Looking to lighten my Dolkita 6400

[LittleLebowski]

I contacted Oregon via FB this weekend, this morning they requested my location and contact info. I'll keep you guys updated.

 

[LittleLebowski]

Thank you for your information. We're going to reach out to our product team and get back to you with more information as soon as possible.

Oregon just called me. They said they had a problem in Europe with these bars delaminating, but they thought that they had it fixed and mine is the first American or North American case they've seen. They are providing a shipping label and when they get it back, they are shipping a replacement bar, my choice and I choose another one of these.

I can't ask for a better resolution than this.

at least they are taking care of you and I like the idea that they want the bar back....hopefully they will take it and figure out what went wrong so they can improve them because although i am a little scared of these bars i also love them for the price/weight

The replacement bar just delaminated on me. Not happy. I’ll contact Oregon.

@166
You guys seen any delamination on these?
Maybe see what Okie Greg has to say....??

That stinks I hope they get it sorted out. I like the price for the weight. But if they can't hold up then they are not worth any money saved.

I’ve got two in a row and I am not that hard on my stuff, I don’t think two in a row is a coincidence.

I wouldn’t recommend these to anyone.

as far as i know all the ones i sold initially have held up well and just had a follow up with one of my customers and his bar is still holding up good. it was sold back in May

Coincidence that you’re the only one on the forum that’s had this issue though?
Correct me if I’m wrong.

I know several tree service guys that have had no issues with them.
I have 2 of them myself, but I’ve yet to put more than a few tanks on one of them.

 

[fordf150]

all but a couple of mine are in firewood guys hands, no clue how much they have used them....the ones in tree service hands are still holding up as far as i am aware

Pics?

I have a 16" .325 and a 20" 3/8 that have held up so far. But I don't get to cut much anymore.

I don't know the statistics on who has these bars on this forum. I'm sure there's folks that haven't had this issue, but I don't believe in coincidences like this. I'm not trashing other bars and I'm just a simple homeowner with a few acres, it's not like I'm logging or anything. Yesterday I had to grab my 421 to finish up work that my 6400 couldn't handle (was low on daylight and had to finish up a downed tree). I'm also not trashing bars on the 421

[jakethesnake]

Damn. Paint isn’t even worn off

 

[LittleLebowski]

I couldn't figure out why my cuts were curving over sideways until the chain started smoking and then I saw that another bar had delaminated on me.

She oiling the bar ? I’ve seen my oilers quit and never do that

Yup, I checked yesterday, but I slapped my old Makita branded bar on there last night and will check again yesterday.
