I've been wanting a pro saw to add to my arsenal and I finally decided on one. I had not been able to get my hands on this saw until recently. No dealers in my area had one in stock.
You may be behind everyone else, but you are ahead of me. I have an older 066 & a newer 660 and I love them both. I have 5 other saws, but none are 4 or 5 series. I wish I was you. You have all the toys. I enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you for taking the time for our benefit. I like how you use the chain brake so frequently. It is a worthy safety feature. Stay safe out there.
My coworker has just bought one as well. He really likes it. He is a arborist and he uses it a lot. I was thinking of he’s bigger saw and looking at the knock offs.
I don't regret buying the knock off G660. Just keep in mind to check bolt tightness and maybe loctite some of the important ones. It's been a good saw and cuts really well. Just the weight of the thing is the only drawback. Good luck!
I’m sure you’ll love it but I’m wanting a 462. Seems to be the ideal power to weight. Plus I’ve heard those 500’s are thirsty. I’m almost positive I’d love it if someone handed me one though lol. Hope the saw treats you well
It's thirsty, but not as bad as the 660 clone. I think the 500i tank is smaller as well, but I've heard great things about the 462 as well. I did consider it as well, but after I picked up the 500i, I had to have it.
Even my old 026 can be a gas hog. Depends on how hard you push the engine. Nothing cuts like a Stihl... Except these Holzfforma clones. I myself bought a G111 for small stuff. It really loves to eat wood.
