NEOTEC NS 892 powering Alaskan chainsaw mill

- Using a NEOTEC NS 892 as a powerhead for an alaskan chainsaw mill. Also features an appearance from my Stihl MS 500i and uncle Sven.
I chose to get a "knockoff" Stihl MS 660 for a powerhead on my chainsaw mill. Its cheaper to get into and cheaper to repair if an issue occurs. An alaskan mill is much harder on a chainsaw than normal felling/cutting rounds.
After you push your saw like that be sure to let it idle for a while so it can cool down. This is good practice before and after anytime you use your saw. I follow this practice when I am doing some heavy bucking. 40:1 mix is good and I reccomend amsoil. I like chicanic videos but she doesn’t always get things right. These saws can last and are readily repairable.
That is some pretty wood and a neat saw.
Thanks for watching!
If you line up the smaller brace bar that runs parallel to the log on your guide (2x4) it will be easier to keep your first cut straight.
Great job ! tree to lumber right in the bush, I'm just try my new mill on a few trees :)
Wooo! Uncle Sven!!!!!
I got NS 892, the saw is very strong, probably better than 500i,..
Gasoline consumption for milling that lumber please
How much liters or gallon
that saw sounds strong.
so the 892 vs the 895?
…oh and I searched Neo-tec 872 vs 892 chainsaw mill and your channel is second video under Chickanic “don’t buy this saw” but I don’t think she did a fair evaluation this time. She’s usually good.
I also saw that video but for the money savings I figured it was worth a go. I’ll try to make a review of the saw itself in the near future. 😃
@@cameronmundell7190 thanks. I think I’ll go ahead and pull the trigger. I can probably get by with the 872, but since I’ll only be using it to buck some larger logs for milling and milling, the 892/28” seems like the right combo. What’s your thought on the bar? I considered the power head and getting the 28” rollomatic (.050 3/8 91DL).
I definitely think the Stihl bar would be higher quality. I chose the 36” so I could mill as much as possible with one bar. I’d rather have a few extra inches than be a few short and have to buy a new bar. At this length they can get expensive quick regardless of the manufacturer. If you’ve got a sawmill on the way you may not have the need for a big bar and can get by with a little shorter one.
Will Husky bars fit on this saw?
Hey Cameron. I’ve had this in my shopping cart on Amazon on and off for a year. What are your thoughts on the saw since you have the MS500i. Clearly I don’t expect it to be a replacement, but my son and I want it just to do some milling on our channel like you’ve done. We will get a woodland mills soon. Any chance you can do a video with just a run down on the saw? I’ve seen a recent uptick on bad reviews. We are looking at the 28” bar. Thanks! Great content!
So to start, the 500i is an amazing saw and it is my favorite out of all my saws. I didn’t want to run tons and tons of hours up on it and constantly have to take the dogs off and on while milling/ cutting down trees.
The Neotec so far has been a great saw for me. I went into this not expecting that saw to be as good as a legit Stihl saw. With that in mind I’m not disappointed one bit. I also figured if I ran it enough to wear out pistons/ parts that it would be worth the money and then throw the real authentic Stihl parts in it to keep it going.
Id guess I have 6-8 hours of time on it and all are 100% milling. The biggest thing I’d recommend if you buy this saw was the chain was not sharp at all and I had to adjust the carburetor right out of the box although not very much. I’d buy a stihl chain or sharpen it yourself if you are comfortable doing so. After a good sharpening it cut way better.
@@cameronmundell7190 thank you! Just saw this reply. That’s a lot of great info and I agree all around. Seems all that applies to us as well. I’m not looking to do firewood and I know we will have a HM130 in the coming months. But we need to harvest some trees now and get them up to where we will be milling for siding and interior lumber.
The video would help and any thing you did out of the box to inspect, etc. I like the idea of replacing and rebuilding. We aren’t sawyers and we won’t use it every day. I think getting a stihl in this size wouldn’t be justified right now.
Is there an argument to be made for the 36” bar on smaller logs
a scarf cut would help
