Used/cheap LIGHT firewood saw recommendation?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Hmm well i dont think youl get anything better in the 50cc-ish size. Maybe what you want to do is chop in the PS6000 for a newer, lighter 60cc saw? Get onto TCD on here for a new Dolly 6100 ;-)

 

I import the non CE yank ones; Shavey on here is yer man for CE marked Dollies.

 

Ive got a nice Echo CS-600 for sale; perfect firewood saw on a 16" or 18" b&c.

What's the damage for the Echo? Or for the Dolmars come to that?

I have one

Doesn't suit big bars; I'd say 16" max.

 

Did you ever try it on 18"?

.... TCD imports the Dollys so id try him on here for a price - he had a thread about these saws, but i cant find it at the moment.

Is this it?

Yes it's on an 18 now. Prefer it on 16 for obvious reasons - is simply mental on that. Came with a 20 but doesn't sparkle on it.

Thanks for that!

 

I don't think I'll make enough on my two saws to cover a new Dolmar, sadly.

If you can't afford new, then stick with what you've got.

 

Why replace both yours with a secondhand gamble? If you can't afford new then a slightly different saw is unlikely to make much difference to the bottom line.

 

And when that secondhand gamble breaks, you've snookered yourself without a backup saw.

 

I've not a lot of good things to say about a Stihl MS290, but the new MS 291 ticks your boxes and will be new with warranty:
