That’s a good size, if it can reasonably pull the chain with the nose buried in hardwood. The 084 I owned was not the fastest saw in the world, with the factory sprocket, but I’m pretty well convinced it could pull .404 chain thru an I-beam. Felt like I should be riding the thing, not holding it!

Those are some serious saws! Most here will never hold a saw much over 60cc. Even a horsepower junkie like me ended up trading my 084 down to an 064 (85cc), just more fun and nimbler, for the felling work I’m usually doing with it. The 084/088’s are awesome for milling, but awful big to lug around in the woods.
Reading this forum, it seems most here are running 50cc saws, and you’ll even find many posts praising the power of little MS 250/1‘s!
I’ve never even seen a 166! Is that a Sachs? Does the damn thing come with wheels and handlebars? VIN?

Those motors are so big, they make those mid-size bars look almost comically small. For anyone following along, no... those aren't 14" bars! They're just huge saw motors.
Must be like a friggin' light saber through warm butter.

Looking at those saws and thinking back too the 60's with our old blue Homelite I think it was a Zip. Heavy slow hard starting smokey but a dang sight better then the alternative.
My father would drop our firewood and maybe lope off the larger branches, and I'd go along with a double bit axle and delimb and trim. We would keep everything down to about 3 inch in diameter.
Often times skidding logs out to the log yard next to the wood shed to cut up later with the belt driven buzz saw.
Don't miss that a single bit.

Yeah, true dat.
My Homelite Super EZ Auto was 41 cc displacement. My Stihl 084 and xyz123's Stihl 088's are all 122 cc, literally 3x the size of the Homelites!
What the Homelite had going for it was torque. I don't remember the sprocket size, or if they got it through a longer stroke/bore ratio, but the thing would just keep pulling, better than you'd think a 41 cc saw should. They weren't fast, but they did punch above their weight on torque, compared to modern high speed saws of similar displacement.
16" muffler 84 and 20" on piped 84
on those 84's above. 20 on the piped 3120.16 on this work ported 3120. Also 394 ported using same bar goofing off.
Made a meme from it too.
