Chinese husky big bore ported

[MCW]

This saw will be my main saw and I'll use it hard. I must get a video of her with the 28" bar attached.

Oh yeah, the chain I'm running is a round filed chisel.

Did you wear out your loop of square chisel mate?

It says, ahem, 365EPA with a meaningless serial number.

Ack! My 385xp ID tag says "ahem" as well! I got ripped off! Crickey!

You blokes are so kewl - yep, you're going to Hell, just wait until this forum wakes up in North America.

If they start making 385XP saws I'll be all over them just for the top ends!

I was actually about to say something along the lines of it looking like a race chain.... you cheating over there, bud?

Anyone see the lyre bird post, btw? WTH?

What's it say on the riveted ID tag Al ?

"Slanty 365"

Impressive what's the price? I would be interested to see how they do in long term use. As much as I hate buying Chinese crap it looks like they got that one right. I guess it is like buying a Brazilian 090. Well, I would love to stay and chat but I gotta go help a friend build a shed. opcorn:opcorn:

Is that the one with it making chainsaw noises? Thats a cracker. The footage of that has been around for years - the greenies have even used that footage as a promo for saving trees saying that the birds must have been overexposed to the evil chainsaw.

Does this saw come with the husky large bar studs ? Just wondering because mine came with the small studs - not a real special i guess...

I almost bought a EH-372xp from EMAS does anyone know if the are as good as the HH-365. I can get 1 for $180USD . Looks just like the real 372xp but reads gas powered chainsaw on the starter cover as well as EH-372xp even has high air filter cover. any info would help. Just curious because in the US it's hard to get real 372's

No just a hand filed loop of chisel. Fairdinkum Wes I wouldn't know where to start with a race chain.

You guys in the states wouldn't actually find the price that tempting as over half the value is freight. You're looking a tad under USD$400 including 20" B&C landed to Australia.
That price in Australia is an absolute bargain considering. Even the Husky HD high top filter kit fits a treat and stops the dust too.

It's not too difficult, especially if you've ground on steel before, it's just ridiculously time consuming. I have a 'woods grind' chain I am gonna try out here soon enough.

I forgot to add - it was a woods grind chain I used in the video I have of my 372XP beating an 066mag.

Nah mate don't touch them. Dealing in Chinese saws is a risky business. If it wasn't for me having a Chinese supplier who I can trust who is willing to do some groundwork there is no way I'd have bought these saws - in all honesty you have a 95% chance of buying a POS, especially if you're only paying USD$180! These 365 clones were only brought in to test the BB kits on that I'm also importing. I'm also getting a wide range of spares in too for normal Huskys based off of these saws.
As mentioned if you get a poor copy you'll seriously regret it. In fact out of all the Chinese saws I've seen these are the only ones that are any good, and I've seen a few.

 

[AUSSIE1]

Do you mean these are better mate or not?



Wow, you got a Greenwood! I got a 汉语/漢語 or something like that...

How does the Chinese bottom end look compared to the reel thing?

In addition to what Matt said - don't buy from Big Bear Tools either. They produce a lot of 365, 381, 070, etc. copies.
