Do they respond well to a bit of fettling
-
Yes all the dolmars seem to go tighter, oil and petrol caps which is better than the other way I suppose the new caps you only have too put The screwdriver end of your scrench along the slot if it goes tight on you the brake parts haven’t had much call for them on the saws over 65cc all the sneddings saws under this size I’ve supplied several springs and a few bands the linkage wears on some coils will die on the older models but a flywheel and coil from the newer generation will fit i usualy run the 79cc saws on 24” very nice balance but they will ru; much bigger bars with ease ,matched with a good full chisel skip theyll oil them well too
-
Yes the newer model caps are much better with Dolmar / makita fuel and oil caps you don’t need to have them over tight

That looks a helluva machine Tom for what it’s worth I’ve got a vertical tractor mounted Rabaud splitter had it for 20 years it’s been faultless built so strong it’ll split everything but not In the same league as this big boy i wonder if you could put rows of smaller logs in there like 30 or 40 at a time or have you got a large supply of oversized material and have a loader and large bucket on the end too catch the logs

Hey Matt the two up near us are exactly the same not realy a place too go unless you need too MVP purchased the holsworthy branch 3+yrs ago

As @outinthewood says it’s much more customer friendly if everything is straight forward and easy for them it should sail through I’ve had more trouble with exporting items especially through California used saws and parts are getting harder too send and sometimes axes can get stuck in customs If your prepared too pay the import duties then most times your still quids in

Low impact forestry services in Devon and the South West
shavey replied to Big J's topic in General chat
good on you big j for taking that lead into another branch of the forestry sector it could well be a winner with all the rainfall and limited extracting months and many people will tell you down here when alot of these woodlands where planted , the tracks in werent very wide and your machine would benefit alot of small woodland owners , and it will be good too meet you next summer -
thanks guys yes i can get most models of wrap handles and large spikes the most popular sellers are the 365/372xp wrap handles and spikes next is 394/395xp and now 562xp since the launch i will put up a list of what is available and within reach pricewise
-
Stubby got some of the best Dawgs on his saws I’ve got some spikes here that come with the 3/4 wrap handle dont know if there large enough for you
-
Will send you a PM later thanks
-
Hello Lewis Yes I’ve had several in and sold I’ve got 562 full sets and 372 full sets in stock At the moment will be doing another soon if you need anything
-
The saw is a mk1 ct when there running there awesome parts where NLA 20yrs ago I’ve got one good runner and small selection; of parts have you pulled the saw over or tried running it if you haven’t hold it firm as there’s quite a high risk of it grabbing the rope back again would be happy to make an offer the mill looks like it could be made by Sperber
-
Yes it does exist I think it is the 72APX but it’ll be 050 gauge
-
You will find your best option would be a 24” - 28” D009 mount 3/8 050 or 058 full house full skip , 404 063 will be a hard slog but if you want a 404 set up just get a sugihara 3/8 063 bar and change the tip too 404
-
Yeah they don’t usualy pack up on these saws and it’s very difficult to get the repair kits now the new oil pump is approx £30-£33+VAt part number Is 161346-0 they are the same saw as the makita ea4300 its not too difficult to do the pumps in these it can get a bit messy after using veg oil in behind the clutch and drum its always good practice too put a new 99p circlip on after removing it a couple of times once they become weak, they’ll come off and get lost
-
Hello everyone I haven’t been on much lately but lots of stuff too post up in the near future i was wondering if Saw Troll had been on lately
-
Hello Stubby yes it’s not bad for a little saw hopefully there will some room for improvements Yes there going pretty well last week against Bath they where strong again you done well to beat sarries twice , last week those last few minutes where amazing mr L said Quinn’s didn’t like the cold weather Ha ha
-
Will do a cutting video next week
-
Here is the smaller 35cc saw ps-352 and in makita ea-3601 a different design altogether from anything you have seen from Dolmar a very neat light design the second strato design engine they’ve done but this one has had more Japanese influence and it’s very slimline and balanced it’s more like the husqvarna 242 , 42 special and handle and Av is similar too the tanaka 4501
-
There’s Some new additions to the Dolmar range for next year the new top handle is only 31cc but there is talk of a bigger version I will put up some photos and info about these new models

Hello I want to thank Steve from Coventry for helping me out with this parcel he collected it and sent it back too me after several hick ups in arranging collection from the Coventry depot cheers Steve
-
Hello Steve as others have said just touch it and it’ll stop the lock function is meant for workshop use so service engineers can lock the saw In the off position for safety as this saw will start if it sees somebody touching the cord
-
