seeing as I owned it before randy...

I loved that saw. Back in the day Randy used to do a bunch of videos. If I remember right this is the saw he made it thru the second cut and then hit a nail. Stopped and said “uh oh, there’s a nail in there” as he shut it off. I hadn’t seen that video in a long time.

I believe this was the third or fourth saw he ported for me, and after it, it was a full-blown obsession. I’ve lost count but I know he’s ported over 50 saws for me, I can’t even remember what all they were. Kind of quit counting.

Randy has done 6 saws for me over the years, and I still have 3 of them.

The 261 Ver II and 462 see the most action.

This one still is and has been for the past 9 years:
Big Elm2.jpg
Makita Dolmar 6401 with BBK. The big bore puts it well over 70cc. On board here is a 32" bar. It's been hard to kill this saw. Most of the time I drop down to a 30" or a 28" bar, but occasionally I encounter big elm like this one shown here.

My Dolmar PS-7310 with SLR gutted and enlarged factory exhaust outlet with factory spark screen in place.

She is reliable, handles well, has good fuel mileage, features fast "in cut" chain speed, has enough torque to pull a 36" full complement round filed 3/8" chisel tooth B&C setup buried noodling beech all day long.

Hands down the Dolmar PS-7310 is the 70cc queen, given she is truly 70cc.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Dolmar PS-7900 just as well - but she is a beast that only comes out to play, or when I want to leave local Stihlheads drop their jaws in disbelief of her sheer power. :cool:
