Hey all, I have a few Stihl chainsaws that I'm selling. I don't know how much interest there would be but I thought I'd throw them up here and see.
Stihl 044-rebuilt the lower end, top end has new rings, honed cylinder. All bearings replaced with Stihl brand stuff. $500
Stihl 460-Same as above $575
Stihl 660-This one has about 5months on it, really good shape. $800

There is obviously more to discuss on any of them if there is any interest we'll talk. Too much to type and I don't know if anyone on here would like any of these.

I still have my Stihl 066 with a 36" bar for big stuff, but have switched to Husky 455 and 550 saws for general work.

All pro saws. Not sure if he listed them as powered only or with bars, but the 440 will pull a 24" bar, the 46 will go 28 and the 660 will pull a 36".
All three are among stihl's (or huskys)finest.

Haha!!

I use them all for racing, they all make good power with enough work done to them. Husqvarnas are just easier to work on for me.

Where I work we use Huskies, at home I use Stihl! We would use Stihl at work but the local dealer is a pain.

When your Husky's break you can us Electrolux vacuum cleaner parts. Lol

Real loggers use Stihl

You will NOT see any Stihl saws for sale in the big box stores,

But you will see Huskys.

These are pro saws! The 044 is actually a rare 'west coast fallers' model. It was one of the early models for west coast cutters. It has mahl cyl.
I ran up to 32" bars full comp on the 044, 046 (460) size saws. The 044 really shines with a 28". The 066 will handle any Bing you put on it. I've used 48"+ bars on them. I grind my chain so they really cut. Any of thes saws will cut most any tree you want. Especially the 066.

Husky's are decent saws too, I cut with guys that ran husky but not too many of them. The older ones had a better power to rate ratio and ran real well.

Powerheads only. I can put bar and chain too but the shipping is hard, would require two separate packages. Do yourself a favor and run the Stihl lite bars. Soo much nicer, tougher too!

I'll post some pics, seems to be more interest than I thought.

Exact opposite for me. I can tear a Stihl down and split the case and pull the crank in 20 minutes. I can't get a husky carb off in that amount of time. I am impressed with the 455 husky. It's a nice light little screamer. The balance on the husky's killed me. When you're cutting all day balance makes a difference! I ran a 660 shaved an ported with a 32" lite bar and full comp chisel, 7hrs a day, 6 days a week, no problem! Must of the husky's I cut next to were constantly broke down... It's a ford, dodge, Chevy type of thing. All the pro saws are good except for the new EPA Crap. These older carb saws are going to bring s premium!

All good saws. Unfortunately, I already have more than I can use.

Passed this info along to a buddy of mine who has been looking for some better saws. I sent you a PM with an offer from him on the 460. I don't know much about these but he is always using his saws. Merry Chritmas!
