Look at the push break on the MS660 It pushes forward over the exhaust muffler and does not work properly due to the exhaust being to close to the break. Causing the break to become soft.

Husqvarans 385xp - probably the finest chainsaw in existence
Stihl has no equivalent of this saw, ms46 too small ms660 too big.
385xp just right.

Husqvarna 272xp another great saw.
Husqvarna 254 - An arboricultural legend - Stihl took a hell of a beating with this saw.

Stihl MS200T - The ultimate treeclimbing saw, but does have a few problems, not perfect.
I just bought my MS 660 last june and I have never had my kickback bar beome effested becuse of the muffler. Everything is tip top on that thing, een though I use it a couple times a week. When I use it, It get a workout that I couldn't put my other saws through. tried and failed. the got cloged with saw dust and didn't cut fast enough. Even though the faster you go the easier it is to have a accident, but a inch every 30 sec.
With my MS660 I can go about 6" a sec. Thats a major difference. (thats when I'm cutting down a eucalipus or two.)
