My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I like and I'm crazy for this woman ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The hole in the gas cap was to prevent a vacuum when all the gas was pouring out through the muffler.
Gas cap problem is better then fuel just run right back out bottom of fuel tank soon you pour fuel in not just that they ignore your warranty return refund and replace 589$ saw i wish i saw her video before i try this saw out i guess my dumb ass they said eligible for refundable and replacement the warranty you get is ignore you
That's a speed hole. It makes the saw go faster.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What saw is the ncs 6200 a copy of?
Wow that saw is poorly made , it might look tough but deep down inside its junk. Good video right there 👍
@skutch Blobaum that's what I was thinking.......I was thinking it's a return and resold....
Someone whos like "heh..my saws orange, people will think its a stihl"
Holfman clone supposed to be so good and even takes the same parts
Geeesh what a junker ,that's the kind you throw off the cliff and watch it disintegrate into a kazzillion peices
Ancient Chinese philosopher once said:
Buy Communist Chinese Tools = Get Communist Chinese Tools
Translation:
Buy Junk = Get Junk
Great video. Terrific information on this saw. Thanks for the great work.
The worst kind of customer is a cheap customer... I educate folks on how if you spend a little bit more, you'll end up saving in the long run. Buy once, cry once.
Not to be ethnically incorrect, (apologies to all Scots, LOL) but the saying goes that the Scotsman says he is too poor to buy poor quality stuff.
I try telling my missus this ,she still buys cheap shit ,ya can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
@@dack4545 atleast you got a cheap date!
There is $400 for a one time job vs. $1200 to pay someone or get a name brand saw. Not every one can afford to buy name brand. Some of us have to live in the real world.
Minimum wages equals minimum effort so think about what you're buying 1st
There are no chamfers on those ports!! That is likely where the scoring came from. That will probably catch a ring in a port and destroy the top end in a very short period of time. I doubt that saw would get though the one tree with a cylinder like that. I would love to see the ring end gap on that thing, probably doesn't have any, which could also be a cause of the scoring in that cylinder
I’d rather pay for an Echo or Stihl and have a saw I can use for years rather than something that arrives with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel
You people do realize Stihl has a manufacturing plant in China right ?
@@shannonwhitaker9630 yes. But still better quality than the clones
@skutch Blobaum do you and shannon whittaker have some connection? Seems like you likely do.
@skutch Blobaum never said it was. Never said it wasnt
@@oliver90owner Obviously they share a brain cell
Another great video young lady. You are a natural for this stuff! 😁👍
Thank you so much 😁
The great thing about your videos is the experience you have seeing equipment run over a period of time . Straight out the box reviews tell you very little . Great stuff keep it up .
Exactly
Little hands makes some jobs look so much easier.
Why would someone bother painting the INSIDE of the muffler? I get offered stuff for review all the time and I nearly never put out a review since 90% of the stuff they offer isn't something I would want.
Neotec seems to have alot of very bad reviews on here from what I've seen.
Very poor quality apparently, Farmertec get my vote for aftermarket👍
You gets what you pays for. Our oldest piece of lawn equipment is now 44 years old, and runs fantastically. Our oldest Stihl is now turning 20 years old and keeps on running. Buy the best you can afford - THEN MAINTAIN IT!
everything is made in china now you silly boomer. get over it. if you think chinese metallurgy isn't better than what we were doing 44 years ago I don't know what to tell you lol
Well said. 😎👍
Or buy something for 1/5 th of the cost that will last 5 years
Buy once cry once!
The cylinder scouring is from a sharp edge of the ports which should have had a rounded edge to avoid the rings/cylinder from being lightly damaged during running.
Taryl would have found that right away.
@harmony connie scam bot
You can see it was never ported properly. What a hunk of trash!
The scoring was all the way around the cylinder. The report was that the saw only ran for a few seconds, so I would suspect debris was either in the cylinder from the first or the rings were dirty.
Sounds like a knowledgeable assessment. I think you are right.
Two weeks ago I researched NEOTECH and after one hour of research I decided that NEOTECH is junk or worse. Buyer beware!
I have a Tornado chainsaw that I use, it has been a great saw! Cut a lot of wood with it.
