OK my Chainsaw crazy friends. After my health went south I haven't been able to do this for quite some time. But now I am much better and Farmertec contacted me and asked me to do some more videos for them. So the Chainsaw videos have returned!

Looks like the 288 came tuned pretty well from the factory. Those old grunters like that little bit of fat tune. Happy New Year.

Hi Cy!!😀😀 Good to see you buddy. Sorry to hear about all the health problems you have had. Thank goodness you made it through them. I'm also having my share of health issues also but that's beside the point. I'm kinda like you when it comes to the saws. I really like the Stihl clones the best. But I have been looking at the 288 and kinda like it. It will be interesting to see you doing some milling with it. Take care of yourself my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

@DIYwithUncleCy 2 жыл бұрын

My favorites so far have actually been the G388 and the G444. Both can mill and are still easy handling enough for felling and bucking too. But I gotta admit this G288 surprised me so that may change.

They had some oiler issues on the G288. Hultzforma has an updated one that works better. She runs pretty good with factory tune. A lot need some good adjusting.

Dude yeah! To share I have the G888 and the G660 pro. Farmertec makes Fantastic saws

@user-kc2ot2bh8r 2 жыл бұрын

It looks like the air filter is not real tight. I have the Farmertec G372xp with 24" bar. It's a heavy saw. My air filter has an all threaded rod and wing nut which goes through the top of the filter to the carb, but there are no threads on the top of the carb so it kinda just sits on top of the carb. My manual also said to run a couple tanks of gas at 25:1 for break in. It does run great and cuts light crazy for the price.

@DIYwithUncleCy 2 жыл бұрын

The whole bottom of the filter is rubber so it is flexible, I assume to manage vibration but it was tight on there I assure you. A lot goes on when the camera is off too :-)

Sorry KZfaq does not notify me when someone replies. Haven't gotten to mill with it yet. I need compatible bar and chain before I can. That said I am looking into adapters for my Sthil Bars to run o it.
