  1. Yes he loves his big saws that 166 was liked by everyone and so was the 1201 He received that 920 about the the same time I received the 7300
  2. Yeah stubby you definitely can it does pull well cross cutting and milling
  3. Sorry I’ve sorted the air filter but brake band is a no go can’t seem to get any
  4. Yes it was that 6800ii it’s missing a couple of parts but he accepted a nice low price
  5. there will be more I think another redskin will come over after Xmas
  6. Well there new 9” grinder seems pretty impressive for battery power
  7. Yes just gotta snap them up when they come up just got this one a cousin of your saw
  8. Yes it looks like Dolmar might be included in this scenario I’ve been talking to people in Germany since the weekend and nothing has been confirmed or denied yet about Dolmar but as @Echo said they’ve developed this mm4 engine which is beautiful and it was designed between Makita and Fuji Robin not much involvement by Dolmar And yes the Dolmar 4-stroke chainsaw was A smooth operation and with the new 4-stroke 70+ cc engine being hammered in concrete saws and back pack blowers in a 360 degree operation And this engine is light years ahead of the older design so who knows it might come into flight again flymos and hover mowers have been 4-stroke for years now
  9. Yes it’s an easy upgrade most of the DCS 5000 and up numbers use the same clutch drum as does ea-5000 and ea-6100 if you get stuck I got some here
  10. I’ve had one the WC88 for about 5 years now always run it on a international 434 good size chipper it’s nice and slim when transporting had no real problems only belts breaking the hydraulic system is self contained and has been problem free Plenty of grease nipples , good bearings and a heavy flywheel i will be upgrading to a new one before Xmas hopefully ive never chipped any 8” logs never had the need to do this iam a tight ass when it come to wood anything over the size of a donkies manhood is firewood
  11. no there’s one extra model the ps-352 ea3601 it’s a reed valve design with two reed valves you gotta watch the video to see how it works the saw is around the same size as a 242xp
  12. Yes there a Totaly new design they’ve gone down the strato design
  13. Thanks Gary happy your getting on with it ok
  14. no you won’t regret buying that model well liked by many
  15. If you where thinking of going away from the stihl / husky option I would opt for the Makita ea-4300 or Dolmar ps-420 hands down the ea-550 and ps-550 are nice saws and develop a lot of power and are physically bigger than the 40cc saws the ea-4300 has been a great value for money saw and has plenty of power and there’s plenty in reserve if you want too dig deeper

    I would say the Makita ea-4300 or Dolmar ps-420 they come supplied with a 15” bar and chain .325 050 gauge 64DL very substantial saw built strong and cuts well above its size Easy too start straight forward little motor easy maintainence quick too clean and all consumable parts are easy too inspect and change and good value for money

    There have been a few coming across the water but at the moment there coming from Belgium in the teal colours but I’ve had customers wanting Dolmar decals for teal makitas
  21. They are a good solid saw and som do leak and some are ok there is a suction line and a pressure line both pipes arent that expensive and it doesn’t take too long too clean strip down and replace
  22. I forgot to add some photos
  23. Yes they are a nice saw well built I got mine to use on a trailer mill I made
  24. Was that the one that burnt the lawn
