Ported Holzfforma G395 vs Ported G660, 395xp, MS660, 066

[@tedneitzel]

Every saw builder I know agrees with you.

[@dubbssawshop]

Same findings here, the 660 is great, but nothing compared to the 394/395 in my opinion. They have alot of negatives like you said: carb,intake size, and intake timing. I'm just not a fan of them.

😊😊 58 /6O /62 MM cylinders put out power also and no 1 ports a chainsaw the same and U can also deck a chainsaw also and IVE had noticed the difference between the old school saws and the new 1S most of the old saws have more RPM they pull like a tractor 🚜 😊 it's just like when U overhaul a car engine U will find what U have after the engine is running and after the engine has broke in and the rings had seated U should be able 2 put a penny or a nickel on the valve cover and it should stay there W out moving that's smooth it runs just a brand new sewing machine 😊😊 OMG 1O 16 2O24

[@Aaron_A_Lynch]

This could have been settled without cuts😂…395’s are superior no matter how it pains me to say it 😆

[@DoyleShadduck]

I’m sure you’ll live, just get yourself a new 395 clone for Christmas and join the team, come in for the win.😛

[@MrHangerone]

Good morning from down under great video as always 😮

[@oldcodger1929]

Won't open a can of worms but I spend my money on Huskys.

[@nateolmsted899]

Yep, it’s definitely obvious RICHARD knows what he’s doing

[@aaronpowell4885]

When I got my g660 a few years ago, seemed the 395 "clones" weren't as well ironed out. If I were to order another 90+cc clone saw tomorrow, it'd likely be a 395. Your 660 is a strong runner but wow did Richard's 395 blow it out the water!

[@novicelumberjack]

I have plans for the 660, but I won't be able to get it done for Sawfest this year. Hopefully next year I will port up a different cylinder and build a better intake setup so that I can use a radical carb. Fingers crossed.

[@DoyleShadduck]

I’ve got faith in you. Love the videos!

[@robbevington1754]

They have sold a lot of G660 for the same price as the G395

[@Houseworksaws]

I had to rebuild a G660 because of the China deluxe edition decomp broke and fell in the bore. It made the top of the piston look the surface of Mercury. I always recommend people remove them and either plug it or put an oem 395 decomp in.

[@matthewbutcher203]

That's the first mod I do to a saw whether I port it or not... I'm man enough to start them without it and poor enough not to be willing to risk smoking a jug because of a broken or leaking decomp valve

Damn, I haven't been this late since I don't know when.

[@crazyfeller5704]

👍👍👍

[@yenerm114]

Richard does a great job, look at every saw you’ve ran of his they are all fast asf 💨🔥🪵

[@chainsawcanuck]

Think the 660 was more designed to be be a solid production saw, milling and such, never been impressed by them, 395 clones on the other hand, a much better beast imho

[@darylmanumik5980]

I'll blame this loss at the blown moter on the stihl couldn't start and when it finally start it could idle blown moter

[@aaronpowell4885]

👍🏻

[@frankz1125]

It is a huge difference for sure. Husqvarna is a better saw in my opinion anyway but R. F . does great work too. Cheers

[@IndianaDoug]

I get a different result. My 660 clone is faster than both my 395 clones. I bet Rich could build a hotter 660.

[@Aaron_A_Lynch]

Stock or ported?

[@IndianaDoug]

@@Aaron_A_Lynch both so far. The Farmmac F660 is pretty hot stock.

[@pallmall5495]

Hopefully Stihl and Husky can find a way to put a stop to these nonsense clones.

[@IndianaDoug]

They let the patent expire and don’t care apparently

[@Aaron_A_Lynch]

Never happen they don’t care..they are focused on new model sales

[@matthewbutcher203]

@pallmall5495 I'm not waving a commie flag by no means but these inexpensive clones have opened a lot of doors to innovation and education in the performance saw porting community, it's a lot easier to be willing to risk an unproven porting technique on a sub 50$ cylinder than it is a 200+$ one! All of that knowledge is then carried over into making more powerful and more reliable OE manufacturer production saws, stuff that people earn a living with.... and on top of all that, it just plain fun.

[@DoyleShadduck]

They ain’t nonsense, they are putting out great saws for a huge discount off the originals. You can get a solid 395 for close to 3 bills and change. As far as them stopping the clones it ain’t gonna happen, because the patents are up. The OEM’s are more interested in selling you the latest and greatest versions in the XP class. They are also cloning the original XP saws now. I’ve only seen the husky 543xp was cloned by Neo-Tec as the NeoTec NH 843 and it’s one bad a$$ed saw..for a small saw it rips and is light as hell.

[@kylecromp319]

Im so sick of guys saying the 395 is the top dog. The only real advantage is the oiler other than that the 066 is way way more nimble and bullet proof.

[@romper4444]

Well you just be wrong that's all!
