Dude chainsaws are my life I absolutely love them the way they sound working on them working with them all kinds of things about a chainsaw makes my world go round I work for Asplundh region 442 an I absolutely love it just can’t do the cold right now but it’s my dream job to be a logger

[@frankdaywalt9281]

Really enjoyed this , love using chainsaw , was easy to see you were having a blast , I know the piece ya were looking for smh ,. Next time my friend , that was fun God bless y'all

[@madjeepernh6834]

Just remember guys, this saw wont be broken in until 5 tanks of gas through it. Seems like a decent saw per reviews ive seen. Good luck!!

[@6xnbugs]

Nice job keeping it level on those cuts bro. Not easy to do with a big saw. Looks like the bandsaw mill is running well.

[@RidgeLife]

That's a crazy saw!!! Great job.

[@TheQuickSilver101]

That looks like a boatload of fun. Makes me want to go get one. Thanks!

[@donnymitts7277]

The exact same saw I just bought 42"

[@shonnbell7887]

Great video, I love my Stihl saw and you are correct about not needing a saw that size even for our 5 acres… but I would enjoy trying it out once!!! Btw this is Shonn from Abundant Living Homesteaders

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Bigger is better and it really is an ultimate boy toy.

[@colleenbowman1399]

Love to see some tables out of what you’ve cut.

[@ghostpatriot2370]

Just got the g660 and it’s an animal

[@scottcummings8074]

Your right about their weight killing you. Lugging my ms 660 with a 36 inch bar and mill attached with a 5 gallon jug in the other hand at 7500 feet up and down gave me chest pains last time. 😅

[@shawsmining]

I LOVE A GOOD HUSKY SAW

[@mm88swrt]

Sounds like it atleast needs a good carb tune. It'll put more rpms behind it.

[@karensweet6530]

I have a Stihl n I love it! Wouldn't trade it! Cuts just like I want it to. I'd take those flat pieces n sand them down, seal them with poly and make some nice seats or tables with them! Might have to cut them thinner but yeah, they'd be nice sitting down on the farm! That's a beast Chad! Lol

[@lone_eagle3924]

in regards to the low end torque you might want to swap the cluch on that thing with a lit stihl cluch

[@rdaystrom4540]

I can see a great go-kart engine there.

[@joanneganon7157]

That's a Bigin for sure 🙌🐦. JO JO IN VT 😆💕🍁💨

[@bixby9797]

I watch a number of saw channels. Guys out west generally use a 70cc range saw for a general workhorse and a 90cc for big softwood. Back east where I cut hardwood like maple for firewood a 50cc range gets it done with a little bit of 70cc for just a few trees. I can't see this saw as anything but a sawmill or if you cut redwood for some reason. Low end looks good for the price.

[@VaderSpade]

I have both Stihl and Farmertec (Stihl copies) saws. As far as low in torque being better with Stihl it really only applies to the older generation of Stihl. The 056, 070, & 090s. I've owned a couple 090s and still mill with my old 056, and well as my newer 660 & 880. Those old saws had some serious low end torque. My Stihl 460, 660, & 880 don't have any more torque than the MUCH cheaper knock offs. I don't expect the knock offs to live as long as the Stihls but that's a trade off I'll take for the price.

[@mm88swrt]

Port it lol. You can't beat the kits, if they are a good one. It's hit or miss sometimes

[@TheWoodsmanMilling]

I've got a stihl MS881, but I've been looking at getting one of these Holzfforma clone saws as a secondary milling saw. I won't feel as bad abusing one of these as I do with the 881.

[@MostlyPosative-nj5ex]

I have an 881 and the saw he’s using in the video. I tend to baby the Stihl and work the cheaper saw way more. I like the cheaper saw too. It rips through everything I can throw at it.

[@timstingel9067]

Send that giant off to tinman's saws and have him port it if you had that monster ported omg what a beast it would become

[@LivingTheDreamHomestead.]

That saw is sweet! I have just the tree for it ;)

[@ozarkmountainoutdoors4737]

Needs carb adjustment

[@JD-gn6du]

I miss my Sthil MS660… had a break in and it along with 3 other saws, and other tools went missing. For chainsaw mill setups you can get ripping chains to make better cuts while using your mill

[@mercedeslindigenous4219]

The log was 2 limbs that grew too close together and looked like 1 log, next time you encounter that look at the bottom of the log, what you were dealing with is called included bark.

[@stevenbrown5210]

That's bigger than a lot of motorcycle engines 😂

[@bradleywise835]

Thats actually smaller than alot of mororcyle engines

[@JR-rp7vr]

Ammon Bundy for governor??? Lets be neighbors bro! Hardcore Liberty man here living in Spokane WA, looking for property. No fuckin around bro. Live free or die, No compromise! God bless you and yours brotha man!

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Probably too late now, but you could make several table "sets": 2 tables that you could use separately, or put together to make one large one.

[@wolfgangrottmann6731]

this Holzforma G888 is a chinese copy of the Stihl MS 880 what is not produced anymore and replaced by the newer and much lighter MS 881. but its way more cheaper. maybe it could be a licenceproduct in some ways. greetings 🤑😆

[@bornforfreetaxtothedeath..7542]

Its like have a moped engine in your hand... 😀 Plenty off tork to pull that long chainsaw bar... 🪚🪵

[@nickpaulie]

You worked in winter with that beast? Does it have switch to winter mode of working?

[@walkabootpilgrim4937]

There are 3 different angles for standard.chains

[@lilahnewton7940]

Hello Chad & Shelby!!! I needed to take time away from technology for awhile!!! I let myself get attached to a channel, and then was treated badly by said same and it destroyed my heart. So I needed time. I'm so sorry I abandoned you. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you!!! Love you both.

[@NorthCountryOffgrid]

Who hurt Lilah? Noticed you were gone. Glad you’re back!

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

Haha 😂👍

[@steverichter4502]

How is the saw doing for you now?

[@hombredeacero3131]

Well you can still use it for firewood Awesome looking machine

[@MrJustincrowden]

Made of stil parts

[@stuartrinker]

I have a cedar that needs to come down. You cut it down I’ll give you a couple choice logs off it.

[@NorthCountryOffgrid]

Is that a trap? Feels like a trap. I l ow how you feel about those cedars.🤣🤣🤣

[@stuartrinker]

@@NorthCountryOffgrid not a trap. I do feel strongly about the cedars. There is only 2 left. Too close to buildings and too big for my skill level. Seriously you can have choice of logs. Give us a call if you’re interested.

[@jlopez7544]

Huge saw very cool. Too bad it's from China.
