Do you think it may be 4 stroke? The new pole saw and the MM4 demolition saws are 4 stroke and sits at 76cc?

The performance I do not think is there yet. I also would believe when they do introduce 4 stroke saws it will be in the consumer line first. More of a selling point and a little less performance is not going to effect sales at that level as it would at a 80cc saw. Unless they have the performance is there.
An 81cc dolmar would have to be a pretty awesome saw to gain any sales over the 7910. Unless they discontinued it.
Now what about the 56cc Farm saw that is coming out.
Think 56cc 421. Oh was I supposed to say that?
Model # ea 5600f

It will just have a slightly longer stroke like the 681 Solo. Solo designed the 6400/7900 so its no surprise they have gone with the better performing 681 style cylinder. It won't be Autotune, probably have decent air filter and better AV like the 681. Should be strato with no CAT, doubt it will be reed induction. Hopefully they have a Walbro and walbro filters. I am doing lots of guessing.... but educated guesses!

Makita website lists a new 56cc "farm" saw but no details. Oddly enough they list it with optional heated handles which would be unique to that market. Sorry to see the Dolmar name go away but glad they kept them red.

Asked dealer last week about what Dolkita were doing in their 90+cc saw line. He said "nothing", and gave the impression they were leaving those bigger saws to the big two.
