No stihl or husky's what would you be using today ???

[miker]

dolmar have been around a very long time. did have some without chainguards. at one time that was all that was sold by the agriculture dealers or solo. never saw a sthil or husky before the arb shops came about. other make was oleo mac very good saws.

that makes me old. and when scats was a agricuture store not a country hoora store. or should i say mole valley farmers now.

thats when ford 4000 were about. at Curtis and padwicks winchester proper agricuture shop not only sold tractors but everthing you need for a farm.

if there was a local dealer like to see the new dolmar but nearest is over in west sussex to far. hence not got a foot hold. mitox seem to be sold more and more.

i remember curtis padwick,proper place ! and scats used to sell proper gear.

do you remember a guy called mike tait ?

I still take me Dolmar 153 for a run out now and then when I am feeling fit ,the difference in weight between my ms880 is incredible,proper mans saws are them old Dolmars.

Trying to upload pic on its last outing with it baby brothers too but my phone not avin any of it .

Hmmm a world without husky or Stihl? Well I suppose we would be using something large, heavy and slow! Like a dolmar cc, without Stihl, we wouldn't have the emissions or safety laws, husky made the chainbrake we all know and love, so anything reminiscent of the 1960's to 1980's, we'd probably still use bow-bars too!

Whilst you may dislike either company in comparison to your Dolmar saws, TCD, you owe much of today's tech to the warring giants.

Take note ,I broke the chainbrake of 153 on this job,very flimsy design for such a big saw ,Dolmar 122s in pic too .great old saws but the up most respect when I get them out .

Nah. It's just a Pro Mac 800. 80cc. 200 PSI from the factory. They had grunt.

Ok thanks Wes . Have you ever hefted a 125 in anger ?

Not in work - that's before my time. I have used them at gatherings and for firewood bucking of huge trunks. It is not what I would call a fun saw to use.
