Holzfforma G260/Stihl ms260

[thompsoncustom]

Anyone have the holzfforma brand g260 (ms260) clone? The only question I have about it is the weight. Stihl list the ms260 at 10.6 lbs but holzfforma list the g260 at almost 17lbs which doesn't seem possible. I didn't know if anyone had one and knew what the weight really was. I assume they are just measuring it different: with oil/gas or bar.

Let me know what you guys think or if anyone has some really numbers from either the g260 or ms260

I don't have a 260 clone, but my 361 and 372 clones weigh exactly what the real saws are supposed to weigh.

I’d be interested to know, The weights turned me off from recommending them to friends that won’t spend pro saw money. The g660 is really heavy per their specs.

My 660 clone also weighs very close to OEM Stihl.
I have no idea why farmertec lists the weights to be many pounds over oem, but...in my experience, (361, 372, 038/381, 288, and 660) the weights are essentially the same as originals.

Shipping weight is all that is. Thats basically 6lbs for tools, box, packing etc allowed.

They weigh same as oem saws.

G660 weighs same as oem 660 with 3/4 wrap too. Same as G888, G366 G111T etc etc etc

Have had a bunch to compare.

G466 460 with 3/4 wrap and small dawg. So you can see.

G372xp half wrap and small dawg. So you can see.

They are probably listing shipping weights with the box, packing material and all that tape it's wrapped in. Plus the higher the weight the more they can charge us for shipping.
