Well, $340, except it is missing over $100 worth of critical parts.
Project Farm reviewed the FarmMac brand which looks similar to the FarmerTec above. Love the similar brand names.
It didn't do quite as well as the Stihl, but it did do a lot better after tuning.
Nonetheless, I actually HAVE the old McCulloch. I don't have the FarmerTec.
I'm pretty sure the McCulloch was "Running when Parked".
However I rescued it from the edge of a shed, not well protected from the rain. It didn't cost me anything.
So, I need to clean up the chain. Then tear it down somewhat, inspect, oil, reattach the handle, then try to fire it up.
I have no doubt it was made for very heavy duty use over 50 years ago.
The chain is a pretty large pitch chain.
It might be a fun project to see how a 50 year old saw stacks up against an Amazon saw.
