Makita EA5600F review

[Cracker Boy]

I likethe looks of it.looks like a 6100 to me i like the air filter looks just like 6100.i wish they would have done something a little diff.on 64 73 and 79 series with the filter like this

I'm probably looking in the wrong place, but I can't find much about the 5600 on the Makita USA site. You can download the operation's manual and parts list from the Makita Canada site.

It's not listed on the Makita website because it's limited availability.

Any word on pricing?

How well does the oiler work on the saw Dan ? Does it have a adjustable oiler?

It does have an adjustable oiler Mason. With the 20" bar it comes with, I turned it all the way up. It seems to be keeping up. I'm not seeing extra oil, but if it oils a 20, I'd say we are good.

Havent seen what List and Map pricing are but currently I'm selling them for $399.99.

Looks like it's got a split mag case kinda inside the plastic "skins" it seems from looking at the pictures, very interesting.

That's what used PS-5105's are listed at in my area!

I'd buy one for that price without second thoughts.

@Keith Gandy lots of pictures on the pinned post of dolmar and makita ope page of facebook


cool saw, not quite as easy to disassemble as the 3601 and not nearly as interesting on the inside but thats more to do with the reed valve setup on it is common to the 6100. I still havent had time to go run one and get a feel for it. Spending waaaaay to much time in the shop anymore and not getting enough time in the woods.

Agreeing with others, I'm really digging the air filter. Seems like a lot of saws are lacking a good seal between air filter and base/carb. Just as important as the filter itself, IMO.

Im in the same boat! 8 to 12 hrs a day on a d9 dozer then shoptime after that!
