Title: New Stihl 650
Post by: racer9 on December 13, 2004, 11:45:19 AM

???I just recieved Stihl`s newsletter via E-Mail. What is up with this new MS650? It says all the features if the MS660, but at a lower value price. Is it a home owner version of the 660, or what?
I have never owned a 660, my primary saws are 460 MAGS, and yes ( don`t laugh ) a MS310. What is the difference between a 660, and the 650/ Just wandering what Stihl is up to now.
Thanks, Rod

Hello racer9. From what I hear about Sthil is that they are leaning more towards the consumer type of saws. Don't know if that's a wise move for them. I'm waiting for them to show up for sale at Wally World and Lowes. Ha, wouldn't that be something. Take care guys. Lewis.

From what I can tell (check Stihlusa.com) that 650 is not quite the performer the 660 is. It almost reminds me of the 372xp vs the 365 packages Husky offers.

I asked our Stihl rep about it yesterday. It is a 85cc pro saw designed to bridge the gap between the 460 (77cc) and 660 (92cc) and go head to head with the Husky 385.

A 660 with less displacement. Reminds me of an 064.
