FarmerTec Holzfforma G660 Purple Monster

I didn’t see the emissions sticker in any photos. You think the Chinese spent the years plus what it costs for all the govt testing?

There was also a time where it meant quailty. After the war people held a grudge and we bombed the crap out of them, hence crap.

I agree with you, but will add that I remember when Made in Japan meant it was junk, if nails bent easy they were called "jap nails", sunbeam cars, or even the first Honda Cars were pretty much considered junk. Now days Japan's products are considered high quality.

That said, China has a ways to go be for being considered top quality, but their products are improving.

Absolutely not. What I was thinking was if the Stihl passed EPA and these are a direct copy, would they pass as well? I have no idea, I was just wondering.

Nice that something is out there to take up the yoke when you find out your old P51 Pioneer is made of Studerbakerium.

Lol, your taking no responsibility for the poor assembly, rushing, hard headed, folklore was the service manual of the kit buyer who builds his own saw

With the same parts if you do it carefully they saw kit would last a year, you replace the parts and do the work and it will last long time, of course with it swinging from a helicopter is not good for any saw

It seems weird to me that the assembled kit saws seem to not have near the issues that the kits have. Makes me wonder if they use better "grade" parts or different vendors for the assembled ones? It would be nice if someone took one apart to see how they got around tge issues or if the parts are just right and better?

If it's a copy they meet the standard.

How can these saws be sold in the U.S. without meeting EPA standards?

It might be a copy of a design that no longer meets EPA regs.

that's why it works.

With all this talk about sustainable renewable fuel, I would think an old Lombard with a bad oiler diaphragm should pass cutting wood over some other brainfart ideas.

Yes we do have cell service here and in most the islands towns, and land lines to, internet is Hughes net satellite, and APT for electricity.

Alaska has no price gouging laws, so our prices in remote areas can really hurt the wallet! That said itt can be a real pita and quite spendy to get things shipped here, no one wants to ship to AK, just to lower 48! But Huztl ships here!

They are changing that law that helps them ship. Gonna nip it. That is going to hurt us

Watch the post office rates. They gave them a break shipping in. I think sooner than later. Hawaii, Alaska will get hit hardest

Our postal workers are on some kindofa rotating strike right now.

Just had to throw that out there

Here is a close up look at the saw. I have had it over a week and did not want to throw video out when those 200t videos were rolling out. You can see the pores on its skin, it's so close, no cutting. could that be powder coating? i am not a paint guy. if it does not say it somewhere then idnk

I mention the trigger in here. The trigger may be fine, we need to run it and see. A chain sharpening kit came in the box and I doubt it is included. I do not remember whether I show that or not, so I will just warn you if i did show it.

It was said on one of the YouTube videos of the g660 that they were built for huztl by another company, not farmertec. True or not, I don't know. One thing that kinda makes me believe it is the g365 saw they sell has a 48mm cylinder unlike the 50 mm that the kit saw comes with.

You keep mentioning this other company building them and it was driving me crazy. I went and found Kimball video and he said a third party puts them together for them. Farmertec is a manufacturer and buyer. They make/buy stuff, box it up, ship it all over the world. Huztl is their amazon. The other stuff is shipped. They needed assemblers to put the stuff together. They also are behind Arbortec.net on HL website and eBay. Their core business is not twisting screws (wink)

Dude it's a building where the workers assembly the saw parts Farmertec provides into whole saws. Some small business guy has some trained workers and he brings them into the building on the days they need saws built. That is all there is to it. Not big blue company doing it. I think Farmertec has a lot of buildings.

It amazes me how turned around y'all get. I guess it's the stupid small phones and our action packed lives, lol

Did you ever notice the 070 is assembled, it's the same deal. You would not want the guys packing those kits building those saws...right lol

How do you fight assumptions the Bedford way? Make your own and insinuate everyone is paranoid. Brilliant!

Do you really assume that Farmertec cares that much about assembly? Its a dude with a mallet, a press and a T27 going to town. Price is way to low to be much more even at their labor and material costs.

The only Chinese clone saw I'd be interested in would be the 070/090 clone, since they're really hard to find parts for. As to the 660, I can find low hour used saws everywhere and freshen them up with OEM rings etc.... for less than $600 total and have a reliable / known quantity saw. The Chinese hobby saw would have to be much less than that to get my attention. I have the time to spend tinkering, but not the money to waste. I do however enjoy reading about others who have the coin and patience to over come the challenges posed.
