I watch a literal ton of chainsaw videos. I must say I enjoy your videos the most . Honest and relatable for the average Joe. Keep up the great content 👍🏻
Has to be… my fav “I just bought a f660 2 days ago and showed it to my tree service friend and he can’t believe the power” They come stock, factory, with junk parts all these guys are outting themselves People they’re just inexpensive cases for saws IF you could find them people would want your first born for. I smh regularly. These saws wouldn’t last 5 tanks on a tree service truck. Hell most crews don’t even have time to sharpen them. Just go buy a bar and chain slap it on.. cuts like new lol. God damn this new autocorrect listening device bug crap. I’m going to self ban myself from this crap again. We’re just programming ai with all these bot videos designed to get you to comment. To who..?
I got a kit one for free to build as a trial for a holzfforma dealer out east... I replaced the supplies piston with a Hyway pop up and have been running it in ash for the last couple weeks. Probably only has 3 tanks on it but I'll say this might be a pretty decent clone if it holds up. The power is impressive and it does everything it should just like an oem.
I put one of the dukes coated pistons in my 394 and it definitely fit good as OEM they are all I'll buy now if they have one that fits what I'm working on
Thanks for all the work you put in to your videos and the knowledge you share.I think your content is some of the best on TH-cam ,you are my favorite TH-cam channel by far.
I think with some oem parts these 395’s could be really reliable and long lasting. I got mine as a kit saw and ended up doing an oem top end after screwing around with pistons. All in all they’re really nice for the money. Great deal
Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about getting a bigger clone saw but I don't need another saw near 100cc. Any suggestions on a 80cc class saw that's affordable without a bunch of problems
@@novicelumberjack I got it last Thursday and didn't even open it till last night. I guess my thought is that in the world of 572 and 592 xps which feel substantially lighter why did I buy this big ol boat...lol. I have never had a 395 and I figured this was the cheap way to get one. I haven't even poured gas in it yet, everyone says they have a v shaped piston. I will probably big bore it or try a little porting or something. It will more or less be a toy for me, don't think I would try to make a living with it this day and time...lol. They come in at like 23 pounds with a 24 inch bar which is crazy.
I purchased the Wemars 62cc after I performed my due diligence here on TH-cam. They should put you on the payroll because your videos sold the saw for me. Subbed your channel! Appreciate you brother. It's a really solid saw.
Got a G660 clone for a milling stump cutting. You know a “don’t care if it blows up” saw The thing has been pretty good so far I like to use it on jobs where I have loads of large trees to buck into firewood. Overall Putting less hours on my more reliable saws. The oiler is crap though I’m maxed out on the oiler screw and it burns 2 tanks of fuel before you have to fill bar oil..
Try a oil pump off a Husqvarna 395 XP it should all be the same this is basically that saw made by a different company and pretty much everything for Husky should bolt on part-wise
If you do decide to port your 592, the exhaust port's texture is really really rough. It can also take some more intake timing. I did that on my buddies and didn't cut squish or anything and it helped a little bit.
👍 not sure on quality, bought two 288 from Amazon, and they are so much better than the 372 in my opinion. No air leaks from the factory- port and muffler mod them and run em. Amazon has a seller at $239-free ship, how can you go wrong? Not sure if the oil pump will hold up…guess I will see.
I just got done sending back a stock holzfforma G660. And bought a Echo 7310. I was trying to be cheap. Holzfforma pretty much fell apart at first use. You truly get what you pay for. My experience with holzfforma is strictly negative. I’ve learned, after 39 years on this earth, it’s better to buy once, cry once. Holzfforma may be a “mock Stihl.” But it certainly isn’t Stihl quality, or Stihl precision.
Im tryna convince holzfforma to make a clone of the p-41,p-51 and so on but they haven’t responded to my many emails yet👿 shit id send them my own pioneer just so they can make molds of it😂
Are piston supposed to have tapers? This sounds a little odd to me. I imagine people could easily thing so looking at an old piston that has worn skirts but not top and therefore think it has taper but thats caused by something else. But I've been wrong before and maybe pistons do have tapers. Anyway have a good one Boeds. Havent been watching for a while but its good to be back
I own two Holzfforma saw's the G388 and the G288 and both are excellent saw's. I've had the G388 four year's and had to change no a thing I did a mild port and muffler mod running 24" bar. The G288 has 28" bar and a dukes oil pump ported the cylinder and shaved some weight from the piston. I thought about a dukes pop-up piston but have mixed emotions
Im happy with my G288 so far. It does have a small air leak but itll make it. I would get rid of the fammac 372 and get holtzforma. They seem much better to me . Good score
I have an actual 395xp that I bought brand new. I would like to buy one of these and put it right up to my genuine 395xp and see what the differences are if any.
He hasn't been working saws to long I don't think but he is picking it up fast alot of people that didn't grow up around saws run their chains to loose and thay fly off alot then thay go the other way to tight he mentioned he is learning to hand file better so my guess is he hasn't been at it to long but he will figure it out I noticed it first time I watched a few months ago
I watch a literal ton of chainsaw videos. I must say I enjoy your videos the most . Honest and relatable for the average Joe. Keep up the great content 👍🏻
Are holzfforma, neo-tech, and farm-mac all competitors? Or are/were they somehow connected?
I love my holzfforma 395xp... the g 288 is only 239 on amozon right now!
Also the g 272 is about 250 ish
Nice video brother 👍
Very nice!!!! They make a 20” look so dang small. Great deal for $250 also. 👍👍
I've been running a g372xp for 2 years and no issues at all. Things a beast
Lol twice a year

Must be soft wood 🤣 😆 . I’m actually surprised it ran as good as it did.
You are the only tuber that turns the volume down on videos when the saw comes into play. Thank you. Thank you.
Do you like the neo tec or the holzfforma saws better which is better qaulity i like the holzfforma pro stuff really good
So far, I've only had one dud, and that was my 372 Farmmac.
Thanks for all the work you put in to your videos and the knowledge you share.I think your content is some of the best on TH-cam ,you are my favorite TH-cam channel by far.

