How was the Holzfforma G660 first day cutting timber in the Dixie fire

Here is the Holzffirma G 660 orange and gray model I did a little muffler upgrade 8 tooth sprocket and a hole shot air system not bad for the first day not broke in

[@Super-Bike-Joe]

It’s nice to see real loggers use these saws. Putting em to the test. Most vids I see are one n awhile cutters!! We are in the firewood biz & cut 1,000-1,500 cords yr. We use stihl & some Holzfarma. 66 & 46. Decent saws. 💪

[@ODIE-WAN]

It still runs great but I use as a spare and it can sit in the back of my truck an when I need it it starts right up and still falls timber all day

[@swaggersauce]

On the first cut, I knew you knew how to cut trees. Not all were perfect, but not all are, even for 50 year veterans. Technique speaks a lot. Great video!

[@thedealer799]

Crazy to watch you fell some trees here. We lost everything but our land and lives in this fire. God Bless. ❤

[@ODIE-WAN]

Sorry to hear that fire was devastating

[@calebthacker2162]

One thing about it you don’t have to fight the underbrush! 🇺🇸👍

[@ODIE-WAN]

That is true if we ever get out of these burns I might miss the no brush probably not though

[@barryhansen6854]

Time will tell sounds strong enough Odie, hope you get the life out of that you expect.

[@ODIE-WAN]

When I bought the saw I wasn't expecting much but its still going been in some pretty nice wood

[@TheZiggle]

@@ODIE-WANhow’s it running a year later?

[@ODIE-WAN]

Now I just use it for a spare still starts right up and goes all day just ran it yesterday all day @@TheZiggle

Well, I just ordered my G660 blue thunder I've decided Not To Touch the pull rope until I do 5 heat cycles at 230°F After I get it started. I do not touch the throttle. Till 4 tanks at 40:1 ratio Are Gone. Then for the rest of her life, it is 47:1 Hopefully, she adores the spoiling treatment and rewards me with long-term use..... Fingers crossed, boys. Pray everything works out for the best. I really need this, I deserve it. I really do.... I have got to get my "ash.... back in the woods, "Seriously!! ...Thanks for listening Ya'll...

[@Aaron_A_Lynch]

Tougher saws than they get credit for🤙🏻😎

[@ODIE-WAN]

I am skeptical how long it will last but I have cut quite a bit with it so far

[@danielvansittert6375]

How is the saw going

[@tttco]

I have a small Gyppo logging business here in north Idaho. I have a stihl 046 I do most my falling with. But I recently bought a g466 and have really enjoyed logging with it. I run a full wrap handle bar on mine duel port exhaust and a max flow air filter. Pulls a 32 inch bar every day with no problems.

[@ODIE-WAN]

Yep I recently bought a new 661 again and this saw wasn't a quarter of the price don't know how long it will go though

[@forrestwright5981]

Cool, I'm gyppo'en in north Idaho too, 046 is a great saw for up here. Where abouts you cutten these days pard?

Nice saw

[@majorpixchannel7146]

Very nice 👌 I checked ✔️ out the channel and subscribed... you do awesome work 👏

[@SuperCommercialDude]

Just a question, no critique, why do you cut with the top of the bar so much on the first few trees?

[@Man-Time]

Good stuff man!

[@ODIE-WAN]

Thanks

[@outinthewood3578]

It cuts wood and runs so I'd sooner wear that out than a 661 in that fine dust ? I can hear an odd metalic noise but it may be the way mike is picking the sound up

[@ODIE-WAN]

Yes I have heard that same tick I had issue yesterday on the 6th day running it not to sure if it is the carb issue everyone is having or what but will post

[@jacobnelson9144]

Running pretty good

[@billyshumate853]

Lay'em down Odie

[@ODIE-WAN]

Yup they won't grow any taller

[@AmateurLogger]

Is Iron Horse still holding your 660 hostage?

[@ODIE-WAN]

Yes he is sounds like soon maybe looking forward

Does Elon Musk know that you’re on Mars already?

I do

[@ODIE-WAN]

seems like it is turning into mars some days

[@ДмитроКостюк-щ4ь]

I plan to collect money and buy such a saw. But I still don't know how to order such a saw in Ukraine. There is no delivery to Ukraine

[@ODIE-WAN]

Too bad no delivery not a bad saw for the money

[@danielvansittert6375]

Few months in how is the saw going

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

The g444 has and air leek somewhere I put an old walbro carb on it but can't adjust it i,I, do a vid

[@ODIE-WAN]

I think my carb is still doing good but sounds like them cheap carbs do mess up? sometimes mine does seem a little rich

[@hdhhc5555]

I have 2 g444's . 1 works great and the other one is crap. Revs, stalls,runs decent for 5 mins then revs and quits. I was gonna get a carb for it but maybe it has an air leak as well

[@Kirks_Custom_Chainsaws]

@@hdhhc5555 check drive-side crank seal on a g444 if it has an air leak. I've replaced several. good luck & saw safe.

Did you remove the baffle in the muffler?

[@Jona_Villa]

The Dixie fire was a real disaster. It was triggered by lightning, right?

[@ODIE-WAN]

I believe it was triggered by a tree on a power line but the firefighters thought they had it out and left it the wind picked up later and reignited it and blew it out of control so I have heard I have dozens of stories I have heard from people inside the power co and firefighters and timber companies crazy

What side bar you running on it

[@ODIE-WAN]

Running a 36” bar

[@elonmust7470]

I noticed that the AV mounts don't feel as smooth on the holzzforma as they do on a stihl.

[@ODIE-WAN]

That's the first thing I noticed wasn't sore if the say was stiffer than the old 660s or I'm used to the spring mounts of the 661

[@elonmust7470]

@@ODIE-WAN I'm comparing the old 660. I'd mess with it & try stihl brand mounts if I still ran saws, but I don't at the moment.

[@elonmust7470]

​@@ODIE-WAN I just took ownership of one of their orange husky 288 models. I really liked 288s. I'd say that I'll see how it does, but I don't have any timber to cut..
