Mind you it would be really light with a light bar on it!
I'm thinking I might move on my 880 as getting to bloody heavy for me to lug around.
Not even a light bar could help that beast.
Replace with the 900! When it turns up.
It might even get 7mmsaum to change brands!

The only reason I tried a light bar on the 361 is to stop it planting itself when you put the saw down (not that it's a problem). I actually preferred the normal bar for weight in the cut, it made the saw feel weird and powerhead heavy like it needed another 10" (she yelled). I run an Oregon 22" bar (which is a couple of drive links shorter than the equivalent Stihl offering being not so fat) and that's about perfect for the standard oiler. If the chain is sharp it will pull more teeth but it will likely be short for lube!

I have seen and handled an 880, but never used one in a cut. I can understand about the heavy to lug around thing, they are a beast and an absolute weapon of a saw.
