As someone who used these saws 30 years ago, I can tell you that this is the same thing as the original. Chain brakes came as an option in the 80s and this saw predates them. I was running an 064 without a brake when I was 13 and logging in northern Michigan. I'd love to have the info on these because it appears to be taken ove r because it's old technology and the Germans won't make them any more. This would be perfect for milling! No brake required. That being said, chainsaw safety is one aspect of my profession and I have to say, do not ever run a saw with a chain that loose and it's especially dangerous to cut with the tip.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Kaiser Grady I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
i am quite amused by all the responses here :D most of them either know shit about these saws and need to do their homework before commenting and the others are just bashing the chinese quality without actually knowing how good these saws are build (getting better each new release). so to sum up : it does not have a chain brake cause its a copy from the 70's, it is chinese but value for quality is top notch. ive milled some serious acacia wood with my 070 and it did not skip a beat. runs a 36" like its a 16". will it break ? eventually yes, parts are cheap and plentyfull. so 300 bucks (is what i payed for it) for this monster is dirt cheap and 6 months later and more then 50hrs on work time i can say it is still having insane compression and starts every 2nd or 3rd pull. there you go.
@@mikepruett1745 I bought mine for 340 (including import tax) at the door. that's now 2 full years ago. still starts at 4th pull. has done its fair share of milling and big tree cutting.
There was a day when no one would buy "Japanese Junk" complete with the comments that everything was made out of US beer cans. Today... Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Sony, Hitachi, and several others are leading the quality pack. China has come a long way and today they are producing some high quality products at great prices. You can still buy cheap Chinese junk but I've seen some trashy "Made in USA" junk too. One of the best deals on pianos is the Pearl River. Made by license through Yamaha it has incredible sound and at a very attractive price. Our church bought one and has never regretted the decision. It's made in China.
@@andreas1983x2 on that long a a bar yes that's y solid noses have been largely phased out it is easy to toss a chain if your not careful and I doubt a saw of that vintage has a catchers
I still have my dad’s 070Av it’s a beast. Only run 40:1 VP FUEL HE Brought it back in his suitcase. It’s made in West Germany 🇩🇪 yours sounds similar it really doesn’t start working until you put a load on it then it just humps the chips!
Just needs to adjust the high side screw in while under a load till it smooths out. You can adjust in without a load on it and it will end up too lean.
If it is built like the original 070 then fine , I worked one in the late eighties to cut some huge Sitka spruce, Ok it wasn’t the most comfortable saw to work but it got the job done, I bought back then second hand for £ 100. They were called Stihl Contras, made in South America, tough old brutes , to buy the same size engined saw new today you would be looking at around £1500 ,so for an saw that’s only part time use it’s the the way to go.
I'm an Arborist and I own quite a few actual Stihl saws. I make a living with Stihl's awesome quality and power. (I'm still bent at Stihl for replacing the ms200t with the lesser ms201t). I'm interested in any saw if it runs decent and I can depend on it. I'm not interested in supporting knock-offs and fakes per say, though it if runs decent, what the heck. Lots of haters making comments below. I do not know what these Chinese copies cost, though if they run good and they're cheap, I may buy one and run the hell out of it for 3 or 6 months.
+David Scalise I'm not impressed with the 070 clones. Heavy and vibrates like crazy. If you're wanting to experiment with a clone get the 660. Both cost around $300 each
Hi David. I have a mate who does up 090, 070's for sale. He sometimes gets chinese bits, plug caps, as are unique to model, but, he says the new chinese copy isa no good. Bought one, set it up, ran in gently, then it blew. . . The real thing will run all day, as u know. Yes, i was annoyed about ms200 replacement, too. But my 200 still great. Instead of the new070's, have u considered/got/used, an 07? Very similiar to 070, weighs 18 lbs, 4 an half horse, lots of torque, early 60's Stihl made them. I have two, long an short bars on. Lovely things. Ok, vibes, LOUD, but never fail me. Drop it on concrete, no break. Y'health, Mark.
Luv that 070...understand you sold it...I have the ms381...have used it a lot...large oak and Ash down...Alibaba is good but shipping outrageous...saws quality very good though...done everything I've asked of it...run 32 to 1...make sure bar is clean...oil holes clear...great power...cuts right through 24 inch plus wood...enjoy your videos...before I ordered mine watched Walt...you and others...keep up the great vids...
