shavey

it is ridicolous jon this weather hopefully we wont need spade lugs this summer might need to get out the d2 cat lol:biggrin: so i dont harm all the awful stinking garlic that is everywhere this spring all the best andrew

yes got my fire going down here in wet devon it hasnt rained here for an hour:thumbup1:

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:

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

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

i think i will buy some sebring red paint and take a visit to some local makita dealers:thumbup:

i done a thumbs up 2 days ago in north devon for the DOLMAR you gotta mention them now:001_smile:

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

brilliant photos you posted and what a fantastic dog you have there:001_smile::001_smile:

i paid a bit more than you £479 all in but it has been worth every penny:thumbup:

i totally agree no problems starting, running, cutting and you can leave it for months and all it ever wants too doo is rev and cut like hell:thumbup::thumbup:

found this old thread it is where i got my dolmar 5105 old threads are the best:thumbup::thumbup:

n. devon dolmar

yes now your talking you have a good saw if it is anything like my 5105 you should be happy i have seven different sachs dolmars & dolmars and very happy with all of them this mcculloch is ok it sounds nice and has cut everything i have wanted it too:thumbup: and if any casings gets broken on it i can replace it with some of its nephews orange counterparts :lol:

thats a perfect solution to a problem:thumbup:

great link:thumbup: its one of those things that you take for granted

isnt it better the devil you know than the one you dont:thumbup:

yes this listing was on ebay a few months ago

i spoke to a dealer last week who is getting me a new bar and chain for my sachs dolmar 133 and he put a 36" bar and chain on a standard of the shelf makita dcs7901 cutting a very large turkey oak butt and he was amazed how well the makita handled this bar so thumbs up:thumbup1: and he sells husky and stihl as well

cant anybody start up a new political party for all the people that are out in all weathers earning a crust how about "THE DECIDOUS EVERGREEN PARTY" :lol:

and i think alot of go-karts used mac engines in the 70s/80s

thanks for the identification what was catching me out was all the long hanging small branches some where up to 4ft long and hanging straight down

yes i totally agree with you the older macs are best i got a 10-10 and a pro-mac 850 and it runs and cuts like hell its lovely to take out this loud beast out when your in an enclosed area and let rip and the sound bounces off everywhere i couldnt bring myself too go and buy a chinese saw so this one fitted the bill it is a perfect match too fit on the sawhorse when iam too lazy to lift the wood onto the sawbench and if the 560 starts playing silly beggers it will have to help out lol but time will tell how it lasts :lol:

i love these videos good for a laugh:thumbup: there is another video on youtube quadtrac vs tank sorry i dont know how to do the link

yes i should weigh it and find out its the same with john deere vs new holland tractors pistols at dawn:lol: and scania drivers vs volvo drivers bunfight on route 66:lol:
