clever lol

This has to be one of the best comments I've ever read! 😂

I've got lots of respect for you guys that do what you do. I get 10 feet up a latter, I'm quaking in my shoes. But, where would America be if not for your kind. Thanks a lot for your bravery.

Best comment ever.

What??? 76? I'm 74 and no way would I climb like that. But, congrats!

Absolutely amazing. Very happy for you. Congrats

I am 59, and now you're my inspiration..

I’m 76, was an Army Paratrooper. If they made a chute that would open at 10 ft I’d join you.

Mine was very rich on the high jet when I got it. But I’m at 5000 ft elevation too

That being said which is better

@@donutt2383 Most say the OE is better. I agree. Simply longer lasting.

I've had my 372 x torque for 5 years now. Never let me down, and I worked it hard. It came with a 28 " bar , full skip square grind. A perfect match. Even use a 36" bar, full skip square grind on it and it doesn't slow her down. I've used Opti2 oil in both my huskys also. That oil is worth every penny. I do feel the x tourqe is much better than her older sister.

The Farmertec cylinder is a chrome bore cylinder just like every saw built was… they absolutely need 32:1 and they will greatly appreciate a semisynthetic oil like that RedMax which is your Husqvarna semisynthetic oil… or a dirtbike semisynthetic…. You’ll get 20 years out of that cylinder with the Caber rings and good oil at 32:1… the Xtorq 372 is a strato charged or modern engine,,, problem there is you’re dumping your fresh air charge in to the front side of the piston and it’s mixing in Combustion chamber which is just a super lean condition in your cylinder and that’s where they burn up on 50:1 in a couple years… we cut a little pocket into the cylinder intake face and make sure all that air is mixing with our fuel mixture charge in the intake and not getting any where near the piston without the oil molecules in it!!! All the strato designs benefit from your doing that on their intake face!!! MS261cm will absolutely be awesome with that little assistance!!!! 40:1 is the minimum amount of oil and a working saw needs more! We run 36:1… 7 Oz into 2.5 gallons of 90 octane and it’ll burn completely off and leave no carbon deposits on your exhaust port window… the 372 Xtorq is not the best saw in the world because they have been running that bigger and heavy piston on the same crank and counter weight so it’s just not going to work as long because it’s eventually going to be beating on your PTO side bearings with a longer bar..,, plastic race’s on that bearing don’t help matters much… buddy of mine says that he would highly recommend that all bearings be a plastic race so when they go you’ll have a better chance of them getting spit through the engine then binding and wiping a topend so I’m still mixed about that as I have always been fond of the metal race and I use SKF for my saw’s for my bearing supply in town?

the clones are the same as stolen merchandise. if the slopes want to market to the US they should do so under their own brand, such as Chairman Mao TM. YOU ARE BEING VERY SHORT SIGHTED IN BUYING FROM THE PEOPLE THAT GAVE US CORONAVIRUS

yeah, i think this wasnt the fairest comparison, though i think the copy held up pretty decent. the power was there (most of the time) and if properly serviced and ported it will do its job just fine for probably less than half of the price.

@@AkiSan0 But how long will it last?

​@@jimnaz5267 so I noticed that out of 448 comments, most of them were positive, several constructive, but still positive. It is a shame that you are offended by content & comments on a KZfaq video. You may try relaxing and enjoying the conversation of several chainsaw guys & gals & people, all here just to comment & share their experiences. 👍 So if you have some time, check out the 2 links below. The first one is about: "Husqvarna China Machinery Manufacturing Co. Ltd. manufactures garden equipment. The Company mainly produces and sells mowers, garden tractors, and more." more, like chainsaws??? www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/0389276D:CH and of course the second one is about Stihl (we all love our Stihls too!) celebrating 10 years of manufacturing in ..... you guessed it; the same country that gave us coronavirus as you put it. www.stihl.com/stihl-factory-in-qingdao-china-celebrates-10th-anniversary.aspx So, my point is if you want us all to boycott brands made in china, you cannot be selective, it has to be all of them which would include Husqvarna & Stihl. Just thought I'd pass that info on because i had no idea until i researched it about a year or so ago. Saw safe everyone!

That’s the one I got👍 It’s been cutting great and absolutely no complaints. Some minor things such as lose nuts or fasteners here and there, but amazing saw for the price. Wish I bought more when I bought them. Only thing is they do run fat on the high jet, but after a few tanks of run time tune that high jet in and they rip👍 That’s my experience with these saws at least!

Im no expert but having tuned a few carbs on different saws, and those both being almost the same saw..... the holzfforma clearly needed a little screw twisting. there were no rpms at all... she was choking. I would expect em to run the same, just not for the same hours before needing parts. Cylinder and piston are not as high quality, and the other thing is probably just double check every nut and bolt on the Holzfforma to be sure its torqued.

Oh I also read a comment from a guy on this vid that builds them from kits and he said they need a bit taken off the cylinder base to bump compression... that would definitely make a difference in lower performance ( probably in an attempt to keep it more reliable... may be a good trade but if not. get it machined down a bit. YOUR CALL) I dont mind something that needs a bit of TLC / tuning...

@@DavidBaumgarner Not a pro by any means but I noticed this as soon as the cutting started.

How hard are the knockoffs to tune? I'm looking at the 372xp knock off for an alaskan chainsaw mill edging mill (I run a genuine 392xp for the primary sawing) and figure a knockoff would be a good fit for the job.

Yeah man…you really can’t get a very good idea of what’s up when you’re right out the box like that… you need a dozen tanks to get broken in and tuned properly and really starting to jam out! If you are really watching and listening to engine rpm’s…you can actually see them both beginning to gain rpm’s and power as they chuck down these two sticks… think he was running 32:1 no synthetic two stroke oil in the fuel mixture?!? I will say this about the Farmertec saw’s… if you have some good saw Machacic knowledge and ability… have been building saw’s for a little while… you can build yourself a decent tool that you can actually use to make money for 1/2 of the new oem prices! I’ve been running mine 4 years commercial and some other saw’s with Farmertec engine repower’s for over 12 years without a hiccup!!! When you’re self employed sometimes shit happens and your 372 or 395 is down or stolen and you have work that you need to get done..,a g660 or a g395 is going to get your jobs done and keep food on your family’s table!!! Really look at what John did to the g200T.,, that saw runs good enough to keep the business going!!! I just don’t agree with what everyone else does in their building.,, that saw could actually be a little less powerful…it’s more power than is necessary.,, and it would get a whole lot better fuel mileage.., sure it’s got lots more power but it’s burning up and not fully utilizing like twice the amount of fuel.., so that’s more sending it up and down to refill the tanks and getting less work done in that waisted time of messing around with adding more fuel all day.,, porting is about achieving a balance within the engine that allows it to function more efficiently and fluidly…. Just my thinking… and there’s definitely several different ways to port a saw and there’s different reasons to do that port and polish job! Stay safe in the trees boy’s!!!

@Schwalbe_262 I’ve had the 372’s and 660’s for 5 years now… I have a real 371,372’s 390,395… my point was these are awesome very inexpensive backup saw’s… I’ve built 5 660’s with meteor topend kits on them and they all have been doing residential tree removal work for 5 years without a hiccup they run better than factory because they are all lightly ported with timing number correction and polished exhaust ports… when the $400 dollar saw’s stronger than your $1200 dollar saw’s… you might want to pay attention… they can be a great deal… the 5800 Jonny cutter’s are 58cc ground saw’s… they are awesome for a rookie… who’s going to beat on a saw… he’s killing a $150 dollar saw… not the $800 dollar ms261cm or 362cm…

@Schwalbe_262 and those 288’s can definitely be built into a decent long bar saw… I just really like the 300 series models… 371 single ring 50mm bore is the perfect 28” bar saw… Because the husky has that turbo air filtration which slingshots out the fines and helps keep your air filter cleaner for a little longer… that’s why I run the Husqvarna saw’s… less cleaning of my air filter system… if It’s a single tree takedown then the MS460 will really be screaming… take me… because it’s got that power… my 372’s are the 52mm popup piston version so they can run with the 460’s! A lot of west coast faller’s grabbed the Stihl saw’s because of their 13,500 to 14k top rpm’s… faster chain speed so a little faster in the cut but a husky is smoother… hand file so I’ll run skipper tooth even though it’s not as fast as full comp…. Husky 371 is the perfect feeling sea!!!