What parts should be replaced with OEM parts to really help make these saws better?
@@jasonm106 I’d do an oem coil right off the start but after that I’d replace any parts that fail with oem.
Nice score for 250 bucks 🤙🏽
Now you’re thinking with your dipstick!! The farmertec saws are excellent R&D for porting
Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about getting a bigger clone saw but I don't need another saw near 100cc. Any suggestions on a 80cc class saw that's affordable without a bunch of problems
Definitely doesn't suck 👍👍👍💪 I can't wait to see you get into the cylinder and do some port magic 🪄 😁
Those 395xp arent bad at all !
I bought a brand new one off ebay for 305.00 from huztl.... been wondering why ever since...lol.
Ha! Is it not treating you right...or you just didn't need a saw that big?

Finally you got a holtzforma those saws are amazing for the money nothing comes close for the money I’ve had mine for 3 years and cut a lot of wood
love my 28 light weight sugi but the stihl es light ones...I believe the 32 is about the same as the sugi 28 and not bear as flimsy, love both though
I love the way the Stihl light bars look!
@@novicelumberjack yeah, I ran a 32 on a 461 for years, good bars
I purchased the Wemars 62cc after I performed my due diligence here on TH-cam. They should put you on the payroll because your videos sold the saw for me. Subbed your channel! Appreciate you brother. It's a really solid saw.
Hyway makes a great 395 pop up piston. Single ring. Lighter than the dukes too.
I'll keep that in mind
I used one in my 2094 build. Ring locate pin is centered on intake side
great deal on a decent saw. excited to see it up against some Stihls on the wackoffs
Man I've actually been wanting one of those for a long time now I just haven't dropped the ball yet
Put a ramhorn muffler/header on it," check out," tin man
I'm pretty sure you said you were giveing that old 757 away. Yep... I'm sure of it. Right guys? 😀 (sarcasm)
Back off Wompwomp! You ain't gonna get my Shindaiwa!

Hi Boedy. I always wanted to meet up to talk saws sometime since I started watching your channel. I am in Loganville. I will pm you.
Please do. I was just over that way today. Snatched up a Husky 268xp for $125!
Omg you basically stole that saw from the guy. Great find. And honestly. I wouldn’t put anything smaller than a 24” on it.
Well, I'll be porting it for racing applications, so it's sure to loose a good bit of torque in favor of higher rpm's.
If you do decide to port your 592, the exhaust port's texture is really really rough. It can also take some more intake timing. I did that on my buddies and didn't cut squish or anything and it helped a little bit.
Yeah, I've seen the exhaust. It's really rough.
So are the transfer ports
You look like Convay Twitty!
You definitely woke it up after you turned on it

Nice👍🏻 especially for the price and potentially meeting a local saw connoisseur!
Yeah, he was a pretty cool guy!
pull cord may last 5 times put oem plug wire and plug oem oil pump u may have something fun
I'll fix it as it breaks.

Dam she sounds strong

I own a 394xp I'm no hobbyist it being used all the time it's like a muscle sport car of saws.
Next thing you know a stihl shirt in every video lol
NEVER!
Heck of a saw! Great price!
Full China 🇨🇳
4 stroke it
McCulloughs are 70 DL at 20 inches at least mine was.
$250 works!
Very nice deal
Im happy with my G288 so far. It does have a small air leak but itll make it. I would get rid of the fammac 372 and get holtzforma. They seem much better to me . Good score
I like the idea of turning the FARMMAC around and documenting the process.
@@novicelumberjack ya its your call. From what Ive seen the Holtz is a better saw. I guess Ill wait and see what you come up with. Cheers
@@novicelumberjack I want to make a nos husky 61. See how it turns out
Good video.
Go Vote
I don't know man I just can't bring myself to buy or try these blue saws but maybe it's the way of the future 🤔
Pretty high on the real one I love the song I will not buy a Chinese copy in my life if I do if you are my cold dead hands
These are interesting for the price
Yeah man, gives average people the opportunity to mess with a saw they would never have afforded otherwise.
Cool video. When you dialed it in, it worked!
Yeah, it runs really good.
What fuel/oil mixture do you use for that clone?
Lol I have 3 of them! Yay!! I’ve beat on them like they owe me money.
You Aaron and Fred are some hella good durability testers too 😎😉
Lol if it will hold up to Fred the destroyer it’s pretty decent!
@@jonbobskunkworks tru dat 😂😂😂
Mesin Bagus 👍👍
Awesome Score!😁
It's not a Jonsered, but it'll do!
Your doing the buckin start now 👌👍😁
You know what.
COME AT ME BRO!!
My cold dead hands who never buy a clone
U like broken stuff don't you
I have an actual 395xp that I bought brand new. I would like to buy one of these and put it right up to my genuine 395xp and see what the differences are if any.
I’m a lot of cases these will outcut the husky. Watch taz-man I think he has a video on the two your speakin of
me 2
China saw or not, it’s powerful nonetheless
Yep, I like it!
Chain is far to tight what are you doing?????
He hasn't been working saws to long I don't think but he is picking it up fast alot of people that didn't grow up around saws run their chains to loose and thay fly off alot then thay go the other way to tight he mentioned he is learning to hand file better so my guess is he hasn't been at it to long but he will figure it out I noticed it first time I watched a few months ago
