You're looking good after your surgery! Glad you're recovering nicely!
That seems like a 372xp clone. I have a original low top 372xp i use for milling. Saw your review on holzforma alaskan mill and ordered it from them. im very pleased with it. before i used to have a self made one. I have had great experience with husqvarnas for 13 years as i have been working with saws. The 300 series is awesome and i currently run a 560xp that is a great saw also. I like the slim and compfortable design on them.
It sounded like it was breaking down a bit mid cut under load but for the money they run an look great plus easy to work on. I think your 444 did a much better pull out of the box. Your a tough bugger getting out after your operation. I'm keen to see more updates on this model take care Mark.
Any bar with a D009 tail mount will fit this sawdust adjust the rim sprocket accordingly, the as supplied decomp valve button will fall off and let the valve fall into the cylinder wrecking it, you can either replace it or as I do drill a small hole through the button and stem and insert a small roll pin to alleviate the issue.
As I've stated many times before I run 32:1 mix using Lucas Synthetic Oil in ALL my 2 cycle equipment.
I assembled a 365/371 kit using their big bore cylinder and I am rather impressed with the power it has, it's now over 2 years old and still going strong.
Nice to see you wear Blåkläder! 😎
I guarantee that saw is going to surprise u it's a beast for the money and with a little more money invested it can run just as good as brand name or better port work and muffler mod she will rip
I'm glad to know your doing good after your surgery. I was wondering if you have done a review on a G366 or doing one soon
They have not offered me a G366. I am sure there are others who have reviewed it, they use several YT channels to get their info out there.
Thanks uncle appreciate all the advice
Yep she definitely needs a good carb tuning
Thanks Brother!! Been cutting wood for 35 yrs!! never wore chaps!!
It only takes once I suppose.
@@DIYwithUncleCy yup!!
About time ... I was wondering why u hadn't got a 372 from them yet let me tell u if u want to turn her up I done over 30 builds for customers off that platform and had really amazing results
I'm still going to let it break in before cranking it up a bit, but I have heard these guys can take it.
This is the comment I have been looking for, I am DEEPLY considering getting one of these to customize and make a 24" beast out if it, so you recommend I assume, what are some of the things you do to the ones you build? Thanks
Great Looking & Running Rig there, Cy ! Be Careful Brother ! ATB T God Bless
I have a g372xp. With about 5tanks thru it
You should really warm your saws up. Regardless if it’s 80out. They still need to warm up
Those cylinders are thick Mine takes a SOLID 5mins in cold weather before it warmed up
Had to look? Very reasonable price.
I love the review videos, thanks for taking the time to make them. How did this saw break in for you? I ordered this model and it should be arriving very soon. I'm excited to get it running.
Still working on getting it broke in. Lots of medical stuff going on so getting out to cut is on and off.
@@DIYwithUncleCy oil mix 1:33?
Putting the chain on backwards is ok, its when someone tries to cut fire wood for 20 min before he realizes what's wrong, that's the ones you look out for!!! LOL Looks like a pretty good saw. Looking forward to seeing how it works out. Good I bet!
I think you're going to really like that saw once you get it broke in.
Uncle Cy I want to know who produced you're channel intro ? It's mesmerising so much so after watching your last unboxing I felt compelled to buy one of those saws and now it's on its way . The people who are supporting you like me see something in you 👍
Honesty
I made the intro myself. I do all of my own editing. And on the camera work its mostly just me but occasionally I have a camera person. Otherwise I'm pretty much a one man production company LOL. You'll like this saw, but be prepared it takes a while to get thru a tank of gas compared to others I have used. Of course I don't have this one any more I sent it off to the winner of the 20K sub giveaway.
Thanks for watching I will try to keep em coming.
Dang,Ill buy it just for the tri wrench!
Nice saw, all the best!
Thinking about getting one
"Holzfforma" sounds german, but is bs ;)
"Holz" means wood, but "fforma" is propably a translation error. i think its ment to be "Firma", wich means corporation. so it should be "Holzfirma" (wood corp).
i have a nice chinese rc-heli wich says "corter" instead of copter on the box. i also own a nerf "shutgan" :P
wishing you the best, on the next procedure for your hip. I am curious about how this version of saw plays out....if i recall correctly... their first version was problematic.
