Holzfforma Farmertec G660 Pro First Look and Thoughts on Clone Chainsaws

[@generalkayoss7347]

I just ordered one of these to mate with a 36" bar and an Alaskan mill. Plan on milling some hardwood slabs to eventually turn into tabletops. You got a much better deal than me, I ended up paying just under $500 after taxes ordering from Amazon.

[@Man-Time]

I did get a really good deal. I like mine and it’s been good to me so far. Best of luck

[@generalkayoss7347]

@@Man-Time I ordered a Stihl chain tensioner and a better oiler for it as well, they seem to be some of the weak links in these saws from the research I've done. I still think it's going to be very worth it as long as it doesn't give me any major issues!

[@Man-Time]

Those are the things that I want to upgrade also. I did replace the fuel line to the carb as mine was leaking

Which OEM Model parts are direct fit? 660 or 066?@@generalkayoss7347​

You did fine, I ordered when you did. Holtzforma's shipping was over $100, after fees it was much closer. I went with Amazon to get their warranty and transaction simplicity.

Been running a 42” bar for milling on this saw, i also opened it up a bit for performance, its still running to this day

[@Super-Bike-Joe]

That baffle is there for a reason!! Diffuser. You need a pre filter on that hard filter.

[@theokunick1577]

Walbro actually has a plant in Tianjin, China. It seems like the pro model already has many of the upgrades a lot of people recommend on doing to the standard versions.

[@chrismuncey3861]

I have a g660 pro good saw's. With some work they wake up big time. I threw the piece under the filter away and its not had any problems.

[@902hand7]

I only have 1 clone and that's likely my limit but I do think they have a place in everyone's saw collection as long as you don't mind wrenching on saws, upgrading some parts to OEM and aren't depending solely on one to to make a paycheck...

[@Man-Time]

Agreed

[@zeromark202]

The 660 is the best model they have cloned. I won’t waste my money on any of the others. My 660 clone has been ok for when needing to run a 36” bar.

[@Man-Time]

Agreed. It’s a pig to lug around and a bit of a gas hog, but pulls that 36” pretty good.

[@rosskstar]

When you order from Farmertec, was there any import duty to worry about or shipping they charge for later?

[@Man-Time]

No additional fees for me in the US

[@Bob-ux8sn]

Just for fun you make it 98cc with a dome piston really make it pop put cheap Chinese cylinder highway piston with caber rings on a 066 with a red light from the 90s have fun with it .

[@Man-Time]

It hard to not have fun with a chainsaw😁

[@lukereynolds9907]

Do you use echo red armour 2 stroke oil mate

[@Man-Time]

Yes @ 40:1

[@tommysmyth254]

Over here it's 1600 dollars

[@scottfoster2487]

I will tell you you need to really look into a neotec. Neotec has a better build quality and they offer some pro upgrades. I jave no dislike for any clone if it works and does the job. Grease the base of the airfilter ,these clone air filters are garbage,,go get a max flow oil air filter kit.. Beotec comes with a better tool kit dir sure.

[@Man-Time]

Yeah I got a great deal on this one. But I have a neotec stihl spare parts kit that has saved me a few times. The tools kit is very nice. I can’t speak to the saws they make

[@claudiurus5983]

I don't like the fact that they are sell whitout guide barr an chain.They should be banned from selling without these.Greetings from Romania!

[@LJ3Mr]

No bar, as they are sold as spare parts that can be produced for original models.

[@billbennett-rk8gm]

You and your bob the builder tools Have already said this saw is junk so why even buy it If you want a stihl then buy it and stop bitching if you are looking for a Lincoln you don’t buy a pinto
