makita saws, any good?

[miker]

i know that makita bought dolmar out but are the saws any good.

ive been looking at the 9010, 90 cc,with 30 inch bar for £675 which is a fair bit cheaper than stihl or husky equivelent, any thoughts? mike

Fantastic saws (with one major flaw.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.......they are blue).

 

For some reason, most cutters think a proper saw can't be blue.

You could paint it orange .........

Re the Makita; I had a DCS7901 the famous angry 79cc'er. Back handle fell apart twice. Went "back" to an MS460 - miles and miles better.