No...all assembled with 20 inch bar and "stihl"chain...started up..cright away...4 pulls...have cut lots of wood...very good performer...90 Oct gas...stihl synthetic...32:1...Alibaba...Jianzing Norsun tool co...Seasummer brand...really enjoy your vids...inspired by you to get the831 as a replacement for my old 028 wood boss and newer 52cc unbranded clone saw. Thx Kimball...bill g
Looks like it needs a little tweaking, a little running. The Stihl 076 Magnum is one mean long bar lugger! Might not be super fast but you can hardly lug them if they are dialed in right. For the money, id buy a few!
The 070's and bigger 090's were uncomparable to today's Stihl saws. Low revving and loads of low end torque. Nearly impossible to stall. We used to run a 6ft guidebar on an 090. Chain used to whistle. Could refill petrol and oil with it still running through a big log!
I have one of these. It runs well. The clutch cover came cracked out of the box The kill switch is backwards. You should be able to kill it with just a push but you have to reach around and pull to stop the engine. I had to turn up the chain oiler a bit and after break in this thing is a beast for better or worse. There is no chain brake so don't get into a situation where you need one. In the current iteration the STIHL word does not appear on the product, just the 070. The 7/32 file is what fit my chain. Found out early on cause we dirted it. I don't plan on keeping mine because I can only imagine what it's going to be like getting parts for it. I just had a job to do and now it's done so yeah.
I have a chinese chainsaw which is basicly a husqvana copy it goes great. I cant justify paying a couple of thousand dollars when u can get copies that do the same job for a quarter of the price.
I noticed that the chain isn't tight enough on that saw, and secondly, i didn't know that Stihl made saws in China. It seem to work fine, and if it gives you great service then you don't have to worry about who it is made by.
It's a new chain that is going to stretch in the first real cut. You should not see the drive links dangling regardless of the bar's nose. A loose chain is dangerous.
I took a chance on one of these Chinese 070 saws it lasted less than a week, broke in gradually plenty oregon oil at 25:1 as advised rather than the regular mix of 50:1 no it didn't smoke like hell it ran fine I gave it a bit of work no problems other than the clutch slipping if the chain runs itself to tight when hot, "trial & error" used a 36in quality stihl bar & chain, oiler fine & additional thumb oiler fine if your thumb is 6in long! it's heavy as hell but ok for cross cutting at it's own pace, what happened? the big end collapsed whilst idling no less! cemi locked & theres the usual debris wedged between piston and barrell, now needs a total rebuild with quality "NON CHINESE" barrell/piston & crank, one day! UK
Is a old model the 070 AV 😊 Chinese are sometimes pretty good cloner especially with old good product. Just sad they not added chainbreak. This model was a pretty big engine 105cc with a low rpm max above 8200 or 8500 giving 4.8kw at 7000 but tons of good torque. For me need 2 things change the contact switch for a smaller one and customise a light stainless steel plate as front hand guard. And please tight a bit your chain 3 drive teeth could go out when you pull on it after tightening on 1st cut after it had expand you can let 5 drive teeth to save a bit the guide. Depend of use. And good idea to directly put Still chain and guide , Chinese do nice engine parts but their chains are bubble gum. PS oregon work even better for me. 😁
The 290 is fine for an occasional cut here and there, but it isn't a good saw. You'll notice it in comparison videos a lot because it's tuned down for the farmer and it makes the other saws it's being compared to look superior. It's built to go slow and just never die. Example, The ms 270 is the first in professional grade saws and it will flat out kill the 290. If you want a really good saw I suggest the ms 362C. This thing is the best all around saw ever made. Expensive, but worth every penny.
I just read through some of the comments here. While this may be a cheap Chinese knockoff, they aren't that bad. Besides, if you want a Stihl 070, this is your best bet since Stihl no longer sells that model. China making older 'Stihl' models is pretty much the same as aftermarket companies making brand new vintage cars, such as Jeep tubs, frames, whole Mustang bodies etc. These aren't modern or current models being copied, they're the old tried and true versions we can't buy new here anymore. I own an original 070, and an 090, both were handed down to me over the years but both have a lot of use and have been rebuilt several times over. If the Chinese manufacturers shipping wasn't so high, I would consider one myself.
the chain needs to be tightened, and there is no kickback safety brake, engine seems strong except rpm doesn't seem to climb. I have seen better copies than this one but if the buyer is pleased,and he can tighten the chain, and is real careful, keep it.
