Got mine over a year ago. Advanced the timing approximately 1 key width. Used a WCS exhaust port with spark arrester. Now my go to saw for firewood. I carry a Husqvarna 372, but it doesn’t get used much. Plan to run the NEO TEC till I wear it out.
I got the 12 inch climbing saw about a year ago, and it's a beast. The only thing I had to do to it was adjust the carb. I have used the crap out of it and haven't touched the chain except to tighten it. I'm looking at getting one of their bigger saws. Definitely worth the 100 bucks i paid for it.
For that price, I would have bought it too! I have the NS872 which is a clone of an MS381 and I use 32:1 in it. Builders say the metal is a little softer in these and can use extra oil to help reduce wear. Happy cutting!
Been running a Holzforma ms660 clone on my mill, liked it so much I got a NeoTec MS381 clone, I hate supporting china but I can't even afford a used STIHL.
Just ordered a 62cc 20” for $120. Can’t wait for it to get here! Wanted to keep all stihl products, but couldn’t justify spending 3x the amount for something that only gets used a few times a year. Cant wait for it to get here!
I have the NCS-6200 and all I can say is GOOD LUCK CHUCK. I've used it all of 2 hours and it leaks bar oil like a sieve from the adjustment hole like nobody's business. I've seen several other people complain about it too. And just yesterday it bogged down and now I can't get it to start AT ALL. I also can't adjust the H/L because the manual doesn't say what tool to use and the grommet holes are about 3mm wide so I have no idea what's in there. The manual also says it has an idle adjustment but if you look closely, the entire section is in a different font and looks like it was just copied and pasted in from some other manual. And looking over the saw three times, I can't find any idle port on it. Oh, and the stock chain is absolute crap. It's sharp but is producing sawdust not chips and is horribly hooking to the right. Glad this was only $120 because I think it's total crap. It's probably going to take another $200 to get it sorted out. I sent a LONG complaint letter to NeoTec tonight. If yours has the same issues, I suggest you do the same.
Owned the NS872 for 2 years now. Farm owner with hedge rows to maintain. Parts failing and adjustments to be made from day one. Being a non-professional user, I won't complain at less than half the price of a Stihl.
I ran out of Husky oil so I stopped at the gas station and grabbed what they had for 2 cycle oil. It was also a 25:1 ratio. I'll try the husky oil with a different ratio next time.
I bought a neotec 6200: worst saw I ever put in my hand. Total POS! I threw it in the trash today. Fouled plugs every day, wouldn’t hold a tune for shit, pull on it for 10 minutes to get it started,, maybe. Would run for 5 minutes then die. Maybe it just that model and not a husky clone,, who knows. I wouldn’t take it if you gave me one. Complete junk.

That saw is a bargain at twice the cost. You stole it.
Little smokey, what kind of oil you using?

I hope you don't have to try to get warranty service. Neotec ignored my warranty issues.
I haven't had any issues, but good to know! Thanks for sharing. I'll be sure to mention that.
At that price point, who would expect a warranty.
@@hotwort Why advertise one then? False advertising?
@@hotwort You get what you pay for
Hudgvarna should sue them for putting anything to do huskgvarna on it...they are ok for a little while..then they go to peaces.

good to know. The one I have has been fair, but not great. Thanks for the feedback.

@@oldowl4290 Good to know. Yikes!! I have heard their customer service leaves much to be desired, unfortunately.
