Got a new toy...

Stihl MS 661. Any accessories I should get?

Chaps, eye and ear protection, dedicated fuel container, extra chain and one of these-

Once you get a chance to use it, post your thoughts and opinions on the saw. I've been looking at them for awhile and almost bought one last month but an unexpected roof repair pulled the funds out from under me.

Alaskan Mark II, double port muffler, High Output oiler, 42" (or longer) bar and chain, buy the case of Stihl oil to double the warranty if they are still doing that.

Maybe another 661 so it doesn't get lonely

Looking good

We also wear steel screened helmets, not to mention bring a sawyer first aid kit. (ask if you don't know what they are) We always bring spare chains and other garb, so I set plastic tote box up for to carry all necessary tools and supplies into the field.

I'll bite: what's in your 'sawyer' kit?

Its ones with BIG bleed supplies. Bandages and tape etc,etc. We have steptic pads in ours to reduce bleeding.

Like this one. Amazon.com : Sawyer Products SP91 Family First Aid Kit : Sports First Aid Kits : Sports & Outdoors

Nice saw... I'd like to have one, but don't have the funds, nor can I justify one if I could afford it... I can borrow my friends ms650 if I need a real saw. I simply don't do enough timber work... my 2 old 025's get tag teamed and do what I need done around our farm, the lil MS170 lives in the truck tool box for roadside duty.

Thanks for sharing, I've got a real bad case of saw envy!

Awesome beast. I'd love to run a couple tanks through it. My 044 is wild enough for me but I love to look at the Big Saws !!!

Used the saw on a big Red Oak last week. Very impressed with its power.

I have read a couple of places that you can "plug" into the saw with a laptop, anyone know what cable and software they use? And where is the port on the saw?

I-Saw cable and I-Seen Version 1.0, port is near the LCD 7" screen.

Seriously, don't know, but it sounds like most serious motor's controls these days.:thumbsup:
