I read that the clone 372 was tested in the real world and lasted for 6 months. The crankbearings and lower rod bearing didn’t last. This came from one of the saw builder guys on youtube he was testing the farmertec saws.
Not a pro logger quality saw but for the cost it’s questionable. If I got one I’d run heavier oil ratio or change the crank, rod out to a husky.

Some of us might wish they'd stop the Chinese cloning for awhile, there's about as many clones out there as there are originals..
They have their own warehouse in the US now. So shipping right from US on some stuff till they get it all over here.
I hadn't heard that, but its also a common failing of the OEM saw as well ,so it would make sense since they are a copy.
What others have reported that a year in production use the plating would peel off the cylinder, I personally have not seen it ,but now there's a new coating with titanium in it and a few of the porters have said its crazy hard to work with, so as long as your not going to go for a ported saw it should last as long as OEM, just like Meteor.
All that being said, if your not working enough in production to pay for 4 clone 372s in a week your doing it wrong. If your dropping trees on neighborhoods then you can really buy a metric shitt ton of clones!
250.00 vs 850.00 can be alot to a new business but after a month you could afford 2 nice 572xps or a fantastic 500i and give your neighbors kid the clones.
If they make the 288 I'm in to try it.
If you're just starting out in the tree cutting business you don't have to buy a clone saw. They sell Echo saws just down the street from me and a new one is cheaper than some clone saws I've seen that are for sale...
That been said, I give my customers what they want when I repair their saws. If they want a Chinese piston that's what I give them...

I like mine but wish it had a de-comp on it..paid less for it than a clone would cost and it's all original.
The shipping is the major problem with China saws right now. I ordered a part some time ago and it took over a month or more to get it..
Here's where I got banned from the Facebook page
I'm never In a hurry for anything much.
I have an abundance of saws I can just grab another.
I really like the hyway popup pistons
I have 8 no issue's at all
Good performance Increase In
266 and 268 oem cylinders
Haven't tried am cylinders for those.
I do have some very strong hyway cylinder kits on 372s.
The farmertec were ok to run.
I haven't had any issues with parts

If they’re selling them out of an American warehouse don’t they have to abide by epa regs? I figured this was a grey area before but what’s the difference between them doing it and Husky selling Brazilian made 372s out of a warehouse. I’m not a copyright or import export expert, so maybe I’m wrong.
Like said above. They have a warehouse in US now.
Once that gets stocked it there wont be shipping problems IMO. Except for USPS. They are still freaking iffy at best.
Seems the old shipping cost is now in the price of the US stock.
Few things they show there now.

Don't worry someone will report them
A friend of mine in another country was helping people get the
New gen Stihl saws well before they were released
In the us and Canada.
Someone be went out of their way to report him to Stihl.
Probably a Stihl dealer.
I'm definitely going to get a 395 saw in blue if they ever put it out , the 3120 looks like it shitt the bed compared to an 088 so I wouldn't go for one of those.
The 395s are one saw you just can't touch without ridiculous money, even a heavy used one goes for 700.00 and for that kind of cash I'm not tearing it apart for seals and rings. Once the 288 and 395 hit the market that is gonna be a game changer for most hobbyists.
I bought a fairly decent 394xp for 300.00 a few months ago and I realize that it was a very good deal but how many stories of guys scoring them for less then 500 do you hear where the saw actually ran and was usable?

Nah
It was a guy who couldn't afford one
And didn't want anyone else
Getting one
If he couldn't have one.
That's how saw guy's are now I guess
I got a free 394 last month needs bearings no biggie.
I prefer the 288 over the 394/395
That's what I always ran.
I have a few 288s buy I'll build one of the ft if they ever get released.
