Had an ad pop up on my Instagram feed the other day for the Blue Stihl saws. Place was called like “Badass chainsaws” or something like that. The site seemed cheap and kinda scammy so I wrote it off as such.

Get you one of these classics. It's loud and slow, but at least it's heavy!
Seriously tho, my dual battery makita runs circles around this thing. Don't count out the electric ones.
Damn near! It's ridiculous to run.Is that the saw from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?
I think the blue ones are the china farmtech clones? Some people really like them. Other not so much. I am thinking about building a 880 size clone for a powerhead for my mill.
...I have a Husky Rancher 455 that is quite possibly the biggest POS I’ve ever owned, been through it numerous times, new carb kit fuel lines, still barely runs, and when it does barely oils.
Husky 395xp. Quit being a fucking vag.
have you ever taken your husky to a saw shop? Tossing ~$100-150 having a pro look over what you have should net you a very decent cutter. It’s not the best thing out there but shouldn’t be a giant POS by any measure.
Looking for a new chainsaw, what does Irate have to say?
Have a bunch of dead standing ash and locust on the property that would go great in the wood burner. I have a Husky Rancher 455 that is quite possibly the biggest POS I’ve ever owned, been through it numerous times, new carb kit fuel lines, still barely runs, and when it does barely oils.
I have a 455 rancher, other than wanting to rip your arm off when starting it been a good saw, bought it used .
Dirt Monkey just dropped this review of the China Stihl copy from Amazon. Supposed to use identical parts that can be interchanged with the name brand stuff.

Anyone have a link to the 880 china kits ?
Interesting that you have so many issues with the rancher. Ive had one for 8 years and ive used it quite a bit. its never given me any trouble.
To each their own, but I do my best to not support China with my $ or encourage IP theft (Their cheap clones of everything). JMO, YMMV.
OP, another satisfied Stihl customer here. I only run canned ethanol free gas in them, except for my 391. There is nowhere "close" that I can run and grab ethanol free gas, but when I make a run that's what I put in the bigger saw. The 180 and pole pruner only get canned gas (Tru Fuel, Stihl, VPracing etc.) The leafblower gets whatever is closes and freshest. The rest gets dumped into the lawn tractor,
n 2008, the newest Stihl production facility opened in Qingdao, China. I'm willing to bet they are running off the same production line. Stihl did it to themselves opening a plant in a land that profits off of copying corporate trade secrets.
Same here on the canned gas in 2 smokes.. Started running that a few years ago and it ended all the problems of gas engines that sit for long periods of time. My saw hasn't been run in year and I could go out and fire it on 3 pulls with what's in the tank.
