budget ground saw

[Lee Winger]

good point, I though can get parts no probs, but more importantly I have'nt needed any ,unlike my stihl and husky saws ..

[Lee Winger]

thats a good price, but im only looking to spend around the 400 mark. can you fit a standard chain on these makita saws? i see the gauge is different.

 

Makita saws have the same bar fitments as Husky

I have sold a few of the Dolmar 5000, same as Makita's 5001.

They keep in tuch and come here from time to time to pic up chains, bar's oil and gas. I look them over while they get gas and oil.

I heard nothing yet a had one in for service.

 

I set them up diffrently for the diffrent users.

 

One who does no limbing at all just cut firewood, I put 3/8 8pin 73lp chain on and a 14" bar!

Made a huge diffrence, the saw came more to it's right that way.

 

One wanted his for clearing and thinning, cut a lot of really thin branches.

I put 15" 21bp .325 8pin on that one.

 

Like all saws it depends on what you are going to do and how much £$€ you have to spend.

 

With a bigger bar on these and a charp chain you can out cut or at least keep up with most saws under 59cc. I out cut a 357 with one of the first I had here.

Try the ECHO CS5501 Saw 20" Bar 54.8cc and should cost you about £440 inc

 

ECHO is far superior to most manufacturers on the market today but don't be buying from silly discount web sites like "World of power"

[Adam]

how much do you have to spend? have you looked at the husky 575xp?

or maybe a Jonsered 2165? 61cc could throw a 20" happily all day