Did you like this saw. Or would you say the farmertec g660 is better quality. Im trying to decide which to get. Also where did you fi d this saw. Thanks
It looks good, but Chinese copies always do. I bought a genuine Husqvarna and it starts on the third pull every time. That was quite a struggle to get it going at 4:30 I'm going to have to agree with most of the other comments on one thing however...that chain is way too loose.
I worked for Stihl Chainsaw way back in 1968 in Malaysia......this 070 model was the most popular model sought after by the local lumberman while 090 appealed to a more Heavy-Duty operation . Surprisingly this Chinese clone Stihl chainsaw sounded and looks exactly the same of the Original Stihl.....! Yup, the chain was rather LOOSE and might cause a danger in running if tension not adjusted properly.......
I wonder how the Chinese 070 will last against the German made 070 ? Especially after 10 years of regular use . Has anybody got the answer ?? or anybody used the china made saw for 5 + years ?
Why did you sell this one? What parts could I replace oem that would make you consider keeping it. Last question do you think the 660 clone mills just as good as this one
Ok so for all of those half wits hating in the comments 1. It's not a real stihl it's nothing more than a Chinese imitation of a stihl. 2. The chain is not loose at all it has to be slack like that because it's a hard nose bar And thirdly it doesn't have a chain brake because the saw has too much Power behind it so a chain brake would get torn to shreds really quickly
Well the chain was loose you goose because it came off, just lucky he didn't kill himself so keep your stupid comments to your self, go back to chain saw school.
It's funny how people get so upset when they see a video of someone using a stihl or husqy copy, but when someone posts a video of them using a redmax/zenoah copy they don't say a word or assume its a clone of some type of stihl or husqy because think those are the only companies that make saws. I'll bet most of you people critizing cody have never even pulled a cylinder off a chainsaw.
don't look like it has to great of compression right out of the box. I have a west German 090 and a 070 (used to have 3 090's but I sold 2) on all the saws I had to always hold down the decompression valve button or they would not start or even let me pull them. also please adjust that damn chain!!
Big warning to everyone buying China saws...…….CAREFULLY check the gas-oil mix ratio...……….Most saws in North America are 50-1 but all of the knock-offs I saw online are 40-1...so yeah, they will smoke more. Long-term use at 50-1 may end badly, but if you only spent $100-$200 on it, it no big deal really..just buy another.
To hot dog,,I've read that still will still make you an 090 on request for around 2200 dollars all hand made too!I guess they might have a place in really big timber,I know of a local small mill operated who trimmed his bundles of lumber with one,I've seen it done Herman Brothers was the name of their company out of connellsville pa.I think their recently all retired now good bunch of guys though straight shooters!They seemed to use a lot of off brand skidders and such like cooper skidders Tyler skidders tree farmers ext.ext.
Now thats one cool saw. Is this one made by craftop/newtop on alibaba? Im wondering if its a good idea to semi disassemble it and make sure everythings installed correctly but it seems good enough in the few videos you've uploaded. I also wonder if it would benefit from base gasket removal. What was the wait on shipping?
I was trying to order one from craftop/newtop on alibaba and they want to charge 310 dollars for express shipping and 290 for the saw. Do you happen to have a link to the page you bought the saw from because half the price being shipping is hard to accept. And you mentioned 300 only.
Giant chunk of plastic. You could tighten chain a lil more since you have a hardnose bar. The pull start sounds weak an short pull. I use saws daily. What is weight an how much power? No not what a real stihl 070. Yes this is old model as they ended 0?? Years ago, would be a 700 today. I have a 660 an it does good. Just got my 3120xp a 6 ft bar. Sounds like it is pig rich. Is the carb adjustable? Bet anything the chain an bar are german stihl parts. China has a hard time with close tolerances, an hardening metal correctly. Wonder how long it will go before failure.???
Been looking into these clones for milling and the occasional big tree job. Very conflicting info about them. Yours seems to run quite nice and decently tuned from factory. Random, your yard reminds me of west Phoenix.....the wall, trees, and houses are identical.
I know this is an older video and comment, but figured I would give my feedback anyway ;) My understanding is that the bigger Huztl saws have gotten a lot better in the last 2 or 3 years. My 064 seized up on me this spring so I ordered a G660 to take its place. $321 delivered. It came from US stock and arrived in 2 business days. There was about $50 worth of hardware that I needed to replace on it up front, including a high output oiler (running a 42" bar) and a dual port muffler cover. It's a screamer now. Heavy enough that I wouldn't want it to be my primary saw, but for the occasional big tree, it was a great fit for me. If I were milling big logs with a chainsaw mill, I'd definitely have a G070 for the job. The only question would be whether to change out the P&C to 66mm and retune to make it a 135cc 090.
