Fake Stihl Chainsaw Better? Let’s Settle This!

I'd love to see a test on garbage bags. I never know if the premium ones are worth the cost!

Best channel, no bs, no time waste, unbiased straight to the point

I would like to see how that clone performs with a a couple minor upgrades. Carb, air filter and muffler. The way it sounded in the cut just sounded like an air/fuel problem. Another great video! We can always count on you for quality content with zero bs.

Having ran both a real 660 a 661 daily and having the farmer tec 660 at home. To me the biggest difference is the 661 has the spring antivibe instead of the rubber grommet antivibe. Also I think the 661 leans a little more into the hp/ revvy side than the torquey side compared to the older saws. For the price it’s hard to beat the Chinese saws if you don’t mind working on them a little more

I'm noticing a decent difference in performance between the two saws, but there's a huge difference in price. Glad you mentioned that at the end!

I'm not even in the market for any tools... but for some reason I still watch the Project Farm videos. Nicely done, as always.

You've got the best channel on youtube. Your thorough testing leaves no doubt and it's greatly appreciated. Another very nice touch is you read responses and actually reply.

Awesome video, have used a farmertec 660 saw for about 2 years now and has never skipped a beat. Will always take my stihl 660 as back up just incase. I found with the farmertec the carb was a bit off as mentioned, so I put on a stihl 660 carb from an old saw and goes good as new. Definitely vibrates a bit more than the stihl. But for firewood cutting and beating on a saw the saw the farmertec is the go

I have a farmertec g660, and I'd say your test results are pretty accurate. I went ahead and put a (modified) dual port muffler on mine, which helped. I've run close to 10 gal of fuel through it. It slowly improved over the first 5 gal or so, but so would a Stihl 660. I would never say that mine will beat a Stihl in a head to head match up, but the $1,000 I saved makes for one heck of a consolation prise 😂

Wow! I just noticed you're almost at 3 MILLION subs!!! Let me just say that you've earned every one of those subs with your fair, accurate & unbiased testing methods...good job Todd! Let there be no doubt, hands down...YOU ARE THE MAN!!

I spent about 15 years trimming trees in my younger years and wished I could have afforded the Stihl as vibration hurts your hands . Great video again!

I just bought the ms250 because of the other video you did showing it as the winner. I love it! had a stack of firewood from a fallen tree in no time. Thanks for your great videos!

This man is a saint. He has very high production value yet, he still shows you all of his mistakes. He buys all the products he tests to avoid biasing the test results. He's ingenious with some of the ways he tests things. There's a big difference between lab testing and testing out on a farm.

Crazy how a carb tune can pit up a 75% cheaper saw so competitively! I would love to learn about how you went about adjusting the carb.

In addition to all the testing I appreciate the priority that Todd puts on having fun with it. Cousin Eddie's participation is always welcome

I think these tests are even better than factory tests. Brilliant as always.

I use a chainsaw occasionally and have a Homelite 16" that ~20 years old. With the exception of a few primer bulbs, plugs, and chains it's been exceptionally reliable. I use non -ethanol and synthetic 2 stroke oil. If I needed a saw this big (arms stretched way out) I'd snap up that off brand in a second! What a fantastically thorough and brutal test!!! Once again you have our undivided attention!

A compression test would have been interesting here. Thank you project farm, as always you're the best!

Another fair and equitable study. Thank you. Since this is subject is about cutting wood how about one for splitting wood? A lot of the ranchers and small lad owners around here are looking at electric lof splitters. No PM requered to speak of, a lot smaller footprint and lighter than the big gas splitters that you have to tow, and a few can really can split the standard 16-20" logs just fine. The key things I look at are cycle speed, amp requirements (I put a small generator in the back of the UTV) ability to split seasoned wood along with hard woods.

Excellent. Thanks for fixing the carb adjustment on the clone!!
