Just another junk chainsaw

Morning Laugh in my chainsaw repair group.

We go through this all the time. Folks need to learn their chains they have or bring them in with them.

I bring my chain in. When I get a new chain I take the cover off the box and put it in the glove compartment.
Then clean the truck and throw it out!

Got her stumped yesterday. G466 and G444 for the dirty work.

Stump chunked.

Where I had cut was higher then measured at flare of 48". Ended up cutting 46x45.

Farmertec G444 even stock with their DP muffler is a beast.

Would you give the greenlight to buy a Farmertech big CC saw for running a 36” bar maybe 1-2 times/month? I don’t know if they offer one…..

Would you also give the green light to run one with an Alaskan saw mill? 80-90cc (whatever they make).

They make up to 122cc MS880 clone G888

Heck yes. I know guys been running them on mills for years. Some stock some modded.

You need to know your way around the older better chainsaws IMHO. How to tune, how to check over etc before using. Most are not plug and play like todays world. Heck even oem aint like that for me and echo's.

I would rather tear one of these up doing grunt work then a oem saw. Cheap to buy and cheap to fix.

G888 G660 G395 and now a G3120.

My G888 and G660 I had a local wanted for his mill set ups.

Guy I know in pic that makes a living milling.

They would probably work, for awhile.

What you want is this (below)...it's bomb proof and will last a very long time under heavy duty cycle. I just don't know if the chinaisium has all that much duty cycle.

They have a Gen2 of the MS880. The later ones with 2 piece mufflers. I hated them when 088 and 880 gen1 had cast muffler set ups.

Being your a stihl first kind of guy. G888 with a 361 coil. Mine would take locals 088 lunch.

But smaller cheaper G395 pullds 36" like a beast in hardwoods. Save weight and cost. Then G660 but only ran 66 oem and clones up to 32" hardwoods.


Clones you need to know how to tune etc from get go. No one to set them up right for ya. Unless you buy from Jes MT and Scott PA in USA and tell them set saw up and prerun for you. www.bluesaws.com

No more blue ones though. All orange, orange grey, etc now though.
