In the past I have purchased a total of three different G660 powerhead (blue thunder) Units. Here I'm giving a review and opening a discussion to help people find solutions to issues that the non existent customer service for farmertec cannot provide. First saw I ever bought was a few years ago and it required much tweaking before I could take it into the woods. Fast forward a year I bought an extra powerhead and never needed it until this year. Fired it up and ran it for a few hours and it shut off. Engine blew. Tried and failed miserably to get any assistance from farmertec. Sent an email and got a generic non reply back several days later. Because the Amazon warranty was expired I took a chance and ordered one more. And this one I just got has been amazing. I'm running a 25" Stihl with a half skip chain and running through maples like nothing. I'm clearing 3 acres I recently purchased to develop for my families homestead.It looks as tho Farmertec quality issues are either hit and miss or they are improving. I'm running 40:1 oil ratio and this saw has ran like a true 660 since I've taken it out of the box. No tuning needed and it fires right up no matter how cold it is. $350 is way better than $1350, but that's my opinion.And now I have a nice parts saw if anything breaks on it My opinion is it's a good saw for the price. What about you guys?
