Hey Uncle Cy I can see my trailer between the coop and tree!!! Glad to see a update on the saw!

I dont know about anyone else but I'm impressed, any saw that pull straight thru a 40" dry walnut log is impressive, I dont care if its chinese made or American that's a strong saw

Once she has had a couple of sharpens the bogging will most likely disappear so long as the depth guides are left alone for a while. Teeth are generic and with a long bar a bit less bite is a good thing. When I first started ripping I couldn't buy anything apart from a standard cross cut chain where I live. Reprofiling a worn chain worked a charm. This saw has potential.

Uncle Cy, just came across your site today after watching some chain saw u-tube videos. You rock and that machine is a monster. I think i saw a 42" bar and chain on there as well. Greetings from Ireland and the UK

Wow. Nice straight cut for freehand.

Wow! Walnut? Man that is the hardest pull you can make a saw do. The resistance of those noodles is extreme. Big power! Good video 👍.

That is an impressive log. Might have to get me one of those saws.

I I know the strands are so long because he’s cutting with the grain but God damn you can tell Who ever sharpened that chain knows what the hell they’re doing

Looking good ol friend!

Thanks for doing a 1 year review rather then a 1 month review

I tune while cutting hard in a log. I set the dogs and load the saw one handed, tuning the high speed jet till it pulls as hard as it can.

Hey bro, glad to see you pull out the big boy. I have the same saw and I love it. Mine is the farmertec version. I use it a few times a month. It is low rpm for sure. Great video. Can't wait to see what you make with the wood. 👍👍

Yeah, those ripping chains actually do well on the cross cut. They will stretch though.

Those thick walnut slabs would make nice turning blanks! Keep up the great videos Uncle Cy!

Now I think I need this saw lol great video I subed

I'd say for a cheap saw that bad boy kicks ass! Also talk about a straight cut man you could make a killer table top out of those slabs of walnut

Sounds just right!

I'd buy this thing just for the batman!!

Great video 👍🏼🙌🏼👏

Great channel!!

Very nice saw 🙂

Sounds good in the cut but I would bump the governor spring up one notch and set your idle up just a little bit. Nice saw though.

For a cheap chainsaw definitely does the job

Very good.😆

I have 2 of them and on for parts put a stihl bar on it sprocket nose. Youll see a big difference. And. You have to pump that oil pump by hand. They do cut well for milling

Awesome 👍 video

105cc - Looks like a good saw, I want one! Your idle is set too low, seems like.

Chips look like what comes out of my Joyner

Nice one 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Beast! Is this compatible with sthil 070 parts? Looking to get one but unable to find any parts online for later down the road.

I have a big Stihl 084av that I run for cutting Green/wet birch and doug fir. I may have to look into these when I retire the Stihl.

No lugging power, pretty much looks like you just gotta let it float. It needs rpm, I'd get frustrated waiting on that thing, but you definitely know how to sharpen a chain. It would definitely do better with a smaller bar.

That machine could put cross ventilation openings in both sides of a double wide outhouse.

ya that saw dust is more like it in the milling video it looked pretty fine i figured the chain was dull

I own a tree business and have been in business for 10 years now. I have always used Stihl saws until 7 months ago when I started buying the blue ones. I have now purchased 5 Farmertech blue chainsaw. 660, 366, 388, 440, and a 072. The 660 was the first one I bought, it still runs great in fact I used it with a 52” bar on 7-19-19 and it cuts great with it. The same day I used the 072 with a 59” bar and it also cuts great. The 388 out of the box cut great but now it want start a long with the 444, it won’t start either and never has. The 366 ran a short time but now runs terrible. The reason I’m posting this is for two reasons. One being that my two big saws run and starts great, but all three of the small saws have not done well. The second reason is Uncle Cy could you please make a video showing how to tune the saws to run correctly and give any other suggestions about the problems that I’m having. Thanks, Steve Miller

They probably have cheap carburetors on them with cheap diaphragms inside. The larger saws probably have larger ones and maybe they have direct clones of the original carburetors. Running ethanol gas is likely part of your problem. Always run recreation/boating/ethanol free gas. That ethanol stuff sucks and ruins things mighty fast.

