    I've got the Neotec NS892, so the basic clone 660 version Neotec makes. Got it for dirt cheap (only reason I bought it, honestly). Surprisingly, Once I tuned it up, takes all of 3 pulls to start when cold. Never more than 1 pull, once warm. Did some mild porting, cleaned up the piston ports and installed Caber rings, dual port muffler mod, pro flow filter, 3/4 wrap, HD Stihl clutch cover and a few other things. It rips and I have less than 500.00 into it total. It has earned a spot alongside my Dolmar 7900 (still can't believe I'm saying that about a clone saw). Now I've got to rebuild and port my 576xp and try to make it outrun this damn clone.... Lol

    I just got my F-660VW FARMMAC three days ago , l demonstrated the saw to friend who’s in tree business for fifty years and he’s been a stihl man he just couldn’t believe the comprehension it had and the power! He was very impressed. We had 5- below zero up
    In NEW YORK where l live and -37 degrees in Watertown New York l used the F-660VW to cut fire wood and l ripped all the logs then cut cross grain to save from having to slit the wood it was so darn cold, but got it done and sat by the fire! These 660-s
    Are great l hope they’ll hold up. Good luck with yours! STEVE

    Bought both the NT and FT 660 clones a couple years ago. The NS 892 has a little more power. Got the G660 Pro (because of the hydodip). Have removed the baffles in the mufflers, put a single exhaust outlet 7/8”. And Proflo air filters on both. Both run like sewing machines. FT had to replace throttle trigger and multi function lever. NT had one clutch spring break. Very happy with both.

    I can tell you for certain this saw is the same inside as the orange version. I've been in my neotech 892 and inside one of the newer farmmac saws and the only difference is the colors. The 892 I have runs right alongside my factory 660 and if the color wasn't different I could not tell which one I was running. I have had mine two years, and I have run the hell out of it, my 660 still looks new cause the neotech gets all the run time.

      No need to replace AFTERMARKET parts, till you run them. Many AFTERMARKET parts are good quality. Many you tubers don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Many you tubers absolutely lie about not being sponsored. Its their job to never put the product down. Thankfully, there are some that have no problem calling out a dud.

I just bought a Farm Mac 660 with the 99cc engine I am just breaking it in now. I have a 25, 28,32,36, & a 42" bar for these & also Farmertec 288 & 395 saws also! They all are the real deal now. They never fail to start & run!🤩🤩🤩🤩

    I have a modded Stihl MS661. It has a barkbox muffler plate, a MaxFlow air filter and cover, decompression plug, 3 point felling spikes, and a 41 inch Cannon bar. I've actually been wanting to get one of these 660 clones to use as a secondary milling saw. They're cheap, all parts are interchangeable with oem, and I like the fact that they come with some stuff to help rebuild them. I'd probably end up having parts on it that are more expensive than the saw itself!

    • @novicelumberjack
      @novicelumberjack  Год назад +4

      40 or 50:1 Red Armor. You'll be fine. People get way too caught up in this topic. They are all pretty good. Just stay away from Stihl Ultra. And 40:1 will be great with any two stroke oil. Very rarely does a saw burn up because of oil. They burn up because people can't diagnose an air leak or cannot properly tune their carburetor.

  • @garrytalley8009
    @garrytalley8009 Год назад +1

    Nice review. I am sure that these saws are good for a novice. Only if one is a professional do they need to considerer the name brand. However, these knock offs are done only after they have quit building the model do they give others the right to build them to their specs. Huskaverna may not be a good clone to buy because they are going green. You will only be able to buy knock off parts for them if they need repair. Stihl clones are a better choice because you can get OEM parts. The EV version does have an OEM carb with the OEM filter as well as a better spark plug. I am considering one of these myself as soon as my budget frees up. I have some large blow downs at my farm that need cleaned up.

    The FARMMAC's F660 performance is more what I expected. I believe there is something wrong with Bodie's FARMMAC 372, especially on what appeared to be low resistant when he pulled on the cord to start it. Unless I'm told otherwise, I think his 372 is a lemon. Nothing like taking it easy for the initial break-in, LOL.

    • @novicelumberjack
      @novicelumberjack  Год назад +4

      I can't speak to others' experience with the 372 clone saws, but my FARMMAC 372 is a TURD. After Saw Fest, I will be diving deep into it to find out precisely what is holding it back. I'll make it SING, and then it will be a Holiday giveaway saw.

      @@nathanbigsby8731 I don't know why theft is condemned. Look, the Latins stole everything from the conquered peoples, the English stole from the conquered peoples, the Europeans stole from the Amerindians, the Chinese stole from everyone.
      People are very creative when they have a fortune behind them.

      What I don't understand is how they are selling them in the states without the EPA attacking them. The current offerings from the big 3 chainsaw makers had to revamp their products and phase out these old models because of emissions. But then the clones show up, with packaging that suggests running 25:1 fuel and get a free pass. I don't get it.

    My sthil 362 will eat this saws lunch I have them both and the 362 is 30cc smaller 50% lighter and by the time you buy this POS and put a good bar and chain on it you could have bought a real saw for a few bucks more don’t waste your money on these when new i tried this saw knowing it was a pile and had a few bucks to waste and that’s exactly what it was a waste 😂 trust me or learn the hard way been doing this my whole life

    I’m honestly not sure anymore that they all(walboro, sthil) have production plants in China and assemble elsewhere and say it’s made where it’s assembled. Love this stuff brother 🦾❤️‍🔥 I like the Farmertec ones but that’s all I have held. Great overview the g660 are fun.!! How was the start, tune and restart out of the box ?? The “walboro” that came on it needed diaphragm alterations. It worked great afterwards. I have a few videos about it.
