Hi Kolby, I enjoyed this video very much and just want to say how much I enjoy your channel. I hope and pray that things go well for you and your fiancé this year. Are you going to get more chickens? When I was a kid, on our very small farm in western Washington state, we had chickens, ducks and geese! And little bantams, to keep the bugs down. Anyway, that’s why I first started watching your channel. Keep up the good work!!

Hi Union County here I got a G660 from Wagners 3 years ago and have loved it, I just ordered direct from China last night and got a G466 for $225, I just could not pass it up.

Have you had it long and hows it hold up

What chainsaw don't have to be tinkered with?

Your full wrap handle is bent I have 10 g660s all have full wrap handles and you can get a saw wrench on the bar nuts that’s why your paint is chipping off.

You are incorrect. Holtzfforma chainsaws are not clones and they are not knock offs. When Stihl or Husqvarna are updating or no longer interested in manufacturing a series of saw, they are bound by trade laws to supply parts for 10 years. They then sell the rights to Holtzfforma who then own those series and manufacture them. That does not mean the quality of the Holtzfforma is as consistently as good as Stihl or Husqvarna, although it must be said husqvarna and especially stihl have had certain ongoing issues themselves. The thing that sets Holtzfforma apart to other chinese chainsaws is you can replace parts on them with genuine stihl or husqvarna parts. That is not to say they are even better than a couple of other chinese saws none of which you have there. I was amused at another video where some lad was complaining about some basic broken parts like rope pulls after he had slabbed thousands of feet of timber, which would happen even to a major brand saw. The crazy thing was he was replacing the faulty parts with holtzfforma parts instead of genuine husqvarna parts. The 70cc version of the husqvarna is the 272xp and is the holtzfforma g272xp

With all that smoke, must be 25:1

Man, you got some mad chemtrails there?

Where did you find a poulan that starts that easy?!😂 good video, thanks!

Thanks for your realistic perspective and view. I get tired of "chainsaw experts" badmouthing these saws because they are not stihl quality. Of course they are not. You're paying 25% of the cost. For non professionals they are great.

Cool video. What do you think of the Holzfforma pro top grade saws with the upgraded name brand parts?

It’ll cut better if you get a ripping chain instead of a cross cut chain.

Wow!!! What are you running in it? I run Echo red armor at 40:1 non ethanol

stihl 009 are 37 cc

Try/use a McCulloch pro Mac 55 for a milling saw and see what you love more Love to see more videos

I built a 660 from a kit. Max flo , gutted baffle , dual port muffler . Replaced the coil , carb and a few other little minor pieces . It's an absolute beast . A few stihl fans have eaten there own words once they see this Chinessium monster Well worth the money

The good thing about those China saws is that you become a expert on whatever model you have by fixing them all the time. Plus there great using them on a dirty job.👍

Great video. I really like my g466. You should do a roaming ducks shop tour sometime - looks like you have a really nice set up there.

Great video !

Build the hell out of them dreams brother!

Now you got a blue sawyers helmet to go with your blue saws. Great video.

I ordered this saw, then bought a pile of OEM parts that supposedly go out quickly, then ordered what the Stihl dealer didn’t have in stock, got all my parts before the saw, which the saw came in like 7-8 days, I never milled, but never babied it & ran like 25-30 tanks through it so far & never swapped out a part yet, idk if I’m lucky, or they are getting better, or people don’t take care of their tools, I run 25 inch bar

Good job! Subscribed

Just bend out the wrap handle a bit

Your attitude sounds like mine. You can't do that- watch me. I made it a goal to seek out college required jobs without a college degree and run circles around those with a degree and then after proving my point, I walk away. To me, it's not about the money. It's to prove a point.

Nice job! Keep doing what your doing and your going to go GREAT!!!

Posion ivy or oak on the tree next to you?

muffler mod , duel port , good tune , sharp chain . Youll be good!! What fuel ratio are you using

I burned up my 070 in a pretty big hurry ;)

Absolutely loved your video...your energy and passion. Blessings to you and your family

Sounds like the top handle saw need grease in the clutch bearing, or it’s already worn out, they jingle like a bell when they need to be replaced

Really informative. You’re a star. Subscribed. Thinking of pulling the trigger on a g880 purchase here.