The next thing on the hip.is radiation therapy. The growth was a rare form of cancer, it has a high survivability rate but it was stage 3, so there is that.
I had issues with all of the Huskys I have used so i am curious too.
I have 2 HUSQVARNA 372 XPs as my main Saws one with a20” bar and the other with a 36” bar my beast just in case the job gets bigger is a ported 288 XP with a cylinder bore of 8.8 mm ,my big block saw with a 42” bar . Does that saw come with a 50mm cylinder or a 52mm ? Love your videos my friend . Hope your feeling better and better every day. I run 50:1 using Husqvarna synthetic xp oil
Yeah, I've put a couple of chains on back ass whackwards, usually when trying to show off to newbies. Karma bites my ass regularly. I think the 25 to 1 thing presumes you're going to use the same old bulk tub of 25 most folk bought in the 80's and not premium specific 50 with it's much better lubricant and combustion additives.
Hey Cy,did you get a jon cutter 5800 yet?
Just ordered one,I hear they are great little saws!!
You had bad experience with Husqvarna but you buy these Chinese clones? That's funny but I understand I still have a bad taste in my mouth over a Stihl and they are basically the most loved brand in America, I personally have had good luck with Husqvarna but strongly recommend echo,my echo beats the snot out of the Stihl experience I have had,timber wolf is a much better move over farm boss if anyone is curious
Would you recommend this saw over a G444? They are the same displacement but the 444's max bar recommendation is almost a foot longer.
I'm also thinking about getting the 4500 or the 255 for sub 18" trees and ground work. Thoughts? I am not new to using a saw (albeit little Poulan's), but I am new to buying one but don't have a name-brand budget.
The 372XP (G372XT) and MS440 (G444) are so close in specs that it really comes down to user preference.
@@matt420740 And I don't know enough about them to have a preference, lol.
Get rid of that China decomp immediately.... had two come apart
J-Hawks Buckin Billy Ray uses them but only after Ironhorse gets done porting them for him . I saw him cut a 5’ round cedar just yesterday and then work it all day Buckin big rounds
Since the g372 is OEM compatable I'd change the clutch and carb
Now what's the difference between the xt and xp
The XT is supposed to have the X-torque technology. The XP does not. That being said I really am not fully sure of what the X-torque technology is. Any of my viewer know the answer to that one?
@@DIYwithUncleCy ok thank you I'm looking at either getting the g372xt or xp or spend a little more and get the g660
Thanks
Did you get your hip replaced? So did I, two weeks ago. Good to see you up and around.
Nah I have been fighting Lipo Sarcoma cancer.
@@DIYwithUncleCy sorry to hear that, hope you are healing well
@@DIYwithUncleCy Jesh that sucks man,Ill say a prayer for ya!!
👍👏
They 450$ but still they should last a day .my climbing saw I had the puppy that flew apart in my hands after month the vibration had all the screws lose .so basically go to Sthil dealer and get top of the line commercial saws and I use premium gas at the gas station 93 octane and usually when buy a saw they with a bottle of 2cycle
Well my Puppy has seen more use than most of my saws because it is on loan to my friends that were hit by a tornado. Just spoke with them a couple of days ago and they have been using it daily with no issues. I also taught them how to PM it though so I know they are taking care of it the way I would. Chainsaws are just not a tool that you can use and use and expect to do nothing but put in gas and oil and sharpen or tighten the chain once in a while. They require regular maintenance, best example I can think of is Human, go check out his channel. He talks about maintaining his saws quite often. And he is a current tree surgeon.
How did you get a orange one? I thought they were only available in kits. Complete saw heads were blue?
The sthil clones are blue the husky clones are orange.
Hi Cy
You mentioned running 40:1 in most of your saws. Does that include 070? I’ve been running mine on 25:1 as recommended, but would be happy to run 40:1 if it’s safe.
