Hey where do you get that wraparound handel to the 357 ? and how long bar can you set on this saw stock?

@MrStihlms260 I made the handle bars. How slow do you want it to cut... 28" small mount is the longest I am aware of that is available at the dealer. If a longer bar is needed then I would suggest a bigger power head.

Have a blessed new year and thanks for watching!

How would this do with that 28" bar buried in ash?

I have never cut an ash tree so it is questionable. This saw does pretty good in our Live Oak trees though. They are very dense, like cutting in a rock pile because of all the silica that gets pulled up.

Thanks for watching!

I have a 066 and my buddy i fall with has a 395 xp thats newer than my saw. His saw will out- cut mine , but I need some tuning right now. He also triple ported his muffler the other day which helped a little. He runs a 36inch bar and i run a 32 inch. Were in wyoming.

Hello. Maybe you could post a video of it cutting? You are working in pretty high elevations so send it to me for modifcations . A nice torque tune zip job would suit it well. You will be much happier with it.

Thanks for watching!

I like your videos. They show something important... I thought stihl 660 is better in hardwood with longer bar like husky. Stihl has 2 rings on the piston so the comression should be better as well as tourqe. I never had any husky I run only on stihl, but I am not disapointed with it :-). Today I rebuild my older 064 ( new rings on the piston and litle bit cleaning..) and it runs like new one. I only use bar up to 63 cm / 25 inch.

for our trees is it good enough.

I will post some video soon.