As someone who used these saws 30 years ago, I can tell you that this is the same thing as the original. Chain brakes came as an option in the 80s and this saw predates them. I was running an 064 without a brake when I was 13 and logging in northern Michigan. I'd love to have the info on these because it appears to be taken ove r because it's old technology and the Germans won't make them any more. This would be perfect for milling! No brake required. That being said, chainsaw safety is one aspect of my profession and I have to say, do not ever run a saw with a chain that loose and it's especially dangerous to cut with the tip.
+Hotdog Nonesky i sold this one. Check hutzl.net they have kits. I'd go with the 660 clone first
The Germans didn’t make it, it’s a Chinese fake

so 300 bucks (is what i payed for it) for this monster is dirt cheap and 6 months later and more then 50hrs on work time i can say it is still having insane compression and starts every 2nd or 3rd pull.

Great Comment Nathan!
Please what are the disadvantage of the Chinese 070 power saw
There was a day when no one would buy "Japanese Junk" complete with the comments that everything was made out of US beer cans. Today... Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Sony, Hitachi, and several others are leading the quality pack. China has come a long way and today they are producing some high quality products at great prices. You can still buy cheap Chinese junk but I've seen some trashy "Made in USA" junk too. One of the best deals on pianos is the Pearl River. Made by license through Yamaha it has incredible sound and at a very attractive price. Our church bought one and has never regretted the decision. It's made in China.
This is what I've been saying for a long time
But this is a fake "knockoff" Stihl saw. China doesn't have the rights to manufacture Stihl products.
Stihl set up a factory in China back in 2006 to make their stuff.
All those products are made in Japan not China
Except u speak of japan, not china lol
bela máquina , sem dúvida esse é uma cópia do modelo original com did^fenças, os materiais são de menor qualidade em relação aos originais.
Great for milling and you can't beat the price
Chain is scary loose 🙀
Not at al ,this is a hard nose bar so they have to be run looseer do to no roller tip.

never run a chain tight on a hard nose bar,or else you will smoke it.

Expensive, but worth every penny.
I love it where can I get mine. ?
I just read through some of the comments here. While this may be a cheap Chinese knockoff, they aren't that bad.
Besides, if you want a Stihl 070, this is your best bet since Stihl no longer sells that model. China making older 'Stihl' models is pretty much the same as aftermarket companies making brand new vintage cars, such as Jeep tubs, frames, whole Mustang bodies etc. These aren't modern or current models being copied, they're the old tried and true versions we can't buy new here anymore. I own an original 070, and an 090, both were handed down to me over the years but both have a lot of use and have been rebuilt several times over. If the Chinese manufacturers shipping wasn't so high, I would consider one myself.
Why not chose 651 or 660, lighter, stronger ?
I sold this and I'm sticking to the 660 clones
Great review on still clone chain saw the 070 did very well for you just loved it
I like old saws and that's a easy way to get a clean wall hanger I guess. But I would hold out for a original.
I ended up selling it
where is the chain brake?
+Gato Malvado remake of an old 1970s design that didn't have a chain brake
KimballCody thanks i didn't know that.
Your limbs will do the job...
The saw is way to powerful for a chain brake
thats absolute bullshit
no safety equipment, chain way to loose, chinese chunk....you are the man....
Should start on 2 pulls
I just bought an Ojenas 070, 105 cc that is almost like yours and it started up real quick. We will see how it works when the 36" bar gets here.
This saw is not so great. I took it to a Stihl repair shop and they wouldn’t touch it. It stopped running after a few months.
The clutch fell off and messed up the left hand threaded nut, the crank threads are messed up.
the chain needs to be tightened, and there is no kickback safety brake, engine seems strong except rpm doesn't seem to climb. I have seen better copies than this one but if the buyer is pleased,and he can tighten the chain, and is real careful, keep it.
Did you like this saw. Or would you say the farmertec g660 is better quality. Im trying to decide which to get. Also where did you fi d this saw. Thanks
I would like to know how it's holding up 1 year later? Is it worth buying? The price is good might want one just to have it and not use much.