We bought the Holzfforma G660 with a 36 inch OEM STIHL bar with chisel skip chain for an F2plus chainsaw mill. We went with a Farmertec High Output Oil Pump with a 1.3 mm stroke. We added an OEM STIHL chain adjuster, an OEM STIHL decompression valve, an OEM STIHL Recoil Rotor and a Dual Port Muffler Cover then we ported the Resonator. The saw has paid for itself after the first couple of uses and we are VERY PLEASED. Run it rich and with 32:1 mix. We will put a real carburetor on it if it is necessary in the future, So far so good.

Will a Stihl head work ?

For milling use the 124cc clone. I bullet proofed my kitsaws following Walt at a fleet command suggestions.

I have Holzfforma's copy of 372 with 28 in bar. issues: 1. broken pull cord after about a week of work. 2. I replaced carb with walbro carb, because "stock" one was near impossible to tune up (it required regular adjustment during the work). Other that than - great saw for it's price.

What no follow up

Nice crop of poison ivy?

very wise to realize the saws capability, size up the job. Push any motorized device beyond its design capability and the result is disaster every time.

pretty well presented and insightful. The clone saws are best suited to someone with ability and interest to work out the bugs and perform upgrades. These saws are steadily improving but the issue is inconsistent manufacturing and quality control. A variety of sources in China produce parts, not all are the same in dimension, finish or build quality. These parts are sourced by "trading companies" aka Holzfforma, and they assemble saws from the parts supply. The degree of variation in this path to a finished saw is tremendous. I just bought a copied Husqvarna 372 and a 288. I knew all the probable weak points from massive watching of videos. The first thing I did is invest in OEM or verified good quality aftermarket parts to replace trouble spots...cylinder, piston, crankshaft assembly, carburetors, recoil starters, oil pumps. And when the saws were delivered I never even started them, just went right to a full teardown and rebuilt with upgrade parts. I also brazed in a 1 inch muffler exhaust port to assist breathing and heat removal. I was pretty well impressed with the saw as delivered, but did find several assembly variations that were not so good. Yeah it may seem overdone and to some it defeats the cost savings but that is not so in my thinking. I am still well under half the price of a OEM Husky saw and since I collect and work on saws I am pretty confident these saws will perform and stand up well. These saws I do not believe ought to be run on low oil ratios, stick with 32:1. In milling you will find that heavier oil, tune it to the rich side and removal of the air cleaner cover to allow good heat dissipation will pay off. Get an after market air filter if need be, that is what I did on my milling saw since removal of the air cleaner cover left no provision to use the stock air filter. I milled with a Jonsereds 910E in the 80's and 90's, still running the same piston, rings and cylinder today and it looks ever so good in there!

get yourself a rip chain and keep the saw more vertical

Awesome video young man, enjoying watching, good editing too.

Lose the bracket fence on the inside and find ya the straightest 2x6 or 2x8 ya can should help your pitch off your guide board and should end up with a more square cut to start with

Well at least your up front about it and i really like to see that so i will hear ya out

Good job dude. Keep on doin what your doin. Learning skills and learning about your tools. Good stuff man.

Enjoyed this vid. Useful info and great chic!!

Very nice review. If you haven't modded your muffler on the 660 you should. Get the heat out. Also didn't mention the oil you use. Going to a full synthetic higher flash point oil and or a mix ratio with more oil will allow your saw to operate at a higher temperature without failure.

I have same chainsaw. Have cleared a few acres of thick woods already, many trees over 20” diameter. 3rd year of use now, still going strong.

Oh yeah, I meant to mention in the comment below a channel I've gained some great info from. 👉🏼WRANGLESTAR👈🏼 You'll like him. He's a great guy. You remind me of what he might have been like when he was younger👊🏼 I sure miss being young. But I've learned a ton through the years. God has me right where He wants me. And i wouldn't change that.