OUTSTANDING!! 100% convinced me to do a 1yr vid (in 3 months) on my awesome 'scheppach csp2540' ($145 shipped for super lightweight top-handle, has been my 'daily driver' and it's the only 2-stroke I own that I've never had to tinker w/ or adjust the carb) Seeing those 'noodles' from your setup w/ ripper/logger chain was insane I want that power lol!! I've gotta ask though, as I'll be looking for a saw like this within the year I hope: Why go with this instead-of those 'farmer-tec' kits that are Stihl/Husq clones? Those have such a huge draw for me because I know I'll always be able to easily source replacement parts, I'm the type that wants to keep&rebuild stuff even when it may not be the smartest/most-efficient path lol and hearing you say how you had clutch issues (however simple they were to repair) makes me just think "Thank the gods he didn't have an issue wherein he needed a simple part yet couldn't source it"!!! Just subscribed, thanks a ton for this I love these vids it was @Love2Boat92's video on the lil $100-150 scheppach(/jon cutter/un-labelled, there's at least 3-4 versions/brandings of the great lil 25cc 1-handed, ~7-8lbs saw) that made me pull the trigger and, FOR THE $$$, I'm still of the opinion that *2* of these units + a 10-pack of fresh chains is worlds-better than a 192/193 stihl and is both cheaperr and WAY more reliable(w/ 2 units and back-up chains for always having a razor-edge, I've tried staying with "sharpen every time you gas-up" but in-practice I've found it genuinely UPSETS clients and ppl who are paying me (contract climbing) if I'm trying to sharpen my saw on-site AT ALL ie I'll get "why don't you sharpen before coming here?' LOL yeah it WAS sharp 2hrs ago when I got here now it's not :P But yeah my 1977 poulan 25d made me realize just how long ago chainsaws were close-to-optimized and it makes sense that it's easy enough for people to pump-out FAR cheaper units than sttihl/husq are so vids like this one here are such a treat not just for that particular 105cc unit but the whole non-major-branded niche, much kudos to you Cy I hope you check-out that 25cc unit I've mentioned IF you've ever wanted a quick 1-handed saw (remove its front-bumper/dogs and put a 12" on it, it'll never let you down!)

To be Honest the G660 from Holzfforma is a better milling saw than the YZ105. Higher RPM and therefore chain speed and develops nearly the same horse power. I got the YZ105 before I know about the G660. Now I have both and the comparison saws G660.

Is cutting with the grain more difficult or less difficult then cutting against the grain

Great saw,, cutting across does produce lenghty chip that can bog down any saw,, leave the he rpm as it is, bet ya lfe u mess with the engine it will go pop,, well impressed those. Great vid.

I think I'll buy one.

How much bite depth you have set on the cutters. The chips look like spaghetti.

I received my Cream Sickle Farmertec version of this saw in Aug 2017, mine sports a 36" .063 .404 Stihl roller tip bar & Farmertec .404 chain, the only issues I've had with mine is the fuel line cracked and leaked fuel, the clutch would slip due to the tension cone being improperly torqued , the high idle button fell apart and the air filter did not seal properly. It dose not leak oil or gas and starts every time after setting for a period of time in 8 or 9 pulls and 1 or 2 when hot. I bumped the max rpm's up to just over 9000. I to have around $450 in mine including bar and chain. Yes they do not cut fast but it takes a lot of guts to pull a .404 .063 full comp chain through 36 to 42 inches of wood cutting noodles. Other than weighing as much as 2 Christmas Turkeys they are pretty impressive.

That old sucker did it! Looks torque and slow like original Sthil 88

Power saw old school. He has 404 chain on it. I belive. I run 3/8 skip tooth milling chain.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if a guy stood that log up on end and then ripped it down. I would think one would have smaller chips and maybe a faster cut. Honestly, I have never heard a saw with such low rpms.

What is the gas mix ratio, 25:1 or 50:1 for all these cheap saws? They say 25:1. If these are truly clones, they would be 50:1. What are you all using?

It must be the low RPM that makes it seem less impressive by video. Watching from this perspective feels like my 272 would keep up with that machine. But im sure if you made a cut next to it with a 72 it would better show the difference. From watching your milling videos with this saw again, my 72 with big bar seemed to rip a 40" oak slab at the same pace. Have you compared this against any 70cc range saws? Do you feel that this saw is worth its own?..

Actually I switched my milling saw to the G660 from Holzfforma. It is an MS660 clone higher RPM equal HP so mills faster. The 105 has become my back up. It will get the job done but due to the lower RPM it takes a bit longer. I will also add, to pull a 42 inch bar buried takes more than most 70cc and under saws have regardless of the RPMs.

He said it's a milling chain however the chips or the not chips because they are like spaghetti are a result of cutting the log length ways with the grain instead of what one would normally do cutting firewood which is to cut cross grain. The stringy spaghetti chips come out like that on any saw when cutting with the grain as one does with milling.

I really depends on the quality of saw. A commercial grade saw can handle more constant use than a homeowner grade saw. Most of what is sold in big box stores is homeowner grade, and generally are not recommended for projects like milling. That said a saw that is used for milling that is running at high RPM for longer periods of time needs a cool down period after each cut. The cooldown should be to let the saw sit and idle for a minute or so. I am guilty of forgetting that sometimes 😔