I was so impressed I bought another one, still new in the box, bought another “used” one on EBAY for parts.
This cheap @$$ed saw runs great! Now watch the next time I try to start it it will fizzle!
You get what you pay for
I think the cylinder either was damaged from assembly , or excessive fuel.. the paint would’ve been soft you’d think.. hmmm It’s junk
No champher on the exhaust port- probably scraped off chrome by the ring and scratched cylinder and piston. Scratches apparent on piston viewed when muffler removed.
If only the big brands made anything worth a crap anymore. I don't see how Echo is still in business. I'm open to any brand these days. I've owned Stihl saws for over 20 years, with my tree service and their quality has progressively gotten worse and the prices are only getting higher.
I have worked on quite a few farmertec saws. That does not look like a farmertec saw. Are the chineese knocking off a chineese knock off of a stihl saw? The ports look completely unfinished. Suprised it didn't hang a ring on a port. They should be slightly radiused. I bet the black stuff is aluminum grit left over from machining the cylinder and not being cleaned. That thing is junkotec.
Yes the Chinese are knocking off another chinese product. Neotec is not the same as farmertec.
That's not a clone, that's a pile of parts that resemble a chainsaw. Thanks for the "review" 😎
@skutch Blobaum Likely you, by the number of post you have made? Tell us, are you the distributor or someone from the marketing/sales/manufacturing of this brand?
Richard, he had to be someone from the company doing damage control. LOL! We deleted his comments and blocked him from the channel. Too funny.
Take them for free. If they are junk, people should know and the company shouldn’t sell them. You would be doing a public service and the maker would and should be exposed.
wow, I know those saws were junk but even worse than i thought, however recently found your channel and am enjoying it....subscribed...thumbs up !!
I have a neo tec 892. I did have to adjust the carb out of the box but other than that it's been running every day for 6 months with no problems. As far as clones go it's a pretty good saw. I also have several other stihl saws ms660's , 661's and a 500i
I have a holzfforma and work for the state in forestry id put it up against my work saw any day of the week. I run a 461 at work. G466 at home. Bark box and wcs dogs hi flow intake.
Randy we have the same last name
And pretty much same saws
Neotec 892 Stihl 660,039,271
So fat I've got about 40 hours on the neo just carburator adjustments I run a 24 inch hard-nose bar with on problem
The product is 5 times less than a Stihl and for a majority of people using chainsaws, they are not commercial logging people and don’t run a big saw everyday. The unit might poop out 5 times faster, but that’s enough to clear my 40 acre property.
Ya she's full of crap, I have a G888 clone an that saw rips! Way better then OEM.
I am Wathching from South Australia
I have always runs stihl chainsaws I"ve got 1 chainsaws with 0ne is 30 years old and still run good. I"ve had a good run with Sthl chainsaws I have updated to the StihI 881 Magnum it is alovely saws I do not look other brands.
Cheers Donald
We had a customer bring in a full on counterfeit MS 660 Magnum a couple weeks ago, serial number 0014. We thought it was a stolen saw at first then got to scrutinizing it closer. The crooks that made it even copied the part numbers on the parts but left the logo off them. It's now sitting on our show and tell rack.
Did you "sthil" it from the customer lol
@@ryangiltner5640 The boss asked him if they could keep it as a show and tell piece. He gladly volunteered it for that purpose.
Thanks for the great warning video! My “new” saw is a Husky 385XP I bought on half price sale ($400 for an $800 saw) as a demo saw in 2002 (it’s presently the base saw for my Alaskan saw mill). The small saw I still use is a Homelite Super EZ Auto I bought at the same shop in 1974. Buy a good saw, take care of it, and it will last.
ive still got one my father had an cut wood to heat his house for 15 years back in the 70s, i replaced the coil once an it still runs like a new saw. in any conditions imaginable lol
I bought a 385xp in 2002. It's felled thousands of tons and still runs as good as new. Real long term value for money.
I’ve had my NS892 for a little more than two weeks, almost every day for about three-four hrs. per day , and I have to say, I’m impressed. Other then a slight adjustment on the H&L after straight out of the box, runs excellent. And yes, it’s a beast. Wore out my shoulder trying to start it until I saw your video on how to start the big saws. Have not had any more sore shoulders since. Keep up the good work in the videos, they always seem to help.