Sounds awesome ? Sounds like a pos moped.. pull the slack outta that chain before it comes off and takes your lips off
+mason chase I sold it because it wouldnt stay tight
KimballCody good move, that was dangerous...
I. Bet the little husqy sitting next to it will cut circles Around it looks like 1980s vintage, no chain brake.
I bought one. Paid more for shipping than the actual saw. It lacks power and don't expect it to last long.
I sold mine
Buying one of these kit saws is like buying a radio controlled gas powered car ,putting it together getting it to run and h
Made in China like any other stuff we buy. What is the surprise?.
Doesn't sound like it's running right...
That's a great saw man don't let them hate everyone knows a new saw the chain stretchs let us know how long it last
I sold it. Too heavy and vibrated too much
if this is 105 cc its a low rev motor be better in a go cart , the 92 cc version makes a great saw.
don´t have automatic oli for chain
"Ya'll watch this kickback!"
helo were you buy your 070 sthil clone and how much you pay for the chain saws and bar
It looks good, but Chinese copies always do. I bought a genuine Husqvarna and it starts on the third pull every time. That was quite a struggle to get it going at 4:30 I'm going to have to agree with most of the other comments on one thing however...that chain is way too loose.
I herd the chainsaws with 0 in front of them last forever and r really reliable
I worked for Stihl Chainsaw way back in 1968 in Malaysia......this 070 model was the most popular model sought after by the local lumberman while 090 appealed to a more Heavy-Duty operation . Surprisingly this Chinese clone Stihl chainsaw sounded and looks exactly the same of the Original Stihl.....! Yup, the chain was rather LOOSE and might cause a danger in running if tension not adjusted properly.......
What company produced this? Farmertec saws are blue.
Holy shit, I was waiting for the chain to fly off
+cyphrr it did
You still got the saw? And if so, how has it held up? Just curious.
I wonder how the Chinese 070 will last against the German made 070 ?
Especially after 10 years of regular use . Has anybody got the answer ??
or anybody used the china made saw for 5 + years ?
were did you buy your chain saw and how much i want to buy one
Why did you sell this one? What parts could I replace oem that would make you consider keeping it. Last question do you think the 660 clone mills just as good as this one
Slow, heavy and vibration.
The 660 is easy to work on with parts easy to acquire
Ok so for all of those half wits hating in the comments
1. It's not a real stihl it's nothing more than a Chinese imitation of a stihl.
2. The chain is not loose at all it has to be slack like that because it's a hard nose bar
And thirdly it doesn't have a chain brake because the saw has too much Power behind it so a chain brake would get torn to shreds really quickly
Well the chain was loose you goose because it came off, just lucky he didn't kill himself so keep your stupid comments to your self, go back to chain saw school.
the chain came off you fool, he was lucky it didnt kill him you FUCKING IDIOT
bruce poole when
bruce poole the chain diddn't even come off spastic
can you read or are you to stupid, that's why he got rid of it he could'nt adjust the chain any more and it came of you half. fuck off.
Is this a copy or just a stihl model made in China ??? It sounds like the carb needs adjustment and where is the chain brake ??
never cut with the tip on\f the chain dangress kick back
Wow everyone in the comments are chainsaw experts lol
Right?!
im glad to see im not the only one that spills oil all over the saw when i fill it
dilligaf put your bar oil in an empty 56 ounce dawn dish soap bottle. Works perfectly.
bluelude2001 I’m not sure that would work in colder conditions
Or you could just turn the jug on it's side so air can get in and never spill a drop ever.
Southeastern Ohio Honeybees yeah hé showed poor technique à funnel also works great
how many cc is your copy of a sthil 070
Is the carb adjustable on these saws?I hate to admit it,but im getting interested in these clones.
whats the screeching noise ? it doesnt sound right, you dont hear it anywhere only after 8:15 when you restart it after you fixed the on/off switch.
+Nathan Van de Velde i think it was the fly wheel rubbing on the starter cover
It's funny how people get so upset when they see a video of someone using a stihl or husqy copy, but when someone posts a video of them using a redmax/zenoah copy they don't say a word or assume its a clone of some type of stihl or husqy because think those are the only companies that make saws. I'll bet most of you people critizing cody have never even pulled a cylinder off a chainsaw.
Appreciate your support
KimballCody I just got one of these and its a surprisingly nice saw to run.
don't look like it has to great of compression right out of the box. I have a west German 090 and a 070 (used to have 3 090's but I sold 2) on all the saws I had to always hold down the decompression valve button or they would not start or even let me pull them. also please adjust that damn chain!!
