Actually, that red elm split very easily and with no stringiness. All I had to do was wait until the bark started falling off before splitting it. Fabulous firewood, it burns with no sparks, kicks out a bunch of heat, and leaves behind no cinders. I treat both Siberian and American elm the same way.My splitter is over in the corner curled up in a ball thinking about that Elm....
im interested tell me moar.
Parts pricing is changing. Some parts have went up and some down. 7900 cylinder kits came down $20 in price. Coils went up $15 for example.
This was my thought. Because every saw comparable to the 6100 was $75 - $200 more, so obviously the market is willing to pay for it. They just need to get it out there more. Even at $625. It is a lot more attractive and interesting price then the $750-$800 for the big two's offerings
I have disagreed with this line of logic before and will again. Why not compare the Dolmar 6100 with the Husqvarna 555? Both have non stuffed cranks. The Dolmar one is going to get you state and maybe county sales tax while the Husqvarna ones can be had for shipping and I doubt many pay the sales tax on their income tax forms. For those that think Ebay is a place for an appraisal go there and do some comparisons.
Ya the 555 is included in that more expensive even on ebay 555 $649 before retail in 6100 $575 and could be had for less at dealer sooo. Ya and even if the price does go up it is still cheaper than ebay 555 and has better air filtration, fuel milage, and power. Don't take it the wrong way I know the the 555 is a great saw and is worth looking at if buying a saw in that class. But Dolmar has gotten my attention lately + the best chainsaw shop in my area carries Dolmar if they sold husky that is more than likely what I would of bought.
I agree especially with a great top handle saw. I imagine a 421 as a top handle would be a very desirable saw if they could get it in the 8 pound range.
Maybe I have??
