Everyday day man's tree work and cutting thread

Don’t forget the Dolmar 7900 if you want to spend less than 500i $.

There's little to no support for most guys when it comes to dolmar/makita.

That matters for guys like Norm.

Nyet, dealer support is a must for yours truly. I don't want to be forked if something happens to the saw 5 years from now. I'm pretty sure I could get any 390, 585, or 500i part I needed right from the dealer at that point, but 7900 parts not so much.

Yeah I know for Norm…but Woodslasher here fixes his stuffs. That being said, long term…yeah might be an issue depending on how big of a hurry a guy is in to get a saw fixed. That’s why I just got a spare. Course most of us have enough saws (every 10 ccs) that one can pinch hit while another is down.

I’ll prolly never pick up a 500i cuz I don’t want to catch the di$ea$e

Oh yeah the pinch hitters

I know, but I was bored and I saw 3 500i's and a few 585's sitting behind the counter at the saw shop. I picked up a 585, thought "damn that's heavy", and as I was setting it down a 500i whispered "Try me, I'm better". I tried to refuse but finally my curiosity got the better of me and I picked it up. It was lighter, sleeker, and more nimble in the hand but deep down I know I'll probably stick with the wide shouldered and solid swedish gals. For day-in day-out comfort and ease of repair I can handle some extra weight every now and again.

The evil tempters at a saw shop let me piss rev a 500i that was in for crush damage , it was impressive response!

See, they know if you want to fondle/run one, you're the sorta person that's close to caving and buying one!

 

[Normzilla]

That was me, my local saw shop. Daren said, you wanna hold a 500i. I said na I'm good. Then I'm like ok. That was it

The yellow lowering device a friend built. For a tree service friend he has it was used for 25 years. Now given to me.

The parts saws, and non runners

Is that a 2100 concrete saw?

It's looks like a 2100 so deceiving. It's a 380k. And two 2100s

I like that.

 

[Normzilla]

I like that.

Thanks Amigo. My climber and I did a Eucalyptus takedown for the guy, who made the device. He told me the story and wanted me to have it. Super well built. Just needs a new strap.