Hahaha I broke my arm too , I thought I'm the only one. Just banging like crazy I'm like wtf this decomp valve it's not working , later on I found out you have to push it 😂😂😂
I figure they are kinda like another clone product they are hit and miss you know like the good, bad and ugly sometimes you get an good one sometimes a bad one you have to change a plug adjust a carburetor or rebuild it and sometimes you get an ugly one that makes them all look bad!
Nobody says they're not running, performance is pretty much on par with the original. The only issue is how long they last, and how many repairs are needed along the way for that reduced usable life. An OE saw will last 4 times as much while being 4 times more expensive and with less issue along the way.
Just look up "Belko Wood" on youtube, a professional chainsaw miller from Belarus. He has a beaten up MS 880, bought a Holzfforma 888 about a year and a half ago, and a month or two after that it wall already a hybrid saw from all the crap he had to replace on it. A year after that he was back to using that old MS 880 again which still runs! Remember this guy chainsaw mills many hours, EVERY DAY.
The worst kind of customer is the one who doesn’t know how to fix their machines and expects everything to work flawlessly for the life of the machine. For me, I have an Ojenas which is a Stihl 880 clone and it works great. I use it on my Alaskan Sawmill and it’s a beast. The only issues I’ve had are the stud bolts sheering off and the ignition coil not being correctly gapped. I’ve been using it for two years.
Your tools are only as good as the operator.
I bought an 066 Stihl back in '99 the first day it kicked back and the handle smacked into the top cover and busted a big hole in it ... And I had to modify the choke because it was missing fast idle .. (same common problem I have with the Chinese 660's) she's been a good saw ... But just watch your air intake and don't let leaves clog it up it only takes a few seconds for it to get hot enough to transfer metal from the piston to the cylinder.. I had to take mine apart and clean the metal transfer off the cylinder and unstick the rings it had minimal damage basically just a couple of little scratches on the piston .. it's been running fine ever since I used it yesterday still has all of its ponies .. the Blue thunder G660 farmertec saw I've been using for 5 years now and she's been running flawlessly seem like it pretty well on par with the Stihl ... And I just bought a 066 pro carbon fiber edition with Meteor piston cylinder and Caber rings ..and I put a dual Port muffler on it I've only used it about 3 hours but man that thing screams ... I purchased a G888 and had to replace the coil right off the bat it flooded really bad had to modify the carburetor then it ran awesome for about 15 minutes and grenaded the crank bearings ... I went on the Stihl's website to see if they had any problem complaints with their 880 and 088 and indeed some people were complaining about the same problems from their stihls as far as the catastrophic crank bearing issue
I have a 12 year old Sthil chainsaw and it still runs just as strong as the day I bought it. Other than some carburetor rebuilds over the years, a new bar and chain, and now using Sthil MotoMix 50:1 fuel, I'll still have it another 12 years🤞. I'd never buy any other brand, and certainly no Chinese knock-off. Spend the extra cash and get a " real" Sthil, you won't be disappointed.
Don't buy a cheap knock-off of the real thing. I don't know, seems obvious. Hopefully your cheap customer reads this comment.
Neotec these started popping up after farmertec saws. I have stihl chainsaws but also some farmertec saws just today I put a piston and cylinder in my 460 I've had for about 2 years and ran the snot out of it doing small firewood bundles sales. But it was a kit You hit the nail on the head Quality control from the beginning. Thanks love your videos
Another GREAT VIDEO, Bre. Tell it like it is. That saw is JUNK!
I did look at these, especially the enhanced versions of 660, but I'll stick to Echo, Husky, or Stihl. After years of chainsaw experience, I'm liking Echo the best. I do have a Jonsersed 2255, which is a Husky 455 and is great.
Im running a Farmertec /Hulzforma G378 Husky clone , pretty nice for the money. My son built a 660 kit, again well worth the savings and no end to aftermarket parts. But if you have $1500 to drop on a saw, Stihl and Husky is for you. I do like to find used ones. Cheers.
I've got a 620p and a 3510 echo. Selling a ms271 so I can add their 4910 to the stable. Love the echos!
