Hi Scott, they really have.. I got a chance yesterday to cut some fresh ash and was really impressed...so much so that the guy there bought it so need to order again...
@@scottfoster2487 they sure do...I'm addicted to their website!... Here's a pic to one I got earlier m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2246701452281300&id=1594803887471063
Thanks... Best of luck with saw. When saw arrives remove air filter cover and you will see the top cover is resting on cylinder. I removed cover and handle to grind down otherwise it will burn through. Should have been done in factory but someone got lazy! Good saw if not abused.
@@mickmac7264 arrived today, my expectations were low so when I noticed the fuel tank was broken I wasn't really let down. I had a genuine 372xp that was pretty much a parts saw so I swapped tanks and that "holzforma" screams. I also looked at both saws and even Husqvarna cylinder is touching the top cover, so I'm going to run it as is.
Anybody paying top dollar for the real thing after watching this video should know they are getting ripped off big time especially if you don't make your living with a chainsaw,these clones are good enough for me,good video by the way.
Thanks... Even if I was cutting pro I'd have one of these as a back up saw. Not everyone can reach that OEM price tag and these saws are an excellent alternative...I've just fitted the 52mm cylinder to it and man can it cut!... OEM have ruled the market for so long and I'm delighted that there is some competition out there now...
Jose Sanchez yes I agree. Way I see it some times you need to cut a saw out lol When it’s really hot it’s nice not to dog your saws a swap them out as they heat up. I would recommend building your own. I did a ms 660 shitl Lots of things to correct lol it’s broken in and making lumber. These are way better than any consumer saw you can buy. A bad pro saw is still a pro saw lol
Hey man came over to your channel to ask this question and get caught up on your videos. AFleetcommand said in one of his videos and showed that the chainsaw bar plate on the Farmertech g372 XP didn't line up right. It looked like the top slot where the oil came out sat to high maybe. Does it look like they got that part sorted out and have it to where it fits like an OEM plate now? Didn't catch the date on the video hell it could of been a super early release model for all I know. thanks man!
Hey....no issues with plate it lines up perfect. One thing I did notice tho is the bar studs could be a touch bigger in width as it makes the nose of the bar ride a little high.. I'll order some OEM to sort that...I did change the oiler to a better quality aftermarket with better results that gives me plenty oil for a 20" bar.
I worked in the woods for many years, often times you could purchase a name brand saw and it blew up anyway. Then you were out of quite a bit of time and money?
50:1 is the proper ratio. You can safely run 40:1 too. But 32:1 and 25:1 and higher oil ratios are not good on these modern saws. The carburetor circuit passages are smaller than the old saws of the 50's 60's and 70's, and too much oil in the gas can actually clog or slow the flow of gas/oil mix down while air flow stays the same thus causing a lean condition and burning up the saw.
@@mickmac7264 depends on how much the saw can take. its still a copy, hopefully a good one with few tolerances but still a copy. same as my 070. break in is 25:1 but after 4-5 tanks im going 32:1 but not lower (or is it higher ? :D )
@@NathanVdV :D I seen guys running 16:1 !! its like a mower with a head gasket gone!! too much oil can cause a saw to run lean...also the mistake is to turn in H to compensate for heavy four stroking... Im using husky xp oil in the clones which is rated as 50:1 mix so 40 should be good, at least on paper...but as you said they are copy's.... the 660 has the 56mm cylinder and some porting and likes to swallow petrol so stays at 32... I might just go 40 on the 372 to see how how it holds up, good thing bout these saws is parts are cheap.. if she blows up no harm done!
They have really made some serious improvements in quality of materials and build quality.
Hi Scott, they really have.. I got a chance yesterday to cut some fresh ash and was really impressed...so much so that the guy there bought it so need to order again...
They also have a good grouping of 70-94 cc Stihl clones that are sweet and plenty of power.

As an American I think Irish people have the best accent, and I value your opinion to the extent that i just purchased one for 237.15$

@@milkman2591 Thats annoying! was the box all bashed up?....Yeah they can cut no doubt
@@mickmac7264 yeah the box was a bit knackered. But I leaned out the high and low and put a touch more idle to it and it puts my old 372xp to shame
@@milkman2591 Great stuff and best of luck with it... Mine starts well every time and idles nice, thinking of buying another to keep shiney :D
I did the big bore kit on one too, they run and work great!
Cut some fresh ash recently with it with the BB kit fitted...it just eats it!...very impressed... might just get another one!! :D
Thanks for your input! I currently have a Stihl MS260 but need a bigger one as well . I think I’ll end up with this one.
No prob... certainly a easy option in terms of cost to jump up on some cc's 👍
I think they are great even the kit saws run and work great!

Yeah that would be frustrating... Even if still under warranty you would have to wait some time to get the OEM saw back!...time is money in the woods!
My book says 32:1 but wanted to buy husky premix 50:1. You think thats bad?
50:1 is the proper ratio. You can safely run 40:1 too. But 32:1 and 25:1 and higher oil ratios are not good on these modern saws.

Be good to see a video of a big bore being put on one of these
I just did it today Joshua but forgot I said Id do a vid of it :/ ...
Cool particularly complicated for a novice? Be good to see it running and your thoughts on how it's changed the power cheers
@@joshuataylor9791 No not hard to do at all...the right tools etc for the job is half the battle...have you one of these saws?
I’m semi pro👍
i would not go below 32:1.
No...I'll prob go 40...too much oil is not good either!
