562xp = $740msrp
6100= $610msrp
I'll take a same weight saw with 0.2 HP less for $130 less.
I'm a Dolmar dealer and walk in price on a 6100 is $549 plus tax. Retail is only $574.95. So with these prices make a comparison to the other saws listed.

Wow! That's some really educated talk there. You should try one some day. Let's say ten years from now. I bet you'll feel really stupid than that you where not able to use a break down free saw with more torque for all those years!The only reason to get a Dolly 6100 is because you happen to think a used SAAB is an interesting car to own.

A broken-in 562xp or 362 M will hand a 6100 it's ass all day long, and in bigger wood, and get you better MPG while doing it, and beat the snot of the 6100 if you resell as well. The only reason to get a Dolly 6100 is because you happen to think a used SAAB is an interesting car to own.

But hey, it's your money. Spend it the way you want. I don't care.
Don't judge someone's choice. Especially if you never used the gear you are taking about!

Got any vids to prove a statement like that or do you call 1/2 second difference in a 15 second cut beating the snot out of 1 saw or another. I'd guess most good 60cc saws are real close in cutting speed. Steve
Can you get bigger dogs for the 6100 ?
I'm not buying a jonsenred or husqvarna . I refuse to buy a saw from companies selling them at box stores that are basically all poulons with different plastic and yeah I realize they reserve their pro line for saw shops but it's the principle . If they cheapened em up for the box store than it makes me question if they are cutting corners in their pro line up too
Because it's rented out isn't the same as selling junk ..Your missing the point Makita is not a poulon with a orange jacketWhat about a company that rebrands, repaints, and then sells their saws in box stores?

Well surprisingly I wouldn't buy a husky as the title indicates I wasn't even considering that brand
Well this has been posted a few times so far, but for those not informed the 6100 was brand new and the 562 was from a customer...You mean to tell me you think a factory Dolmar would match an M-Tronic Stihl and an AT Husqvarna? That's something I would like to see, as well.
Somehow these explanations always remind me of what another member in another forum wrote.It is not about the same weight, and the whole concept behind the saw really is totally different regarding handling, agility and responsiveness - so a comparison really is futile.
Regarding weight, also remember that the 562xp is the "heavy" version of the 560xp/2260.
I was going to tell the OP that he should take an hr or so drive south because that's what they are advertised for around these parts.I'm a Dolmar dealer and walk in price on a 6100 is $549 plus tax. Retail is only $574.95. So with these prices make a comparison to the other saws listed.
Why didn't you try out a 6100 and do a comparrison? Should be some Dolmar dealers up there that would be willing to let a logger try out some equipment.Isn't the owner of that vid a Dolmar fanatic? Sort of makes it difficult to trust it. Got any third party tests?
No he is not a dolmar fanatic! He is a dolmar dealer. But I must say that I trust the video, because over the years I have read a lot of comments from 166 and have the impression of him being quite neutral in this brandbashing. And yes we are all hoping for more tests compairing all three models, because we know they will truely be objective.
Here in Europe, they do not differentiate the type of saw for the type of wood except when they talk 346 VS 261, really. And even then, they do less talking about that nonsense here than in the US. If you own Stihls, you generally buy another. Same with Husky. The 560XP is very popular now. I personally use a ported MS361 when I go 60cc, and also when I go 50cc as I dont cut wood small enough to generally warrant a 50.

Weight makes a difference. Why carry a 70cc saw if it displaces only 60cc's? I don't carry logs around all day, or up hill, but I do carry a chainsaw around all day. Weight always matters.
Absolutely correct if your are only a logger. But as far as I recall the OP was from a fellow looking for a "firewood" saw.... So I really believe that we should, if we want to answer to this thread, take his needs into account and not our own.
Wonder would a 6100 do this:
I sure am hoping for a GTG where all saws have a identically sharpenend brand chain. The carbs set and some great videos so that we finally have some better evidence. The problem as far as I see it, is that everyone is porting their chainsaw's today. So having "stock" comparisons is extremely difficult.Ah a Dolmar dealer. Much more trustful to compare Dolmar products to other makes, no?
It is the only video footage that I am aware of at the moment. And since the 562 is AT there is not much that can be done (besides dulling the chain, but that would be obvious) to tamper the saw.
Weren't we just having a marketing discussion with the OP in a previous post?
As I also stated previously, I do not have a horse in this race. We're probably going to have to wait for a GTG before the truth comes out. I hope the 6100 wins. It would be good for all of us, really.
