My Makita EA6100 in the Uk

[Adamski]

Hi all, does anyone have any love or need for these decent 60cc torque pigs. I'm selling mine as it just doesn't fit at work between my 50cc and 70cc saws. It just never gets used anymore. I bought it for felling, but now I primarily do residential pruning and climbing.

If anyone is interested give me a bell. Or really if you have any experience with yours I'd love to hear. I like reading a good post of two.

Mine is MMWS ported and drags 24"...would pull 28" skip. But yeah weird tweener saw size. I like it though. It is fast...shorter bar and chain and narrow kerf .325, big sprocket, it's a light saber.

Nice looking saw.

So I have been digging through my photos. I have found some decent pictures of what I mainly used this for. I primarily used the 6100 for felling large processing grade timber for firewood. Good size with a 20" bar for felling and logging it up. Ace saw for what I did. Like I said 60cc is neither here nor there for me at the moment. I use my 200t and 346xp for 90% of my work and my 575xp with a 24" bar for everything else.

I like mine, it's always had a 20". It's always been cleaned down and for a one saw plan. It's probably in my opinion a safe bet. Built tough, stronger in big wood than the 560xp used on the estate. And sounds better than any other 60cc.

But for me I use the following for work.

200t 12"
346xp OE 15"
545 mk2 18"
6100 20"
575xp 24"

And the 6100 just doesn't get picked up any more. I use the 545 for pretty much everything on the ground until the grossly underated 575xp comes out. I do toy about slapping a 24" on the 6100 and moving the 575xp on.

Hi Shaun,

It's been a long while. So long that I'm hoping it is Shaun? Fml. I have probably got it wrong. Yep after a couple of years working on estates I've got all my tickets and doing it myself. It's a right fun one subbing in people and organising my diary. If you are interested I am blackdogarb on Instagram. Would be good to see your pics if you are on there too?

My bones ache most days when I wake up. But I do like the life.

Thanks for the reply Adam,

I don’t really do much on Instagram, I only use it as a platform to find/see stuff.
Although I did follow just now “seanarbor”
