I need help in my descision!
I am thinking about changing my arsenal of saws. My situation is the following. I have a Makita=Dolmar 5001 (similar model as the 5100 with limited coil and decompressor). I just bought a Makita 420 on sale and now I have two saws very close together. Yesterday I saw an add for a Efco/Oleo Mac 162 for minus 30%. Now you hopefully understand my dilema. Quality wise both are pro quality so I am not worried about that. Spare parts are not that difficult to aquire.
The wood I cut is usually no problem for the Dolmar. I am in no hurry. I get a lot from tree companies and they usually don't have a lot of problem pieces(i.e. 70 or 80cc typ of wood). Noodling is the way to go.
From a logical point of view I wouldn't need it but as we all know this has nothing to do with logic!
So stay with 42 & 50cc or upgrade to 42 & 62 cc?
What are your ideas to an upgrade or should I stay the same?
Or should I just go buy it, try it and then deside?
Thanks for your input!
