Unboxing G660 Pro Hydro dipped carbon fiber farmertec holzfforma chainsaw and thoughts ms660 stihl

talking about the new g660 pro chainsaw

[@urbanlumberjack]

These are great saws. I’ve put four or five tanks of fuel through my G660 since I got it and I have milled big logs with it. Absolutely zero issues. Yes, build quality is not impressive but it is functional, and has allowed me to do more and bigger logs on my budget.

[@mrtree1368]

Considering most chainsaw last for 10 to 20 years with little maintenance 6 tanks of gas is nothing to base longevity of the saw

[@devinmccloud]

Total price with 28" bar and Chain = $421. That includes $79 shipping. 35 to 45 days from China. Arrived in 4 days. Great video on assembly. Spot on.

Just received my g660 blue thunder 3 weeks ago from farmertec. Came with the half scrench , ngk plug and it has a dual port muffler. I love the thing. Doesn't have the big pull cord handle but it runs awesome. 👍👍

[@hdhhc5555]

The only thing I don't like is the bar adjuster. It's crap

[@dynojoemods2764]

Those saws sure do look sweet! Prolly even better with a pipe!

[@cowcatcher9186]

Got mine in a few days ago. Kill switch wire came loose in first tank. Got that resoldered. High idle doesn’t work. Haven’t really needed it yet but will probably order a Stihl OEM trigger and control switch lever. I’ve got 3 tanks through it so far.

[@yungsmile7546]

The G660 PRO I bought has issues that Farmertec should have remedied by now. The chain adjuster is still crap and OEM and Hyway don't work due to dimensional differences. The worm gear spring tip was so long that it carved a trench all around the case housing. The result was the housing and oil pump were clogged with magnesium grains which reduced oil flow extremely, so much so that even set at maximum 2/3 of the oil in the reservoir remained when fuel tank was spent. Good way to burn up a bar and chain, don't you think? I bought it to be a working saw, not as a saw to be worked on. Maybe I'll have that now, but it's approaching three months benched and I've got 40+ inch logs to mill and buck.

[@jefflohr5533]

Im gonna get one of these saws and if anything is broke its going back lol!! do not like my stuff damaged unless I do it and I dont break my stuff!!

[@vikingnorm6935]

Man,a lot of haters in this comment section, I broke down & bought the regular blue Thunder g660, a bunch of parts from my Stihl dealer that are known issues, 30 or so tanks in & didn’t change anything yet, runs great, keeps time off my oem saws, have fun, I don’t see the problem

[@230e4]

Interestingly the made for foreign market OEM Stihl MS660 did come with the same style dual port muffler and no screens, so they must have copied that one. This saw looks way nicer than a blue one. Really if someone would just build a 660 as good or better quality wise as OEM alot of us would pay the price for better quality, just look at the prices used oem 660s are bringing now.

[@rockymountainchainsaw]

I totally agree! Yeah used prices for oem right now are crazy high compared to what they were a few years ago.

[@johnw3794]

What's the difference? Between blue thunder and pro. Any performance? Stronger? Or is it just a dipped cover etc.

[@dsine117]

What's the difference between the blue thunder and pro as far as performance

[@nolan955]

Is it normal for this/these saws to have residual gas in the gas tank and a light film of oil in bar chain tank when unboxed? I noticed mine has some when I unboxed it...

[@mrtree1368]

Pretty much all saws do for they are tested at the factory

[@05dcummins]

What was that fixed blade knife you had there. Looks nice and small

[@ericjohnson9080]

Looks good. What dealer do you buy from? Thanks.

[@andrewotero1972]

Those are awesome! Do they make them in other saws? You said you might sell some ported!what does that do more power! Awesome channel can't what for more !

[@baldwinracing28]

They make in 372 XP pro as well. I got one. Cleaned up ports and muffler modded it already sounds wicked....

[@jtaylor9355]

In your opinion neo-tec vs farmertec pro? And where is the place to get these saws ?

[@littlemechanicshop]

I believe they are in the same factory. But that might be some we look in to.

[@baldwinracing28]

Jes Ray at smelter saws in Montana he is a farmer tec dealer.

[@littlemechanicshop]

@@baldwinracing28 Rocky Mountain chainsaws is also a dealer

[@mrtree1368]

Crazy how we down play the negatives. You never got a name brand saw broken when it's new . Plus unless things have changed this saws require maintenance you never have to do to any other name brand saws . So unless you have mechanical experience and are ready to work on a new saw to keep it running right don't buy these saws . If money is really an issue just buy factory reconditioned or used

[@NothingButChainsaws]

There are tons of posters on here willing to port!

[@michelle778]

With taxes and customs this thing is about $200 off the current MS661. Is it still worth it then?

[@d-railfpv9315]

No

[@michigangundogoutdoors9234]

Idk whare your at but in MI the ms 660 is $1250 out the door and this China Wonder is $450 little bigger difference in price, all holzforma did was took sthils Patton when it expired

[@devinmccloud]

$310 + $33 for a 28" bar and Chain. $79 for shipping. Total = $421.

[@ikesquirrel]

Lots of problems with these saws. By the time you fix/replace the cheap/broken parts that matter, you might as well buy the real deal.

[@Gruuvin1]

Ya think? Might as well spend three times as much? Nah... Not when it's just a tool you use to make a living.
