The new 90cc class makita

[WoodsliverDan]

Where's the new 90cc class dolmar/makita? Keep hearing both ways from respectable sources.. so what's the deal?

I heard they are putting there efforts into other saws and are not going to build anything above the 7910. This comes from a reputable source

 

[WoodsliverDan]

I've heard both sides.. I feel like dealers and reps are told to hush hush..

I have heard a rumor that Makita is putting no further development into gas powered anything. Battery power is their main focus going forward.

I heard the same from a reputable source.

Just saw an article with pics of the “new” bike Harley is trying to come out with, electric. Ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Not trying to detail thread but all companies are trying to be eco friendly for public appeal.

Visited Nate(@fordf150) today. He mentioned that the new 90cc model has been cancelled.

Someone needs to call Makita up and tell them that a dumb *f-wording idea.

You going to the Paul Bunyan festival first weekend in October that Nate/Makita is sponsoring?

Yes, I've heard this as well. Then there was talks of 85cc.. seems like everything is well respected rumors..

Some one just needs to hurry up and get me a lightsaber and a hoverboard all ready! You could get some logging done with a quickness!

Expect to see a 70cc battery equivalent in the next 2-3yrs. Maybe sooner

Stealth chainsaws. Just need one of them electric supersplits and I can process all my firewood inside with the AC running?

My local Dolkita dealer has a catalog for battery powered makita tools an inch thick and only a brochure on gas powered tools...... Hmmmmm.

I really hope Makita unloads Dolmar, it seems increasingly pointless to hold on to them. The Makita website still doesn't show any saw "dealers" in Kentucky other than Home Depot, including one location that has been closed for ten years.

Sure would be nice to see DOLMAR on the saws again.

I've wanted to for a few years and this year looks like the year. One benefit of mending broken bones and not being able to work is having time to do fun stuff I otherwise wouldn't normally have. The sad part is I won't be able to capitalize on the great discounted price Makita gives on saws for the show!

I doubt an OPE maker is gonna produce a 90cc chainsaw because 50 chainsaw sluts on a forum want one...save your breath..
