Sorry! Need saw selection advice

[Patlmc]

Yep. The colour red.

 

Made on the same production line in Hamburg, by the same workers but unbelievably more expensive. I love the red colour but much prefer £200!

 

 

 

PS I have the Mak DSC7901 and it hasn't missed a beat. The bar and chain are marked Dolmar. Superb saw.

As pat says they are the same saw but the price differences are correct with certain online shops and agents , but realistic prices with dealer support aren't as far apart as you may think I will put some prices up on the Dolmar thread

 

The makita Dolmar relationship is similar to husqvarna jonsereds

I'm in a similar-ish situation. A couple of my 70cc saws are down at the moment (372/441) so thinking of a new saw.

Considering a 620sx but also Jonesie has the 365 x torq at a good price at the moment, but i'm reading a fair few bad reviews about the husky.

Hi My 365xt is about 3-4 years old and Mr Jones is still selling for around the same price I paid from his store

 

Very good saw and as you probaby know power can be increased by grinding the transfer ports. Its also not neccessary to use the de-comp when starting as I think some have problems.

Wish I could say the same. Never could start the thing even from new. Seems to be a fuel problem that a dealer charged us too much for NOT fixing when it was still under warranty.

Stihl ms440 is great 70cc saw. It does most things, I've even milled a few planks.

Great with an 18" bar and an 8 tooth sprocket.

[steve collins]

if your using it only few times a week get a dolmar/makita 6100 it will do exactly what you want and a bit more. its not as nimble in the hand as a husky/stihl but is an excellent saw for a lot less outlay

Ive only ever had one starting problem with my 365, that was the very first time I picked it up and used the de-comp....
