port it i would pick the 500 they weigh like a 70 cc saw and cut like a 90cc once ported all in all either saw will be a decent saw and it comes down to preference
