Just watched a couple YouTube videos about the neotec 395. They say they are better than the holzfforma ones. I put one in my Amazon cart Just to check the final price. With a 36" bar it's $291 delivered. That sounds like a great deal. I don't need this saw but I hate to pass it up. I'm trying to talk myself out of it. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Though it's an apple to oranges comparison....The Neotec 843 was better fit, finish and quality than Farmer tech 366. I've not run more than a dozen tanks though either so I can't speak to longevity. As an added bonus Neotecs gain power from simply adding Husky decals

I thought about getting an 843 but talked myself out of it. I saw videos of them, some said something was wrong with the carb gasket covering the strato port or something.

Do you have prime? Zon has been tweaking their prices for some time with "preferred" pricing for those that ante up ! . . . Just an observation.

Yeah. Exactly. Strato port is blocked from the factory.

Is there a reason they did it? Do you have to correct before it runs? Run better blocked?

Yeah. That extra 10%promo renews every day.
I'm up to 3@$41. Amazon still hasn't given me a delivery date though. Have yours shipped yet Czed?

I remember when Oregon was about $2O for a 20" loop and Stihl RS was about $25. It is ridiculous now. Hard to justify the cost... especially with the dirt cheap Chicom chains available.

Nice. Yeah I didn't have any issues with the other bars and a saw. It's probably an Alaska thing...guess I'm just chomping at the bit to test em out...it's firewood season now!

My insomnia got the best of me last night. I shouldn't have left that neotec 395 with 36" bar in my amazon cart. I hit place order sometime after midnight. I don't think clearly in the middle of the night. I really don't need that saw . Need to put my phone far away from the bed.

The reviews are very positive for those on YouTube my g395 version has been just fine.

I have one of those, another Amazon impulse buy, think it was $83. Good little saw.

 

[thedude74]

Hi there , I'm still trying to gain some knowledge about milling my own lumber and thought I'd ask what is the most popular rip chain is and what brand most millers use.

I just want to know if I'm on the right track when choosing a chain .

The saw I'm using is a Stihl 084av with a 25"bar and a

25" Archer Chainsaw Ripping chain .404- 10degree tooth .​

I'm cutting red and white oaks along with spruce. I also have some chestnut but not planning on cutting it unless it falls naturally first.

Is the chain I chose above a good quality chain for all the variables I have listed ?

Also what Dremel stone should I use in order to sharpen with ?

My insomnia got the best of me last night. I shouldn't have left that neotec 395 with 36" bar in my amazon cart. I hit place order sometime after midnight. I don't think clearly in the middle of the night. I really don't need that saw . Need to put my phone far away from the bed.

Haha. It happens....wake up at 2:00 am your mind is thinking "chainsaw chainsaw". Like Czed said they have good reviews. Congrats man.

 

[ammoaddict]

I looked at some videos today. They were positive as well. Must have been a different model neotec that I saw the bad reviews on. I still don't need a saw that big as bad as my back is. I just don't have much self control when it comes to saws and guns.

Exactly, my insomnia meds only keep me asleep for 2 - 4 hours and when I wake up I don't have very good judgment. That's why I should keep my phone out of reach. But I am looking forward to getting the saw.

I have one of those, another Amazon impulse buy, think it was $83. Good little saw.

I bought one like 5 year's ago they were called sheppach back then
My neighbor had to have it and i eventually bought 4 more my friends would see them and have to have them
I finally kept one i bought last year
My brother borrowed it him and his 4 kids
Rampaged on it for about 8 months
They melted the clutch cover running with the chain brake on and tore a av bushing
All 5 saws are still running great absolutely no issues and i mean a lot of cutting has been done with them
Less than 80.00 each is quite the bargain.
