Should You Buy a New Holzfforma or a Used Name Brand Saw?

So I got asked by someone if they should just go buy a used saw or a holzfforma, so heres my thoughts on that
Get the blue saws at the source here: www.farmertec....

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

I definitely love my g660 from them, it's taken a beating
I haven't put together any of there kit saws but I'm tempted to get one for my next saw from them, I'm thinking either the husky 372 or 395 to try and get out of my comfort zone with the Stihl stuff

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.👍

[@roamingducksfarm4828]

For good or bad, I learned a lot about working on saws thanks to the China saws, and it kick started another hobby of restoring old saws and now I'm also a mechanic working on chainsaws at a Stihl dealer thanks to that

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.

Ive been impressed with my 466, its a saw that lives in my truck for the unexpected jobs that come up and it hasn't failed me at all yet and maybe I will do a shop tour sometime thanks for the idea

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

[@roamingducksfarm4828]

I haven't had the chance to get one of their upgraded saws, been thinking of getting their pro 372 to try out
At least to my knowledge the pro saws from holzfforma is more reliable out of the box as they upgraded all the weak points on their regular saws and maybe the better option for those who aren't as mechanically inclined

stihl 009 are 37 cc

I stand corrected