Thanks
Jeremy Meyer
Yep run it in the 105 too.
Hey there I have a plain g372xp that needs a new carb what would you recommend. That’s for the great reviews.
Farmertech does sell replacement carbs for them. And the cost is way lower than you find in the US.
Thanks I was thinking about a upgrade for it.
Out of all the huztl saws you have tested what do you recommend to be the Best Buy overall g660 ?the only saw I did buy was the puppy climbing saw but that literally fell apart while I was in a tree super dangerous all the screws were super lose or stripped had no clue that lasted two months for 100$ it was worth the money cause I did make a few grand but man super dangerous
So far I have been most impressed with the 660, 444, and 388. However those are also the big boys and not suited for every part of arborist work. Believe it or not I rate the Prowler Puppy higher than the G111, the 111 is prone to being hard to start warm and that is annoying when in a tree. For felling the first 3 I mentioned would do. For ground processing the G4500 has been pretty good but so has my YZ6200 but that's not a Farmertec saw, however it is the same design as the G5200 so though I haven't tried the 5200 I would bet its a good saw.
Brand new dull chain?
how long did it take to get it 2 weeks 4 weeks
Kinda of a newb in regards to chainsaws. I bought a 45cc Jonsered clone with 18 inch bar. Wasn't sure if that's a good size in engine cc. But figured I wanted a general all purpose chainsaw. Whats your thoughts ... Oh and that plastic funnel they sent can be used to funnel TH-cam money ... lol
Not trying to poke my nose in where it dont belong but Jonsereds has been purchased by Husquvarna Sweden and all the new model Jonsereds are just a red version of a Husqvarna of equal CC...and a bit less costly in some parts of the US. I used to run Jonsereds Pro saws back when they were made in Europe and only trouble with them was finding dealers over here in the States. I switched to Husquvarna saws not long after Jonsereds went under. I had always ran Stihl saws but the price kept going up and quality down so thats why I had to switch to Husquvarna saws...I make my living with them so they gotta perform. It was last year when buying another new Husqvarna Pro Saw that I got the word about them buying out Jonsereds and now I have 4 Husqvarnas and 2 new Jonsereds (the parts fully interchange between the 2 by the way) I keep hoping they will come out with a Pro Jonsereds version of the Husquvarna 562 & 572 XP saws since these are my main saws but as of yet still no luck... If you bought a new Jonsereds Saw you got a red version of what is the best all round chainsaw on the planet right now....I am not so brand loyal that I wouldn't switch if something as dependable and durable comes along....but when my job depends on a saw....right now its Husqvarna Pro or the "New" version Jonsereds period.

I don't know why they would clone an x-torq, they failed a lot, best thing you can do to a 372xp x-torq is to turn it back into a 'normal' 372xp. Don't tune this to run too fast, don't forget that secondary intake is pulling in fresh air with no lubricating oil/fuel. It's designed for emissions to clean (lean) burn, run 40:1 mix full synthetic for extra protection (never mind I see you did that, hadn't got to that bit yet lol)

David reed no sorry not Home Depot Lowe’s .home Depot sells echo
What bar and chain do you recommend for a joncutter 5800?
The 5800 is recommended up to a 22 inch bar. It would probably handle a 24 inch though. As to what bar to buy, I would start with the bars that Holzfforma offers for it. Once you have one of them you can look locally for something making sure the mounting slot and oil holes line up to the JonCutter bar.
when are you going to get back to wood turning?
I just did the Cannon videos. The view rate on them was so low I will strugg;e to pay bills in August, I will still be doing them from time to time, but bills gotta get paid and chainsaws seem to be the thing that pays em'.