I would just look around until you find a quality saw used in good condition. I needed a larger saw to take out several larger trees my old 021 would struggle with. Found an 038 av mag2 72cc in amazing shape for $125 bought a new bar and chain. Filters and lines. Now I have a saw that will last me forever as often as I need something that large
Agreed, and thanks for your experienced insight.
While growing up in Michigan and my father bought a new Stihl 029 back in '85 which we used to cut wood for heat. Just had to crank it up again last week to cut trees after hurricane Ian came through here in FL. After using it all afternoon I realized we have had to change the bar once and have been through some chains but everything else is original . I doubt they make them as durable today but this says a lot to me.
Lots of after market parts for it if it breaks so dont throw it out , fix it.
The older stihl saws 025 026 029 036 044 046 066 were all of the highest quality. Stihls today are of high quality just not as good as they use to be. You wouldn't believe how many people buy these aftermarket knock off saws like this 660 knockoff thinking they are getting stihl power and quality for a few hundred dollars then whine about it when it breaks down beyond repair. The only decent quality stihl clones I have seen are the farmertec kit saws that you put together yourself. That's only because most people add genuine stihl parts that are very important like the recoil guts and carburetor and piston rings and oil seals. The farmertec kit saws still ain't a stihl but are pretty decent. I would not buy the holtzforrma or neotec or whatever others that come pre built. But if you want genuine stihl saw, get a stihl saw or whatever piece of outdoor equipment you need. Costs a lot more but like the old saying goes, buy once cry once.
Sorry this saw should have gone back under warranty Neo-tec has warranty, I think your customer has been playing with the saw. The holes in plastic (damage) is from the pull starter handle been let go back to the machine, some people should not own power saws. Down under Australia
Those vertical scratches are what I see in vehicle engines with 100,000-200,000 miles on them, not 20 seconds. If my Stihl MS180 dies I'm buying another Stihl, definitely not a Neotec or any other chinese copy.
Amazon does the free reviews thing too and it completely destroys any value the buyer average rating system has. You might see almost everyone who actully paid for something giving it one and two star reviews.. Then you get to the free sample reviews and nothing but four and five star glowing reviews. What a joke.
Free product reviews should be an entirely separate category and should not factor into the rating average of confirmed paid buyer reviews. The more low reviews it gets, the more free reviews they add to keep the average up. It's legal corruption. People will sell their integrity to get a free terrible $30 flashlight. It's a real bummer.
You're very brave to work on any of those clone saws. Most shops won't touch them and turn them away.....and for good reason. You have to understand that what drives the manufacture of power tools like these are people perpetually looking for bargains & deals. It's all about that...never the quality of the tool. If they were independently wealthy, they'd still buy new junk power & hand tools. Talk to them about buying a pro level chainsaw if they have a lot of work for it and you might as well be speaking Latin. There is no 'value' in a cheap power tool if it's always on the precipice of failure or fails regularly. And yet, here we are.........
Then go buy a comparable STIHL and pay about 5 X more. These caps are available as well as all the other plastic covers for next to nothing.
My Neotec works like a charm. Better than my Husqvarna.
You are just complaining about an isolated issue.
All products have issues.
We say "Whiskey Tango Fox Trot, Oscar" on the radio becaause we can't say WTF when we need to say "WTF?"
COPY?
DOUout
Bought one a couple months ago. The neotech 92v, it has the extra handle on the right side. Junk. Started falling apart within a few minutes literally. I still don't have my money back. And yes it is the same company as the Hozfarmer or whatever they call themselves.
People need to stop buying cheap Chinese junk. Support quality manufactures.
I think some of the scratches in the bore are from the port not being de-burred, the edges look mighty rough. Plug the hole in the cap, gas it up, tape the throttle wide open, set it out in the driveway and let it run wide open till it scatters (for entertainment). Throw the aluminum in the scrap barrel. 💣💥
*chinesium
Knowing china its probably lead.
Buy Chinese crap get Chinese crap. Buy a Stihl and get a better piece of crap, darn sure aren't made like older pieces of equipment. I've got one from the early 70s and one from the mid 80s. Both have served me very well over the yrs.
