Big Makita or Huztl chainsaw

[neiln]

I think that price is head only, so add a bit more for bar and chain.  however I agree the 365 is a great saw, and I agree f r  jones are good dealers.

 

Oh and while the makita saws are very good, there aren't so many dealers to help fix problems.  Its always worth considering who our local dealer is and what they stock.

Hi, I'll contact some local dealers for a price on the Husqvarna 365 and big Makita saws.

Is the member called Shavey still active? I came across the Dolmar thread while reading about the Makita 7900, but it seems he hasn't posted for a while.

Hello yes Iam around  a good around Saw would be the Dolmar ps-7910 or 

Makita EA7900 both will handle a big bar and are nimble on a smaller bar

the Dolmar / Makita 9010 has been discontinued 

 

Ive always got new and like new saws around

You won’t go wrong dealing with shavey and makita/dollar saws are very good. If it’s occasionally used I would consider using aspen fuel. I have saws that don’t get used for over a year but always start on first pull.

Blake... I've run my good saws on Aspen since new, and so whatever large saw I buy will use the same fuel.

Shavey... Could you quote me for a Dolmar PS7910 and Makita EA7900 please? If you have used saws in decent condition could you price up them too?

Many thanks

Hi chaps

To conclude this thread, I bought a used Dolmar 7910 in excellent condition from Shavey, which came with both an 18in and 24in bar.

Thanks everyone for the advice, it's much appreciated. And thank you Shavey!
