The Small Dolmar/Makita Thread..Max 50cc class

[Hulsty]

3/8 full chisel 18" bar. I would like to swap to a nicer bar, but doesn't look easy. I noticed today both my ea4300 and 7901 have semi chisel chain. Might be worth a change when replacing

Why is it not easy?
k095 / small Husqvarna bar mount should be extremely common everywhere and from most Manufacturers.

I think my PS-550 wears a 16"?
It is 56DL in 3/8".

Yes, swap Your 4300 & 7901 over to full chisel!
They will feel like different saws, in a good way.
My EA4300 came with a .325" full chisel and she is hauling!!!

 

[Hulsty]

I'm just being picky, I wanted a sugi or Tsumara Light, which seem not in stock around here (Aus).

OK.

Get one shipped from someone on here?!

Does your 4300 also have a lo pro, narrow kerf chain? Looking to pickup a setup for the new to me teal 4300.

Huh, I had to check as I wasn't certain.

Regular .325" full chisel and she hauls it like crazy, outperforms my PS-4600S with .325" semi chisel.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Been thinking about doing this conversation from 3/8 lopro to 325. I cut at 7,000ft so I should probably move up to a light 50cc, but I love that Dolmar torque and sound…

She thrives in fresh small OD wood and branching/limbing.
She is a bit off and I love her for it.

That looks like it cuts like a dream! Is it stock other than a MM? I am looking forward to getting mine setup and cutting in some wood.

100% stock, no MM, not even tuned right, has choke linkage issues - she needs a little love, waiting in line for it.

Great saw though, I was pleasantly surprised having purchased her on a whim in a 3 saw lot.

It looks like she runs strong!

Is the 460 open port design.

 

[Wood Doctor]

And, I still love my Makita 520i.


Not heavy and lots of power. Always starts and runs well.

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

I'd like to add one to the collection.

I don't know, never bothered to look it up.

Small Dolmar team at it again, PS-460 & PS-550 dismantled another uprooted cherry.



This standing partially rotten cherry is going to come down too.
