Makita dcs7900 vs ea7900..?

[Maxnaggle]

Alreet! I'm on the hunt for a makita 7900 after having used one and it being an animal..

The one I used was a dcs7900 I'm pretty sure, as it was fairly old.

 

How ever, I've found this sweet deal: Lawson HIS: Makita EA7900P45E Petrol Chainsaw 45cm (18") 78.5cc (Replaces DCS7901) + FREE OIL

 

But it looks like the model is slightly different (ea instead of dcs) and the specs show it to be down on the old model by .5 of a bhp...

 

Information is fairly limited, so I was wondering if anyone on here may be able to shed some light?

 

Thanks

Sounds like the EA7900 is the same (demoted) saw as the 7910.

If memory serves me right the Dolmar PS-7900 got a small ' downgrade' a few years ago. A Cat muffler to comply with emissions regulations. Thats the -0.5 horsepower you are seeing.

 

Same for the EA7900. Thats the Cat Muffler current model.

I have an old DCS7901 which is outstanding. Fastest saw I have will be sorely missed when it eventually dies. Is the exhaust transferable from the older to the newer models?

Yes jonathon they are they all interchangable Dolmar ps-7910 will fit the makita dcs 6401 7301 7901 and vice versa :thumbup:

I would go for the saw at thiggy price you can't tell the difference to be honest between the older model the old model top speed was 13,500 the new model

Is 12,800 the muffler on the dolmar 7900 was more or less a empty box the new muffler is SLR scavenging . Loss. Recirculation but there isn't a Kat in there

A good quality chain would make more difference between the two :thumbup:

Looks like the Makitas take the Huskvarna spec Oregon bars. Can someone confirm this is the case?
