You trash them with your foul mouth, bad attitude. A thread has a subject and staying on subject is expected. Except for trouble makers like you.

the one thing I notice throughout all your threads is that you are a prick in all them.

Are the blue saws lasting?
I have one for testing.
So far it’s being used at a sawmill and has 4 gallons through it.
If it lasts to the 20 mark the topend is coming off for inspection. Mix is 40:1 kl200.

Out the box it was turning 13,8k.
The H was turned about 1/2 way out and the L was 1 3/4. The La was screwed in to compensate for the rich idle. I hope that’s not how they are normally shipped it wouldn’t have lasted long.
That’s the second top handle already.

They used their cylinder, well all their parts, just some painted. You have tossed many of them.

They are using the same rubber on them and long term we know how that turns out. I bet you can ride one hard for a year cutting firewood. I wonder if the carb will keep the cylinder lubed enough for milling, neither would likely put anyone in danger. Change out some parts and it could be more. The good part the carb is tuneable. Only brand that consistently worked for me. It appeared they did good assembling the saw. The clutch cover has very little room to exhaust some chips which might weaken the springs from overheating. There are a few points that need attention. We will be seeing some orange, blue, cream colored saws in our future.

Lots of kits being built just not in the forum anymore. There you have control.

No real surprise given that generally, the response from the forum is negative. There are plenty of resources now on how to build a kit saw. And anyone doing them for the first time will often come post. But on arrival the flavor of the conversation is negative...the irony to me, it's as if an Echo or a Timberwolf or whatever, made by the same kinds of chinese manufacturing, are in some way better. Patent law is quite easy to understand here, 17 years and generic is legal. As if anyone isn't glad when their favorite blue pill went generic and dropped to 10%. Or that car parts are actually competitive. I like my OEM Stihls and wouldn't replace em with a chinese saw for nothin. But, I don't feel any more guilty about building a few of them than I would buying an Echo or something else made in the same places.

That's a shame. My channel helps folks. There I can zap a smart ass in seconds and email makes troubleshooting easy.

I think it's great you like echo. You share that often in an unrelated thread, here for example.

Never had an Echo, except a line trimmer I bought 25 years ago. I use it an example of acceptable while a FT is treated as not.

Just to clarify when I say being used at a mill it’s just bucking logs to length. It tuned pretty quick and so far it holds it good. I feel the first failure may the the top bearing,but we’ll see. The bar is a 32” so the saw is loaded up and is worked pretty hard. I have a good source on hyway topend kits if the farmer one fails.
Hope your weather don’t get to bad your way

Not you dav

I have not made up my mind about the blue saws. Since you don't own one I am not sure you comment alot of weight. It will take about 20 tanks to see how it holds up.


One small remark made by a guy lit up the internet, sort of, about the blue saws being made by someone else. Sort of like in a Stihl factory after hours when everyone went home, lol.

Are you wanting a receipt for proof I have one?
I think a lot of saw builders have moved to FB to share info and parts. I’m a member of one currently and it’s a private group of a couple hundred members and growing.
Theirs several from this site on there

Do you feel free to say bad things about FarmerTec parts posting in their Facebook forum. I don't. Here we told posters when to cut and run with a part. I just don't see that happening there.

Thinking outside the box, they could have made fake accounts and blew this site up to drive posters there? Kinda like the Russians did. Weird. Be careful.

Its not their FB page.
It’s a private page so you have to be accepted to enter, And for the most part fake accounts can be spotted.
I’ve looked at most all the members profile page and by all the photos and info I doubt there’s any Chinaman there.
The atmosphere is very friendly and helpful.

The profile page is created by the user. Facebook accounts that were used in 2016 election by Russians were as old as 10 years. Using real addresses in the states. So let that be no comfort. It's their job to seem real. But, I understand what you said.

I am just saying to the group there is a lot to consider.

I now have 14 tanks through my blue saw. Installed a h/o oiler in it and it has spent every tank in 32" plus red oak. The saw runs better with each tank! At this point I am very pleased with the performance of this saw. I have 2 stihl oem saws and am building another. The blue saw thus far runs equal to the oem's.

That is great. Besides running great it needs to hold up. We will need to wait on that verdict. Mine is holding up too. Thanks for sharing

It is created by the user. If another user is let in and is causing trouble or has ill intentions their easily kicked. As of right now it’s a easy way to share info and parts in our small group. I got a ms260 for $50 and was given a hyway topend. I returned the favor and helped someone else out.
As for China spy’s. Anything’s posable but not likely.

Yes there’s evidence of Russia on social media like any other platform. But do they really influence people one way or another to make a difference?
Ive never ran across their propaganda

How did you get an ms260 for $50, if you don't mind me asking?
