Makita EA5600F review

[fordf150]

just a couple comparison pics of the 5600 and a 2255/455. this should give an idea on size/weight with a saw most are familiar with. 5600 is full of fuel but no bar oil, 2255 is bone dry never fueled. didnt bother taking pics of the front of the saw since they are almost identical in size/shape up front.

I knew it felt just like the true weight of that 262 picking up side by side.

So I finally got back to the woodpile to run the Makita 5600 again.

There is a Makita 6100 in the 1st video for comparison.

I really like my 6100 so far.

Looks like a nice saw. This is a long-shot, but can someone with access to a 5600 and a 6100 tell me if the clutch cover from the 5600 would fit a 6100? It looks less restricted than my 6100 that clogs up pretty easily. I also like the captive nuts.

already kinda tried it but waiting on spare 5600 covers to show up so i can chop one up for a final fitment check.

stud spacing is the same and it appears the cover will bolt on but the pin for the roller chain catch needs cut off for sure but thats as far as i have made it checking fitment

No, not yet. I want to get a few more tanks through her first. Seems to be getting stronger still.
I’ll be cutting firewood this morning.

Cool video.

PS550? Not a model I'm familiar with and not finding info on it. Maybe not available here in the US?

Its the same saw as the Makita EA-5600f in the Dolmar line up.