It’s a clone as in it won’t start! Not hating on Stihl, well actually yea I am. They’re great once they’re running, but it’s not worth the inconsistency they’re known for. Can’t imagine why someone would even think about buying a clone 🙄
I own 2 holzfforma saws and several vintage saws. I'd rather run the holzfforma because parts are available. The vintage saws I own are better quality but parts are not readily available.
“Clone” to me means exact duplicate. These are knock offs. Junk. Buy the real thing! Ask me how I know!!!
People need to quit encouraging this 'race to bottom' for yet more equipment. There's several established brands with great track records and 'emerging market' knockoffs aren't needed.
its got a hole straight through it, look i can see you 😂😂 that had me rolling. been wanting to say this for a very long time, those saws are junk! theirs a reason a pro series saw from sthil is or any manufacture cost a premium. their well built and built to last. hope u guys have a great weekend over there
If you can't afford new don't buy Chinese, Pakistan, Turkish etc knockoffs just buy used.
Just looking at the first video you made of this saw when you change the diaphragm on the carburettor yes the needle was in the wrong position but when you reassembled it you didn't put diaphragm underneath the needle in the little V slop so it was still pushing against it which would have made it flood out and hard to start again like I said on the recent video you just made of this machine on the second video you made you wonder how it came out he didn't come out you didn't clip it in
100% junk. If folk can’t afford a new decent saw buy a secondhand one, leave the copies on the shop shelf
If I buy something and breaks in 20 seconds. I’m not going to repair shop. I’m going to return it asap
How did that chainsaw pass inspection at the factory? Apparently they never started it to make sure it ran before shipping it. Yeah, i agree, that thing is for the scrapper!
UPDATE: Got my Neotec started and it's running great! It's powerful, strong and really cuts so good!
I think to be safe, buy the smaller power equipment from a reputable dealer, be it Stihl, Echo, or Huskavarney. Whatever you prefer. In my experience, I've bought a number of pieces of equipment from dealers, it was test ran, set up and has not been a problem since. And if you do buy from an equipment dealer, be sure to explain to them how often the equipment is used, and they can recommend the right fuel to use with it, and maintenance requirements. These little machines can be very expensive to buy especially if you are running commercial grade, but investing in quality equipment, and the right maintenance and support, they will outlive their aftermarket counterparts.
To me, it is counterintuitive that the "black chunks" would not be drawn into the exhaust port as the air flow does not travel in that direction. If it was a four stroke there could be an extremely slight chance this could happen in the "overlap" of the valves immediately prior to the compression stroke. The scoring appears to me to be cause by improper assembly in the factory. It would seem to me that it was assembled without any assembly lube causing immediate scoring upon assembly. if it has been lubed there is no possible way that i cn think of that there would possibly be ANY scoring of that nature at all. well, i guess it is possible that there was some "flashing" or some kind of burr on the piston itself. But that is so very unlikely that the piston still had any "flashing" remaining after the other "machining" necessary in preparation of the piston prior to assembly. But what he heck do I know.....that would add up to be NOTHING! Laughs
$389? I might give $38.90 for it. $150 rebuilt Poulan would be a better choice.
Assembly on Friday at 5 or Monday morning after a wild weekend.🤦♂️
You are one sharp mechanic. Love your videos and a special thanks for attaching an import. I have a farmtec and it cuts great. I want to change the carb in the future.
if she was sharp she would have noticed that giant hole in the fuel cap earlier when he was showing it has the older style caps.
@@AAckeltonDDDDYY The beginning of the video she mentioned hole in cap.
The aftermarket carbs on those cloned saws are notoriously bad. Also the cylinders are not well polished and machined so its possible the rings caught a rough edge on one of the ports and dislodged some debris. The rings could be cheaply made as well. Scoring on the exhaust side is cause for concern. No telling how long the saw will last.
Some little 6 year old in the factory was in to big of hurry when she put that carb together at the end of her 12 hour shift.
the gas caps are interchangeable with a stihl. She didn't even run it...waste of time
Great job again Bre. Unfortunately for the customer, the saw isn’t good quality. My advice is to stick to the German or Swedish made saws. I get it, money is hard to come by.
I have a 562 here, needs a cylinder and piston. Improper oil mix. 😕 Customers son made a boo- boo. Looking good Bre!
Thanks.woldnonot bougt it anyway.
Nice video and thank you.
