5 tanks in one day :crazy2:.... you're a machine!

I did one tank yesterday so only four today. I seriously have a lot of wood to buck and many more trees to fell after I finish bucking what is already down and stacking it in the wood pile. I flush cut a couple stumps too.

Man, I love this saw. I can't think of a better saw for my needs. My arms and hands are kinda tired right now :D
 
When should I be looking at upgrading the bar? Just when it looks worn? Which bar should I go with?
 
Don't look at a 6100. It is like a sophisticated big brother of the 421 that just got back from some covert military top secret program.

Yeah, won't matter. Last I looked they only had a few in stock at chainsaws direct. After that last Dolmar 6100s are gone, it'll all be down to aquamarine Makita "smurf" saws. :cool:

Ya looks like the same saw to me ... couple of ounces heavier than my 562, but looks like a nice saw! Would love to compare one to my 562.

Makita's aquamarine colour is switching to orange soon evidently. Get the blue while you can - collectors item :p
 
Ya the 6100 is not going anywhere. As far as makita is concerned the have owned dolmar for close to 20 years. The have no intention of changing the saws or the manufacturing. From what little I have learned the name change is a marketing and distribution change. Probably to make a push into box stores and cut out the middle distribution so they make more money off the small dealers.
 
Oh yeah, because copper chloride aquamarine/blue dye is really hard to find. :D
Although even the same chemical is differing shades based on hydration(light blue to dark blue to green). And you're gonna get more of a "green" just from plasticisers in the paint, and the plastics. Sometimes you even get variations in one big crystal mass. http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/files.php?pid=358716&aid=34634

Funny how some of the most popular colors are relatively simple chemically.
