Cheers, but could do with seeing some Dolmar 5105 & 6100 figures to compare with other manufacturers. Today, for some strange reason the 6100 isn't shown on the dolmar website (pretty sure it was there yesterday), and the 550XP specs aren't available on the Husqvarna website either! Are they reading this thread??!

Excellent info, thanks Wolter ... now getting very serious about buying a dolmar instead of a husky. Did you come across any info on fuel consumption?

If making firewood is getting you down, watch this.

Yes, poor cameraman -
That's good to know.... seems VHF is the way to go, i guess?

Love it all. You should be very proud of your work here. 10/10 + one gold star Now, where's my apple?

I've read a few forums about trackers and have seen a few comments that they can be blocked/ over ridden, but not sure if this is true or how it's done?

Ah, um, errr, hmmmm, very true! ...but got very sharp teeth.

Huge thanks & respect to you for sharing this, it's a great visual lesson that will stick in my mind.... along with other true chainsaw stories (some sadly far, far worse than yours). Have to admit a few months ago I had a few close calls when undercutting with a Silky Saw, completely due to bad positioning (there is no chain-brake on a silky). Each close call was due to working when tired/ at the end of the day. Sounds like such a simple tool but using the Silky has taught me a huge amount. My nose could have quite easily looked like yours. I'm so glad I didn't dive straight into managing our woodland with a chainsaw - and whilst I have used other peoples chainsaws in the past, and felled a tree on my own; all with very little experience or safety knowledge it makes me shudder to think how stupid that was.

Second hand is second hand, sold as seen. If a problem occurs.... it's second hand. Tell them to either: a)p*** off b)p*** off c)p*** off tough choice eh!

I'm a bit new to this raffle but have noticed the 'raffle sponsor' written under forum member names.... how does the raffle work? Is it for a charity? cheers, steve

Heard it on the radio first thing this morning.... such a surreal & awful incident. Good on you for helping out.
-
Absolutely!
-
thanks Also, trying to work out what the similar husky model would be? eg; Husky 550xpg = Dolmar 5105 Husky 560xpg = Dolmar 6100 ??. and having trouble finding info to compare the specifications/ fuel use, chain speed, etc ....but definitely interested, especially if dolmars are more reliable. Don't care if they weigh a little more!

Pretty sure google doesn't add so much weight to linking other pages nowadays. It's more important to have good/ accurate content & having a site map may also be of benefit. .... saying that, it is worth having links to other sites when is deemed to be useful to your visitors > for a better user experience.
-
How much, delivered, for a Dolmar 5105 & 6100 with the heated handle? cheers
-
It could be a genuine mistake and is only fair to give the supplier a chance to rectify it.
-
....and google search friendly. No point in spending lots of time/ money designing a good looking website if nobody can find it. eg, just tried searching "nex elec" on google and your website isn't showing on the first or second page (but this could be if you haven't submitted your site for search engines to crawl).

No, but i think it's a great shame to cut down trees to make way for a phone signal

Yes, this tallies up with what ebay customer service told me, being something like: It's up to ebayers to contact their local police about stolen goods, who can then investigate. The police can contact ebay to have items removed from sale on the site. So i read that as, ebay dont police their own site for stolen goods, it's up to your local police!

Nowadays the trick is to design in a responsive way so that your site format works on an ever increasing range of screen sizes.... from mobile phones, to tablets, to widescreen monitors.
-
oh blimey, thats perfect! Got to make one of those. cheers
-
TDC swears by them; he's probably right.... but from a customer point of view.... he is the person selling them!
-
Interesting. Are Dolmar any good though? Anyone here using them?
-
The number of thefts happening is ridiculous. What is it going to take before something is actually done about it? .... at this rate of theft history may repeat itself, remember the farmer that shot a burglar dead?
-
I'm on the same page as you. The husky 560xp has also had reliability problems.
