Makita dcs7900 vs ea7900..?

[Doobop]

Hi max, I have had 2 dcs 7900 and now have a new ea and it is still an animal saw I have a 22" bar on it and you can bury the bar deep and it just keeps digging would bury any Stihl or husky of same size

Hi Doobop, that's what I wanted to hear! Haha. How are you getting on with the saw in general, anything to look out for/be aware of?

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

 

The 7900 family use the "large Husky" (D009),

 

the current 5 and 6000 series saws use the "small Husky" (K095),

 

the smaller saws (including the 420/421) use the K041 mount.

So now I am wondering if you can open the muffler up and remove the Gubbins to bring the power up? Thanks

 

I believe the cylinder is different as well, and don't really know what the result will be.

The way they are made at the moment I don't think anyone can touch them I've had many huskys and stihls but makita are top right now I've had them for 7 years now

And no I've had no problems with them what so ever. Very reliable saw

Only thing I've found with Makita/Dolmar saws that is irritating is that they seem to throw the surclip that holds the sprocket on. Both the DCS7901 and the PS6100.

 

 

I have never had that with the 5 saws I've had

Did you order one of these saws Maxnaggle, quite tempted to get one myself at that price.

 

@Shavey, does the dolmar come close to that price?

That price is well below wholesale price it is £103 lower than the next saw down ea7300p

So you wouldn't get that price very often its a one off great deal for a 2015 new chainsaw :thumbup:

That's me sold then
