Best Chinese chainsaw, Farmertec Vs Neotec Vs ?

[holeycow]

It certainly does not make up for your efforts and frustration.

But at least you will not lose the money.

I am now perplexed. Thank-you for your story.

How heavy is the husky 372?

Pic was posted with those pics with PHO dry weight. That was half wrap single small spike weight.

While neo is still trying to get on their feet and selling same old stuff like 66 070. FT offered those many years ago. FT has the best selection to choose from IMHO.

It's all online google search the companies sometime.

Plus they have grown even bigger in 2023.

Amazon did give me a refund and 8 hours later Neotec sent me an email saying UPS lost the package and if I did not get a refund they would send me another saw. It seems odd it took all that to admit there was a problem. I am probably lucky it worked out this way as I am not sure if the replacement would have been any better. I have been looking at reviews for Neotec/Farmmac saws and it seems as though some have good luck and some not so good. Novice Lumerjack has a video on YouTube where he is trying a new Farmmac 372 and even with a carb change it will not run correctly.

If you have trouble fine tuning a small engine, the clones saws may not be for you. Also ,anyone pedaling one saw or another might be motivated by free saws from one company or another, I'm always suspicious when goods or money is changing hands.

I got my G2500 puppy earlier this week and tuned it up a little bit. I then took it to work to disassemble a couple of dead maple trees/bushes. After running 4 tanks of mix through it I was hearing the drum sprocket squeal, also it runs,oils and starts very well but felt alittle restricted.
I removed the cluth and greased the bearing, problem solved.
Then I removed the flywheel (blue locktight on the nut) and filed the key almost 1/2 way towards advanced.
It definitely sounds good now it was hitting in the higher RPMs afterwards.
I have to put it to the test after the holidays.

Heard about their big 3120 clone. Any idea on a US release date?

I was hoping Christmas. But supply issues just like we have here getting parts. The molded color parts are the hold up getting the 1st batch ready for release is the hearsay.

I have never seen any clone from FT come with greased clutch bearing when arrived. One of the first things I do before running any of their saws.

G3800 clone of zenoah redmax 3800 pairs nice with tophandle 2500.

I have posted my issues with Neotec/Farmmac and here is what UPS found out. By the way Amazon stepped up and gave me a refund.

Dear Bruce,

Thank you for contacting us.

I am really sorry that your package has not been delivered, I understand that this may be frustrating because you have not received updates about this package, our records indicate that this tracking number has been identified as counterfeit and you will need to communicate with your shipper or speak with your bank to dispute the charges. I am afraid that we do not have any additional information at this time.

I am hoping for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Walter M.

Older local showed up with a unopened Farmertec box yesterday. I had him order it from a trusted dealer I deal with in MT.

So I sold him a bar and got paid labor rate to finish putting together and start and check over and tune.

Well worth the 364 shipped for the G372xp pro ones that come with meteor topends cylinder piston and walbro carb etc.

Fired right up. Easy money.

I have Stihl, and Husqvarna, and even a little Mac, and I have had a few Pioneers in the past, even a big old Remington years ago, but when I needed a truly big saw, I could not justify the price, so I took a leap, (giant one for me) and bought a Farmertec G660.

I remember when Japenese product was junk, and called Japcrap and for good reason. That changed, and today, their products are excellent. I wondered if that transformation is also taking place in China.

That saw has been used for a bit of firewood for break in, then it's been on the chainsaw mill for over a year. It's given me no issues what so ever. It's never been modded, and is still as I bought it, even has the original Chinese sparkplug. I do use a bar oiler on the mill though. 36" is a bit much for the saws oiler. The plastics seem to be of lesser quality, but they work, and they gave me a metal guard for the bottom of the saw.

That experience has me wondering about other Chinese saws.

I have since found Neotec don't know if there are others. What has been your experience?
