FarmerTec Holzfforma G660 Purple Monster

[Bedford T]

$500-$600, plus how much in time? Not sure about you, but my time is worth something. Another $150 maybe? You can buy a hell of a lot of 660 for $750, and it's actually worth $750. Good luck getting $750 out of an AM one, if you fully disclose what's under the hood. And the hood...

You are in a different world. My time is mine. I have sold them to people that wanted them because I built them. I never built one to sell. It's my hobby i make the point of it's value based on a box of overseas parts.

By the way I got 750

There I am back to wanting to see how I feel about this G660

I won't take all of the responsibility for the derail, just the majority of it

Much like firewood, the majority of the value to a kit saw would be in the labor. If you have some people willing to buy, more power to you.

I DO NOT SELL SAWS.

It's really hard to have a conversation when folks don't understand what you are talking about.

Firewood is cut on the ground
Trees are fell down.

One is much more dangerous than the other and my posted related to the danger of a saw failing in a fell not about income driven cutting firewood or home heating. Where the log lays on ground you cut it and if saw stops so what,

I am not going to chase this, you can't read. If you don't understand what all that means when taken in context using the words written.

I'm fully able to read and understand hypocrisy. No need to chase anything. Thanks for the insult.

 

[Bedford T]

Back at ya. I get frustrated when a simple point is taken out of context. When someone asks what will you sell that for is different that advertising something for sale and that is the point you missed, it's a shame you find it insulting, and the only conclusion I could reach

I never bought a husky kit. Your right in that to make a trustworthy saw you gotta replace some parts. It can be done i have a 660 that is good as the one they made. But it required work and attention to detail. I got 500-600 in a 1200 saw.

I walk up to a tree and going to cut it down I don't want the thing melting on me half way in. Things happen fast. The case and tank and things are OEM quailty but you do, you must, make changes and you only have half the cost in it. thats a prize.

I replace, decomp, circlip, piston bearing, rotor, elastostart, cylinder, piston, carb, fuel hose, throttle bar, trigger, rim kit. Improved on the foil with header tape. The kit gives you the framework.

Cutting firewood it would be safe, felling is another matter

You should try the husky kit. I think you would like it. The only OEM parts I used were an o ring that was missing from the kit and an OEM decomp. It is so much better than the 660 kit I got.

Oh, and keep us informed how the blue saw does.

Just like "I got" is different than "I would take" right? Or is that out of context?

 

[Bedford T]

I swear, I don't know why I have not pulled the trigger on a husky. I am sure your right.

I am a Ford man, I look at the other stuff but I buy Ford, and so goes with the Stihl. Maybe one day.

I sure will, on the blue, again is it blue. I am no good a shades of color

I used to be brand loyal, but not anymore. I have a Ford truck now but will probably try a Chevy next time. My outdoor power equipment consists of Husqvarna, Stihl, Dolmar and Echo. Some I really like and would buy again and some I wish I would have bought another brand in. Some companies make top notch in one area and lack a little in other areas.
I think you would like the husky kit. It's a little more simple to put together I think, once you figure out where all the parts go

We had to get one of these big Blue saws to try out, I mean they come with full wrap handle bar and it has free shipping! Looks good and started right up, no problems, good power and a nice dark blue color, what's not to like?

I would have liked to break it down to check the cylinder for squish and make sure the ports got a bit bevel and smoothed out. But decided just use it and see how it does.

I doubt it will out last my Stihl 044, but it cost about half the price!

 

[Bedford T]

I know what you mean. I like the color too

They don't understand what we build, I guess.

At $300 shipped it’s less than a third of a pro Stihl. Then again, that Chinese metallurgy makes it a questionable bargain even at that price. I just broke or blunted half a dozen Ryobi drillbits this evening trying to drill out a steel rivet. I had bought a similar set a year or so ago and they worked great. This batch however was soft. When I switched to an older bit it went right through that rivet in seconds. That’s Chinese workmanship for you. Sometimes it’s good and cheap, but as often as not it’s junk.

 

[Bedford T]

On the name plate it says 3rd generation machine.

1. Stihl ms660
2. Farmertec ms660 kit
3. Holzfforma G660

I get that now

I wonder if most guys walked in to their Ace and saw this blue saw (or a kit) for 300$ next to a new Stihl 1000$ ms660. The blue would sell out. Or they would buy both and hedge their bets. I think it would sell out, I do. When they felt it. The kit or this one are real, this is maybe prettier.