I agree 100% it's running really REALLY rich. That's some what a fell safe tho lean running saws don't run long rich saws just fall plugs my g372xp was the same way it was backed out a little over 1 3/4 all most 2 turns on the hi side it's now at roughly 1 1/4 is the low side was good at first but as it got broken in I hat to run it in a little. Mine was a bet worse thin that one sounds but if you tune it in you will have a hole nother animal mine will out cut my buddy's real 572xp now thanks to you t teaching me how to square file LOL he's still hurt over his new 1200$ saw Bing out cut by a old stile 372xp nock off but im going to have some more fun out of it before I tell him it's bc of how I sharpened my chain.

Mine was real rich when I got it, leaned it out and it eats!

Was about to comment this. Not the fairest comparison, but for most it'll work as a good comparison.

They both said XP on them when I bought them lol 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@GuiltyofTreeson they’re both xp pro saw , but husky has a 372 xp original edition from early 2000 to 2010 I think then they made a 372 xp xt ( x torque) they are an emission model, they’re both 5.4 or 5.7 hp from the back of my head

@@GuiltyofTreeson xp doesn't mean xtorq. I have a 372xp and my dad has a 372xp xtorq. Xtorq just means emmisions nonsense.

@@GuiltyofTreeson the x-torq has different in take and cylinder. Out of the box it has a little more power :)

Nahh.... Either the Echo 750evl, or the Pro Mac 10-10

@@eugenecrabs3954 +1 for the ol pro Mac 10-10. Way ahead of it's time.

Indeed.

@@fella704 No, nostalgia doesn't pay the bills. But being a Man sure does. Who are YOU to assume you know my body build type or weight, or career?Who gives a shit if it's 3 lbs heavier. Maybe you haven't used a saw too much, especially in a professional setting. But if your actually Working, your saw is in a fucking tree. How much is the weight difference REALLY at that point. You must of been just a groundworker, carrying around the real men's saws for them all day, that's why 3 lbs matters to you.

@@fella704 Maybe you do. I didn't say I'd Rather run around with a 1010 walking through slashing and fallen timber.. didn't even say I'd Rather run a 10 10 all day.. I said I agree that it was way ahead of it's time and an all time favorite.

@@fella704 The only time he was in danger was when he was cutting with the TOP of the bar, pulling it towards him. But you're right, if you're cutting with the bottom and it "kicks" there's really nowhere for it to go except jam up against the dogs.

No chance for kick back bar longer than wood and no other wood in the way

Congrats man, just passed mine too

@@fanosoX good work man

To bring down the squish, do you machine the bottom of the cylinder (near the crankcase)? Since there is no cylinder head. Just curious :-)

@@AndreasBrOlesen Normally yes, but if you have to take a lot of material away you also need to check opening and closing times for the ports, as lowering the entire cylinder affects timing.

@@Altair885 That makes sense. Seems like a lot of work. Definitely not a DIY job. :-) I guess it is worth the effort, the price difference taken in consideration.

@@AndreasBrOlesen You would need access to a lathe to make this kind of modification. It's actually a very simple operation once you've made a mandrel to hold the cylinder straight, after that it only takes moments to do each cylinder once you've done your measurements and worked out the amount to take off.

@@Altair885 Why not base gasket delete?

The new oem saw’s are nikasil lined.., the Farmertec saw’s are a chrome bore like the old saw’s of yesterday… that’s why they say run 32:1 !!!!

@@DaveyBlue32 the husqvarna 372 had chrome lined cylinder and were spect to run 50:1 oil.

That's what I did

I've got one stock and one ported, hi perfect muffler and Swedish carb. It makes a difference
