  14. that is a fantastic saw for that money if you compare it to the husky 550 xp the dolmar is a match in cc power and weight but without the auto tune complications that may occur, and also the price difference is worth considering TCD do you know if the 7901 is as good as the 7900 because i would defiantely be interested in one if you would be importing any:001_smile:
  15. iam with you two as well '' dolmars are immense '' i would love to try a 7900 or a 7901 if these two saws are anything like the 5105 then look out trees i started in the woods many moons ago with a sachs dolmar 117 15'' 3/8 on first thinnings jap larch this saw was quite heavy for this and i bought a new dolmar 115i which was an excellent saw it never let me down at all i absouteley loved that saw the only thing was the av rubbers werent strong but they were so easy to change so no probs the dealer i bought it from it from he said i was better off buying this dolmar as some of the 254's that had been sold recently were playing up lots of niggly things when i went back to work with my new toy they laughed at me but after a few weeks they changed there tune but nobody bought one anyway this local dealer retired about ten years ago i saw him this week and i showed him my 5105 he was so impressed he actually thought dolmar had gone to the wall and makita had picked the peices and he said if he was younger and in better health he would go to germany and get a lorry load of dolmars and parts and turn the area '' sebring red again'' :thumbup::thumbup: sorry to go on but they are decent strong exciting saws
  16. it looks like you might have sorted your skidding now you might have to watch if your on sideling ground with the long lengths when they take the hill and roll sideways you have quite a high hitch they could pull you sideways i have had it happen before looks like you got a years work ahead of you good luck
  17. i think i will buy some sebring red paint and take a visit to some local makita dealers:thumbup:

  19. yes i think natwest has stayed in the small towns here in our part of the world where as hsbc , barclays and lloyds tsb have all tended to move on long ago but they all make there mistakes but it is a tough one who too choose
  20. brilliant photos you posted and what a fantastic dog you have there:001_smile::001_smile:
  21. i paid a bit more than you £479 all in but it has been worth every penny:thumbup:
