why would husky/jonsered market a saw that runs this poorly???

The Dolmar 6100 I did a few days ago really impressed the hell out of me. It might be a 562 killer.

Never ran a dolmar. Do they make Solos. I had a 656 it was a total disappointment.

I'll try to remember to post a video of my latest 550XP tomorrow. I've tweaked to "recipe" a little again. Found some more wow.

Stock VS stock, the 562 will wax the 362's ass.

The 362 will be killing trees a decade from now, and the 562 will be melted down and made into trinkets.

What makes you think that a 562 wouldnt make it that long randy ?..given it has good diet of fuel/oil

Solo and Dolmar designed the 6400 - 7900 platform together.

If the right guy was using it.......then it might Ryan. We have one that is a running SOB. It's got about 50 hours on it, and is on it's second top end, and second crankshaft.

Ok so the 656 is solely a Solo. I felt it was aptly named because you'd be the last one or cutting solo in the woods.

I have seen enough blown big end rod bearings on 362's that I would be careful making that statement Randy

Mine has paid for its self multiple times. Happy with this 11' model. Daily tree work.

The Dolmar 9010 was also a Solo/Dolmar deal.

25 hours and 350 ish starts 2013 model. No complaints.

Bashing Stihl and husky helps my sales so keep it up...When your tired of dealing with expensive finicky electronics I will give you $50 trade in on a real saw

What would that be?

Echo of course

Tell us how you really feel

How about ported versus ported?

A 562 is still faster..i have them both

I cant not love the filtration setup on the 362c though..

 

[Mastermind]

Let me be clear here.......

I like some of every brand. The meanest saws I own are........yep, Huskys.

My Poulan is a bad ass little ***** though.

Like Nate said......362 crank failures.......on the early ones before the "C" came out. I've seen a few too. I think they ate a lot of dirt with that early filter setup.

Nate, seen any 362C crank failures?

 

[thumbilly]

I've discovered that regardless of the saw a sharp chain is king. But I hate how cheap some saws feel no matter how they run.

Not yet but they only have a few. Most of which spend their time in the shop for running issues. They were just in this week. They have replaced the carb and module on every saw they own and they still won't idle. 8 mtronic saws sitting at the Stihl dealer because they won't idle. They run WOT but nothing else. I think he said they have 15 or so total. They are still under warranty so I'm not working on the electronic side of them yet. I need to get the software if that's possible?
