Heavy, but crazy powerful

I bought this saw for cutting stumps and bigger wood. I don’t have any other saw to compare it to in this size but I can compare to my 661. I bought this saw with a 48” bar, so it should do whatever I need it to. When I first fired this saw up, I could tell it was gonna be a whole different animal than the 661. The sound is much lower and more of a rumble than the 661. The 881 sounds like a big dirt bike. It’s first day on the job was stumping and ripping some 42” ash stumps. The saw pulls you into the cut and it melted through that ash like butter when stumping. Then I did the ripping sections and it still didn’t bog down, it just tore through it. It has way more power than the 661 and it’s not even close. The 881 is way stronger on big wood than the 661, so it’ll save a lot of time. The only downside is that it’s heavy, but the power is a trade off for that weight.

Been using it for 3 years

Whoa! This is a machine. Haven’t found a wood to hard to cut. Put it in place and hold on it blows right through a log under its own weight. Use quality fuel and there will be no problem starting. Biggest problem I’ve had is running out of wood.
