Replacing all my saws

I run a mixture of Stihl, Echo and Dolmar...

i am pleased with all of them. But I also hate all the electronic wizardry as well.

i was looking at getting a Stihl MS462 but at that money I have managed to get a Dolmar 6100 (60cc) and a Dolmar 7910 (80cc) chainsaws. I have been really impressed with the 7910 and blown away with the power as it is an absolute beast. The 6100 only turned up yesterday and I have been impressed with its cutting power but I have not had a full chance to test it out long term.

the only down side to having Dolmar is that my local Stihl dealer holds loads of parts in stock and I can run in and get it repaired immediately, they are excellent that way. With the Dolmar I would have to order parts in and I would have some down time. I would also look to do the repairs my self. But the repair manual is on line as a pdf. I am not daunted at having to do this so it does not concern me. But the beauty is that I have the 2x Dolmar for the price of one Stihl so if one saw was ever to go down on me I am covered any way.

But so far I have been very impressed with the Dolmars and others I have come across who also use them also speak highly of them.

At some point I will also get the Dolmar 31cc tophandle saw as well. 

I also run an Echo TS2511 top handle saw. It is very compact and small but it has also impressed me.

I have been happy with the Stihl equipment but that does come at a premium price.

 

Talk to Andrew (posts as Shavey) on this forum on the Dolmar thread as a sponsored forum section. He is very good and gets stuff quickly. I have had saws and parts from him and he is very efficient and helpful.

hope that helps and I recommend Dolmars on performance and price.