Can anyone tell me what to buy that will last where I don’t have to tinker with any saw every ten minutes I’m in need of a Climbers saw three ground saws one 16inch one 25 inch one 36inch and Polesaw
If you are having to mess with them every 10 mins right out of the box the problem is not the saw. I haven't had to mess with any saw I own that much with the exception of a 3 yr old MS171. And considering I was in the tree business for awhile an never had that issue, your question completely confuses me. Are you running NON-ethanol gas with a minimum of 91 octane? I have heard that running poor quality gas or gas with ethanol tears up saws to the point they become unreliable. Ethanol not only destroys the gaskets in the saw but it breaks down the Oil you mix with it causing higher friction with in the saw, which would eventually make it run lousy and finally kill it altogether.
I will add that if you are trying to use saws bought at a big box store like Home Depot or Lowe's etc. and use them for commercial use you are never going to stop buying saws. Go out spend the extra and buy from a chainsaw dealer. The clones I review you could try but I have my doubts about how long they will hold up. I have been pleasantly surprised by them thus far, but do consider that I am not using them like I would have when I had a tree business.
DIY with Uncle Cy The thing is two huskies 455 the primer bulbs stop filling after one tank and also open the gas caps the gas is extremely hot and shoots out like there is this huge pressure
There should be pressure. And if the saw has been running the gas will be hot. All the more recent made saws and a lot of the older ones have a valve or you could say a pump that pressurizes the tank as it runs in order to assist fuel in getting to the carb. I have saws that will hold that pressure for several days after running, others the pressure bleeds off in a few hours but all of them have it right after shutting it off.
Stihl or Husky or Echo.The price will hurt and all the new saws need work to run somewhat strong.muffler mod and carb mods and timing.unless you can get it from Germany then you can still get a 090
Where do you get parts for the thing?
Its part for part the same as a Husqvarna 372XT. you can get parts locally or save some money and order from them. Either way easy to get parts for. I am going to assume you haven't been to their web site or you'd already know this.
Is this the 372xp that they offer or different.I don’t know what saws to buy anymore I been in tree industry over 20years and every saw I buy lasts no more then two months either after tank of gas won’t start oilers fail won’t idle I have been through husky Sthil cheap saws.huskys really suck bad lol two craftsman’s yesterday brand new for a small job after tank of gas both will not start primer bulbs stop filling never seen nothing like it not sure to try these knockoffs or give echo a shot Sthil and huskies new line of saws are thrash any opinions?please I have a tree service and not one running saw I can depend on almost making me want out.i can keep working on saws at customers houses 3hours yesterday tinkering with saws started job at noon should of been done by 3pm didn’t leave until 6pm help
Makita (which was Dolmar) or Echo, i wouldn't buy a new husky or stihl either. I also wouldn't buy this x-torq clone, the original wasn't that great and had much higher failure than the 372xp, this clone won't be better
Seems like you are putting bad gas, incorrect mix, or cheap mix in your saws. Try running ethanol free fuel and synthetic mix before buying another saw. Also most new saws need to be broken in before burying the chain into wood. Never rev the piss out it before 3 tanks of fuel. Also you need to adjust the carb usually after the break in.
@@jaysontaylor71 Does say he's buying the cheap (home owner) type saws too so that may be most of the problem. Any cheap saw from any brand these days is never going to last long, they're cheap and nasty and made as disposable as possible. I would expect more than a few months of decent work out of them though, using a low end, mineral oil lawnmower 2-stroke oil sounds a likely cause too
Your issue is that you're buying the 'cheap saws'. You need to buy professional grade Husqvarna/Stihl, with proper maintenance those saws will outlast you.
Getting a chinise clone for few hundred bucks might sound good but in the end it's not a saw you would want to rely on.
I will say I did spend 450$ at Home Depot for the 455husky 20icnh and still after one tank of gas the primer does not fill and will not start done this several times but will not start hour later
Where do I purchase this saw
Link is in the Description. But I would wait to see how it turns out after break in at least. TBH I was less impressed with this saw than their G444. But I am willing to reserve my final judgement till after I have it broken in and tuned.
Thank cy
Cylinder 2 ring piston 45.2mm hahaha China...husqvarna original swiden cylinder 52.00mm 1 ring piston power chinsaw speed
They are always overrating their saws unfortunately. You can always order the top end kit on Ebay and make it 52mm.
9:10 cracked me up
