are the 372 ckones X-Torq? or are they OE? im not good enough to tell by the pics

If they don't specify xtorq, they are oe.

Holzfforma 372 XTorq. Yes 42" bar is overkill, but it's for my Holzfforma 395. Just threw on for fun. It got a MM and BSD also an 8 pin driver w/20" bar. Sold to a buddy who loves it.View attachment 475923

I have several OE clones and a holzzforma xt clone
The xt was a bit stronger out of the box .

Must be a beaver of a saw!!

Must be a beaver of a saw!!

It shouldn't ever need a chain replacement, if the cutters keep growing longer and longer (like beaver teeth). The first thought that crossed my mind when I saw that picture is "Are all Chinese people left handed?" The second was "That's a beaver tree!"

I thought that was the vent....

All that, plus the chain is on backwards.

Its more aerodynamic, slides through the air vs. cutting the air!!

I always thought if they were sold on the other side of the planet, they run in reverse.

After helping a friend put up approx 8 cords of wood two weekends ago, I decided he needed a better saw than his tired ms290. I took this clone 372 and did a standard woods port job on it, and then hung a 24" versacut on it. After putting a tank through it, I turned it over to him. I know they aren't for everyone, but they can make a dang nice firewood tool with a little work.

Does it leaks bar oil? My clone 372 leaks like crazy.

yes, it is bad. I warned him to drain it when he is done, lol. I forgot to drill a small hole in the stupid vent that farmertec uses.

I wonder why that is. I wonder if it's fixable.

 

[farminkarman]

On most of the clone 372's I have messed with, they use a different oil tank vent than OEM uses....I suspect that is the culprit, but not 100% sure.

I thought that might be it but wasn't sure since I don't have oem to compare.

Are these saws better than Neotec? Last week, I was working on a Neotec NS872 that had absolutely terrible fit and finish.

I haven’t tried one of those. This latest Farmertec 372 was pretty good…minus the bar oil leak