Big warning to everyone buying China saws...…….CAREFULLY check the gas-oil mix ratio...……….Most saws in North America are 50-1 but all of the knock-offs I saw online are 40-1...so yeah, they will smoke more. Long-term use at 50-1 may end badly, but if you only spent $100-$200 on it, it no big deal really..just buy another.
With modern oils a saw won't know the difference between 40 or 50 to 1
To hot dog,,I've read that still will still make you an 090 on request for around 2200 dollars all hand made too!I guess they might have a place in really big timber,I know of a local small mill operated who trimmed his bundles of lumber with one,I've seen it done Herman Brothers was the name of their company out of connellsville pa.I think their recently all retired now good bunch of guys though straight shooters!They seemed to use a lot of off brand skidders and such like cooper skidders Tyler skidders tree farmers ext.ext.
Can you buy this in America or can you have it shipped from China to America please give me information and details
Yes. Hutzl.net
Why there's no smoke?
How did the saw turn out since this video? Is it still running?
I sold it. Too heavy. I mill with the 660 clones now
Where did you buy this saw from and how much was the saw thanks god bless
Huztl dot net
Doesn't run very good but at least you have the chain adjusted spot on. LOL 🤪
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This powerhead is just like Stihl, hard to start it.
Now thats one cool saw. Is this one made by craftop/newtop on alibaba? Im wondering if its a good idea to semi disassemble it and make sure everythings installed correctly but it seems good enough in the few videos you've uploaded. I also wonder if it would benefit from base gasket removal. What was the wait on shipping?
+IHav2BlackCats this one said 070, I've seen the craftop, I'm guessing they are the same. I'm not too familiar with 070 mods.
I was trying to order one from craftop/newtop on alibaba and they want to charge 310 dollars for express shipping and 290 for the saw. Do you happen to have a link to the page you bought the saw from because half the price being shipping is hard to accept. And you mentioned 300 only.
IHav2BlackCats try these guys. if you don't see what you want ask
m.hefeiglory.en.alibaba.com/productlist.html
They are 430.00 free ship on ebay for the ms070 type that in the search bar.
James Shaff1911 that's definitely not worth it.
Giant chunk of plastic. You could tighten chain a lil more since you have a hardnose bar. The pull start sounds weak an short pull. I use saws daily. What is weight an how much power? No not what a real stihl 070. Yes this is old model as they ended 0?? Years ago, would be a 700 today. I have a 660 an it does good. Just got my 3120xp a 6 ft bar. Sounds like it is pig rich. Is the carb adjustable? Bet anything the chain an bar are german stihl parts. China has a hard time with close tolerances, an hardening metal correctly. Wonder how long it will go before failure.???
No plastic. Stihl never made a 700
Sir how much reyad model 070 22 inchis
were did you buy your sthil copy made in china and how much you pay for it im asking because id like to buy one
Sir i want that but a lot of money..how much for philippines.
Been looking into these clones for milling and the occasional big tree job. Very conflicting info about them. Yours seems to run quite nice and decently tuned from factory. Random, your yard reminds me of west Phoenix.....the wall, trees, and houses are identical.
I know this is an older video and comment, but figured I would give my feedback anyway ;) My understanding is that the bigger Huztl saws have gotten a lot better in the last 2 or 3 years. My 064 seized up on me this spring so I ordered a G660 to take its place. $321 delivered. It came from US stock and arrived in 2 business days. There was about $50 worth of hardware that I needed to replace on it up front, including a high output oiler (running a 42" bar) and a dual port muffler cover. It's a screamer now. Heavy enough that I wouldn't want it to be my primary saw, but for the occasional big tree, it was a great fit for me. If I were milling big logs with a chainsaw mill, I'd definitely have a G070 for the job. The only question would be whether to change out the P&C to 66mm and retune to make it a 135cc 090.
That sparkplug wire doesn't knock the fire out of you?
Just came from Stihl's website. It is a real Stihl and Stihl is "very proud" of it. - Smh - Sad day indeed.
It's a counterfeit fake you ..d u a s
does this mother have a decompression button for starting?
+awalt26439 yes
Oh yeh the rest ,putting it together getting it to run and hoping you can go pick up groceries with it
Can u get one as a grinder .... disc cuter . Mmm i want one of each a chainsaw and .....
Do they make a 50 to 60 cc version? Can you give us a link please?
