Here we proudly announce that the project of Holzfforma G888 development has come to a perfect end, and the new generation G888 will soon be released to the market.
Farmertec's largest chainsaw is one of the most powerful in the world. The primary applications for the G888 are extreme logging, portable saw mills and stump work. This saw is designed to pull the chain on longest bars. Like all Holzfforma chainsaws, the G888 has a superior power-to-weight ratio. Thanks to many premium features and the unlimited ignition coil, this heavy-duty chainsaw is surprisingly easy to provide greater power.
Back to when we first planned to develop this chainsaw, it was almost three years ago. It really means a lot for us to develop this “biggest” chainsaw Farmertec ever offered. We worked so hard to ensure the quality is the best possible. There were so many setbacks during developing. During the last two years, we faced the huge increase in materials cost, the enormous threat from the COVID-19, and the serious labor shortage afterwards. Thanks to all supports and understanding from our customers, we eventually get this project accomplished.
Quality products at a lower price! Remain true to our original aspiration, we always tell ourselves, and it keeps us moving forward.
Do what you can't, with Farmertec all the way!
Farmertec Team

Arrived with no breaks I have seen out of box so far. 😎👍🤤. G888
Plastics feel oem like imho so far. 😎
Now those are some bling and much thicker dawgs. Chrome like. 😳
Didn’t touch carb to see. 40:1 for me with 90 efree with VPracing oil. Best saw to date out of the box from Farmertec so far.
Smoothest afm tensioner to date.
Nicest afm handle rubber to date. Overly impressed.
I'll post more later got to run to lake to do some boat stuff. ;)

Walbro wg 12 listing https://www.sawagain.com/stihl-084-088-ms-880-oem-walbro-wg-12-carburetor-11241200611/
Mentioning carbs. I just got a new kart carb back. We have to run stock appearing Honda and Predator style on the SA class with no outer epoxy.
I never seen inside your bored carbs. But this guys work taking carb venturi from 615 to 670 is work of art inside. Just hope it runs as good with installed jet set ups I have in them. Easy to change both if missed and keep several sizes on hand of both.
Other bored carb on my motor isnt isnt near as nice but seems to work good. Till had a issue going to feature. Had to put back up motors carb not bored much over stock on and son felt the difference on the track. So got another carb set up. Would guess it was 650 under, never checked or tried to measure on my old carb.

Has anyone done an actual check on cc and hp rating one these compared to what the manufacturer states......these Chinese saws are generally way out from what they claim the power to be.
Not that I am aware of. I know my G888 stock with a simple muffler mod runs way better then the 088 local.
cc in all these stihl clones and husky clones are just like oem. You can swap the parts oem and afm.
G660 compared to locals 660 like new still too was same same in cut.
G444 runs real good like a 440.
G466 behind the the G444. But they used the later 460 cylinders on G466 is why.
G366 runs like my old 361
G111T runs like my old 200T
G372xp stock is not as refined as the stihl clones. Lacks comparted to a OE 372. Unless you do some work to them.

Chinese clone saw stated as being 75cc, but when checked is actually 53cc

This is a very interesting video.

Totally different saws. Those things are not clones of the stihl or husky.
I dont count those even close to these saws. They dont even concern me. The ones I talk about can swap oem and afm back forth same strokes and same bores.
Farmertec does have one sort of like those. They claimed the 75cc. So 2 off us checked the bore and stroke and theirs was. I helped walk the dealer through it on how to check.
That being said I still wouldnt have one of these, even for under 200usd. https://www.farmertec.com/75cc-JonCutter-Gasoline-Chainsaw-Power-Head-Without-Saw-Chain-and-Guide-Bar-p959710.html

so you rate the farmertec stuff then?
Right now you can buy a G888 MS880 FT clone for 469 + ship local on sale. The one I got before I even stwitched to unlimited coil IMHO cut better then the 088 I take care of local.
G660 high 2's G444 mid 2's etc etc.
It gives guys more cc saws on a budget without having to take out a loan on their house for same size saw.
Plus they are giving us the older no longer sold new saws in US we all liked.
Also the stihl clones are the most refined IMHO too over the husky and zenoah ones.
IMO win win.
Few demo saws guys check out.
