Dolmar 6100

[holeycow]

Too bad for them... I run modified saws...

yup too bad for them. They need a reliable saw that lasts at least a season or two. And doesn't make excessive noise. And has a spark arrestor. And doesn't vibrate. And doesn't need any particularly specific fuel or oil. And can roll around in the back of a pickup without getting broken. And can spends nights out in the rain. And can run at -40 or +40 from 0 to 7000'. These are attributes that actually mean something.


Many confuse screaming revs and noise with power. A sharp chain separates winners from losers more than any other "power" upgrades.

Never saw a real sawhand time any cut....because it means nothing in the real world.

You Husky guys really push your brand hard. Compensating for something?

My 385 has a spark arrestor. Sounds to me like you have zero knowledge of modded equipment. Yeah the money we save in parts we use to make work a little faster. But enjoy your kool-aid

Price

The PS-6100 (out West) will have a list price of about $575 with 20" bar, 3/8, .050. That's a good price, but we'll have to wait another 2-3 months to see how they run.

You just described all but 2 of my saws...
Thank you for proving my point...
Whatever you do, don't mod one of your saws...

Oh, and I run Dolmars...
Almost exclusively...

The 6100 isn't really an alternative to a 6400 with a 7900 top end, if that is what you are referring to - and it surely is uglier. :msp_wink:

Maybe I should clarify for you. If I get 6400, it's kind of like you may as well bb it just...because. But I don't need more than a 24", so I'm thinking of the weight savings. As for aesthetics, I'm more of a guy who likes the performance do the talking. Every Dolmar I've used has spoken loudly.

The Dolmar 6100 is now on the US website Dolmarpowerproducts.com

We're supposed to have them at our door tomorrow, but we will see if they are on time or not.

 

[Hedgerow]

So are these a strato design? Or traditional quad port design?

 

[exSW]

I do believe they are stratos.

 

[7sleeper]

I do believe they are stratos.

That is correct!

[Hedgerow]

I need a peak inside... Anyone track down something showing the port configuration???
Or am I gonna have to buy one to see for myself???
Don't really want to do that...:msp_ohmy:

Judging from the weight, right side carb adjust, handle, and overall look it's much more similar to a 5105 and appears built on a 5105 type frame.

So putting a bigger jug on a 5105 ?

A 6400 is cool but really loving the 84cc BB kit... it really isn't a fair comparison 6100 to 6400.. you need to judge power to weight of the 6100 vs the 7900.. which is the best frame / displacement combination of the 6400+ series.

For power to weight with dolmar you would want to buy the most powerful (largest cc) saw in the same frame class right? .... so a 60cc 5105...that seems like a winner.

too bad I'm fully equipped

Yeah... The 6100 appears to be designed to compete directly with the 362.. Weight and power...
In stock form, it may well do just that...
But I'm more interested to see if its a platform that can be modified as easily as the 261, but in 61 cc clothes...

 

[moody]

After Kentucky I'd like to port one.

 

[SawTroll]

Like Christmas in July. We have 2 quality German built 60cc saws to chose from. Thanks for the recommendation Sawtroll.

It actually was the opposite of a recommendation - and so far I have only the specs to go on regarding the weight and power of the 6100.:msp_sneaky:

They may end up being just another decent saw in the loooong lineup of decent saws out there...
Just curious about the innards mostly...

In that class, it's just hard to match the 562...
Stock of course...:msp_sneaky:

The 261 needs much more extensive mods than both the 346xp and 550xp, to be even close in performance - according to what I have picked up?

Extensive, yes...
But simple...
The carb set up will be what I'm most interested to see...
I'm curious more than anything..

So whats the MSRP on the 6100?