That’s why I keep a tube of JB Weld on my desk. I am constantly finding places to use it. It is fuel resistant and can be shaped to repair almost anything.I used it recently to repair the clasp on my Troy built’s air filter cover, which had been broken by its former owner. It may not be pretty but it works and is a lot cheaper than buying a new air filter cover.
Could it work to repair stripped threads in a chainsaw body for a carb?
John,
I thought the same thing, or epoxy? Put some plastic on the inside and fill the hole?
Yes I think I’d use it for that fix. I’ve used it on marine gas tanks with success, fuel didn’t efffect it👍
@@eathans_small_engines8665 I have used it to repair stripped threads I plastic on chainsaws. I clean the hole with break cleaner and blow it out with air. I take a toothpick and put it on the stripped threads. I put grease on a new bolt and screw it in loosely into the hole. Let it dry in a warm place for an hour and take the bolt out. The next day I screw it into the hole gingerly. The only other choice is putting a heli-coil in the hole. My way will work for screws that don’t have a lot of torque on them. If the screw into metal or have a lot of torque on them I would use a heli-coil.
@@johnclarke6647 I ended up using my epoxy becuase I already had it! It is on a carb bolt on my 32cc mcCulloch saw
The Stihl FS screw type gas caps will fit on the 660 and their clones. I did a build on one. Lots of things are marginally adequate on these saws. I had some used 660 parts and actually made it reliable. If you aren't mechanically inclined you should not purchase one of these knock offs. Just my.02
Maybe that hole in the gas cap was to help with venting 😂.
It would certainly vent well!! 😂😂😂
it vent vell, yes?
Don't tell me, china?! Don't buy junk. You can always rent a chainsaw, from equipment suppliers, if need be. Thanks again ma'am!
The problem is she’s not really got a clue unfortunately
Hello I have a question. Do you ever fix or rebuild Old chainsaws? If so how do you get parts on saws that are from the 70's. I have a Skil 1616 chainsaw , the coil wire pulled out of the coil and it also seems the coil is bad anyway. I have tried searching ebay and the web in general for coils that are for that model but nothing. Is there a way to find a coil made for another saw that will work? Thanks Bre
Cheap is expensive! I am a tool repair technician at Home Depot and I regularly steer customers away from Ryobi products. Some would say we are supposed to stand behind the brands we sell but I choose to stand behind my customers...I sleep well at night lol. Love your videos. I always learn something from you.
Ryobi isn’t a bad brand, and they are actually a company under tti like Milwaukee so you can trust them a lot more than this hunk of junk. But I do agree, buy more capability than you think you need and you will most likely find a use for it anyway, or at worst be working your equipment way less hard than redlining cheap stuff all day.
I love my ryobi tools. Use makita at work, yea they are nice but not worth the money at home
Again thank you for sharing this video. I have never heard of this brand of saw however I think I will stick with the standards Stihl Husky etc.
and here i thought poulan was junk..........
That damage is not from the recoil slapping it. It all lines up with the gas cap busted. Either shipping damage or the owner did it him self. And I agree that saw has never been started. I don't think it would have. It may fired once
Thanks for the video Bre. I have a story for the "buy once, cry once" & "you get what you pay for" crowd. A friend was removing old carpet from a pontoon boat deck. I offered her my HFT oscillating multi-tool with a flat blade to see if it worked. It turned out to be the best thing she had for cutting the glued down carpet but it still took hours of work. She was (needlessly) concerned about wrecking my tool so paid $$$ for a top brand. The expensive tool died before the job was done and she finished with the cheap HFT tool. Paying a high price is no guarantee you'll get better value.
With a high reputable brand, you might have a bad luck with one tool out of 20. With a cheap one (like the one in the video), you will probably run into issues constantly. That's the main difference. Now, HFT are better quality than this chainsaw clone and will probably run for a decent amount of time.
You're amazing, great video!
I like the scope, looks as though the factory doesn't bother to even chamfer the ports like should be done. Did many dirt bike engines and larger two stroke overhauls and always was careful to chamfer to keep from a ring snag. Thanks for your very informative and well put together vids!
😮 Imagine what the assembly line looks like.😮
It was several months ago that you told about to beware of the premixed gas. For the first time my husqvarna weed eater would not start. I went and bought a gallon can, 2 stroke oil and a gallon of gas. After emptying out the gas from the tank and refilling with the new gas it runs now. My son was trying to get me to put it in the shop but I took your advice and did it myself. It runs now. Thanks
Ok one thing was bad I’ve bought six of these saws and there perfect and I love em
Yep for $75 including shipping I got one of the Chicom 52cc’s and it’s actually a pretty good running and cutting saw. No it’s not as good as my Stihl and Husky saws or even in the same hemisphere but for $75….come on Mam !
@@shannonwhitaker9630,
I have comments above on two other comments. I have a Tornado and it runs and cuts great! Hunnert bucks!
My current favorite saw is a Tanaka (way more than a hunnert bucks)! Love that saw too!
Before tearing the carburetor down pressure test first.
I love your videos, very thorough.
FYI - cross hatching, not thatching.
Thanks for the heads up on that someone just told me about those and I was going to look into it you saved me the disappointment
Hi mate ,i have a neotec 070 i have been using for slabing for over 12 months and hasn't missed a beat so for
I'm going on month 6 of quite a bit of milling with my Neo Tec 8105/070, only thing so far is broken clutch spring, probably from the saw dust with the saw constantly running on its side.
Yes it is absolutely possible the paint chunks scored the cylinder and piston.
When will people learn, you get what you pay for. We all sit around and call it junk or chinese junk but it's what the buyer was willing to pay for and the manufacturer obliged. If you want quality you don't buy the cheapest one you can find on the planet. It works the opposite way too, if you buy the cheapest you can find don't expect it to be on par or better quality of any of the more expensive ones.
P.S. the chinese don't make junk, they make products to a price point. If you want a $1000 iphone they'll make it. If you want a crappy $39 android phone they'll make that too. They'll make whatever you want to buy.
They try to inspire confidence by having it look less knock-off ish by having them cast in different colors. They offer a couple 'upgrades' that make the saw cost the same as a genuine oem product (modern equivalent).
Some of the knock-off sellers will drop in oem seals and other small bits that are known to fail. I wouldn't bother either way.
Why didn't the customer just get another new saw instead of paying to find out what is wrong with it makes no sence
yep, Neo Tec has excellent customer service.
I have the holzforma farmertec 660 now for over 2 years, used commercially almost daily, zero issues at all. The issue of the 2 dead ones that talk about, I wonder where they using an incorrect fuel/oil mix? I run mine at 40-1. Perhaps that was an issue. I have read and seen videos of some folk having issues with them, but I have seen many many more videos and read online of folk with my experience, nothing to complain about the saw. I wish I could justify spending the money on a new Stihl as all my climbing saws are Stihl, but the farmertec hasn't failed me yet. My only criticism of my saw is it is very fuel hungry. But then again, it's a brute of a saw cutting big wood. So it's to be expected I guess.
I bought the NeoTech 872 after I got screwed by a Stihl dealership putting unmixed fuel on a brand-new Stihl that burned on the first tree I was cutting. Anyway, after a few jobs it is still running well. So far, I have billed $5600 for work done with this saw. I have had it for 2 months now. One of the trees had a diameter of 42 inches. I don't know why that was junk but mine still looks new with no cracks or dents. When I bought mine I didnt realize there was a upgraded one for a few dollars more which I should have bought but like I said I did not know
Wow super junk! I thought I would never see anything worse than a Poulan wild thing but I was wrong! I would tell the cheap skates buy one if you must, cut a 2" tree instead of bringing it to me throw it away! New low point for china mfg. Good video Bree.
Poulan Pro is Husqvarna Brand Group, as is Craftsman, Redmax, Zenoah, Jonsered, McCulloch......just some in site.
There is Tinman video of a repair on an old Stihl that blew up (this was a 30 y/o saw), his diagnosis was that there were flakes of the plastic coating on the inside of the crank case had messed up the cylinder/piston, so maybe the paint chunks could do the same.
I was just going to say that too love his channel
I appreciate your ethics. It means a lot for sure.
Sounds like junk to me.
I think your right, If anyone buys this thing, go through it bigtime. Via your video on this sandblast that muffler. wow
Good morning hope you are doing well
