I didn’t realise how much colour fading there is on my 2017 115

What did You expect using a "fade" contaminated Husqvarna bar on a pure bred Dolmar!?

You infected the Dolmar 115 with the fade illness!

Dolmar version is the PS-352

So, the 115 is the Super XL or Mac 10-10 of Dolmar. The old workhorse that outlived many would-be replacements!

Hmm , I never look at saws that small in displacement - maybe I should!?

Love the Black/Red color scheme.

Don't call it color fading, call it color variation or color richness!

Yes it is they must be all like that then

Yes they sure did it’s amazing I think it was running for 32-33 years

The 115 likes burying the H bar in wood ha ha

In a way yes, the 115 has been an old workhorse maybe not surviving its younger predecessors but coexisting with them.
And in some way it resembles the VW beetle, which has been produced decades after its expected decease. And like the beetle,
there are little to none parts of the 115 that haven't been changed during the course of production.

I found the new 2019 DOLMAR product-catalog on the german website these days. The following petrol saws
are no longer included (although they are still listed on the website, but Makita's webmasters are known to a little slow):
PS-222
115
PS460 (has anybody an idea what this one was good for?)
PS4605 (same)
PS9010

I think the politically correct term these days is “color diversity.”

 

[ajschainsaws]

If it bothers you that much just send it to me and I’ll dispose of it properly.

Thanks just checked shipping is $499 bucks

A couple of cuts I was really pushing the saw trying to stop the chain.

Holds really good RPM in the cut.

Enough toy saws for now, let's get ready for the real thing:

Sadly, the Super XL and 10-10 were discontinued right around the time their respective makers did their last circle around the drain. I hope that is not the case for Dolmar, but the way Makita has handled them the past few years does not give me any confidence. In fact, I don't even see much future for Makita branded saws. Dealer presence for either brand is the smallest it has ever been, even though this is a rural state with a very healthy OPE market.
