Farmertec Holzfforma G660 Improving?

[GeneralKayoss]

I did 40 in all of them, but I dont mill. Local that mills with 2 G660 and G888 I think he said he does 32:1.

VPracing oil does a heck of a coating even at 40:1 in all of them.

Last oil I picked up was some cheap Briggs and Stratton brand. Better go 25:1 lol

ya I run 32:1 in everything (stock, ported,and piped) but I run cheap oil and they didn't switch from 32:1 to 50:1 for the engines it was a emissions based change.

Yeah I don't run 50:1 in anything. Don't trust it.

I built 2 of these Farmertec 066s from kits for milling. When I bought the kits they were about 200 -230 each with shipping. The good thing about building one is that you can build with upgraded parts (bearings etc) and overcome some issues. I have been milling with my first build for more than two years now without issue. I run a 25:1 mix to help keep the engine cooler. When logging, the power-head is running full speed intermittently which aids in cooling. Running a big saw full throttle for a half tank of fuel does heat things up a lot. Again, knock on wood, I am still running without issue and I mill mainly oak and hickory. Have fun!

I don't know how many years I've had my farmertec 660 either 3 or 4 years. I ran a tuned expansion pipe on it one year cutting firewood and it survived just fine at 32:1. I had a exhaust lava wrap on the exhaust where it set on the dogs and when it would start smoking because it was so hot I'll let her cool down a little.

still running like a champ and 100% farmertec parts so far.

Not worth it when there are near mint ported 660s available for $1100

Where do I find one of those?

This site doesn’t like the “competition“ from the other forums I guess. Kinda childish. Here’s a screenshot of the link to go to

@huskihl That saw looks and sounds good, I'm surprised it's still available. I'm interested in buying the saw, I noticed on the other site that you said you would mediate the sale. Is that the best way to handle this or would you rather not go that route?

Yeah I will do that. Send me a PM and we can take it from there

I haven't posted on this site much, not sure how to pm you - I just 'started a conversation'.

Here is his ported 660 ad on FB to talk to him if needed. Lots of pics and video. https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...f=marketplace_profile&referral_code=undefined

I've been running my G660 for almost 3 years now. I replaced the clutch, muffler, and some screws before I finished the first tank and it has run great ever since. I run everything on 25:1 after seizing up my 064 on 50:1. Spark plugs are way cheaper than top end kits... For the first 5 gal of mix that I put through the G660, I was primarily running a 42" bar milling a 6' oak trunk into slabs that I could get loaded on my trailer to haul to the mill. That was early summer when the temps were over 95 degrees, and I normally worked about 10 hrs a day at it trying to get the tree cleaned up in the back yard. The sequence was run a tank of fuel, sit in the shade for 10 min and drink a bottle of water, refill the saw, touch up the chain, repeat. I lost 10 pounds that month. The saw did fine. I'd never a new 90cc power head that costs under $350 delivered to my door to have the same build quality as a new off the shelf OEM pro saw. If I ever need to purchase another saw, it will likely be blue.

Can anyone tell me what goes in this top cover hole? IDK if the threads are stripped or if it had a nut on the back. Nothing threads in.

Edit - So apparently the threads stripped somehow and the screw fell out. I'll either have to tap it with the next size up or sleeve it.
