I picked up a used 6100 with the notion of flipping it but after bucking up some fallen timber I've given that a re-think.
It really is a nice saw.

I would love to try one of those. I had a Dolmar 120 (68cc) for years. Best saw i ever owned. But that was 20 years ago.

So just read this, and now that all the saws have been in the hands of many guys what's the word on the street.
Interesting the length of the bars tested with on the top of the data sheets: stihl 45cm, husky 38cm, and dolmar 50cm 3/8 LP.
:22 LOL, :25
, the body cannot live without the mind, enjoy you toys boys

Stihl was 40cm
Pretty sure it said 45 and only 38 on the husky 
.
Not sure if that makes a bit of difference for the testing.

Just get the Dolmar Brett. You read more than I do, and the only complaint about them is "bulky" or heavy on paper. Yet you rarely see guys that sell their "personal" Dolmar. I sold one and gave one away only because I wanted to try other models. Now I've come back around and am building another for myself.
Of course I'm talking about the 50cc flavor and that's not what this thread's about but supposedly the 6100 is even better in it's class.

You have to read at the bottom, it says tested with 40. Just busting your chops. Mr. Evans ran a 357,6100. and 562, that he had ported against each other. Mine was the 562 with slowest cut times. I really don't worry about 1/2 seconds or few ounces when cutting firewood. Will say I do not need to carry a screw driver. Do like running it.Pretty sure it said 45 and only 38 on the husky

I haul a diaper wipe container to the woods with me every time that holds spare chains for whichever saws I bring, a scrench, and an orange screwdriver. Even if I had a 'puterized saw I'd still bring the screwdriver to clean rails and what not. No offense Duce....

If I'm rolling heavy. Usually I am sneaking out after work so I gas and oil two saws at home and just bring them and my diaper wipe pail. The hatchet and cant hook usually live in the truck over the winter.
IMO, you buy the one you get the best local support with.

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Yeah, but you don't live in Oz or NZ mate. Check the "local" prices down here and you'll be asking yourself if "local support" is worth that much of a premium.
.... be thank-full you have woods..... we have no woods here in Utah
I use my saws to..... cut tumble weed....

I ended up buying both. But sold the husky. I felt the Stihl had better Torquey power. Both were stock.

I can't argue with that.

After my 562xp (2013 model) got the kinks worked out, it starts and runs easy every time. I had a 362 non m-tronic version for a while and I couldn't tell much difference in power - but I preferred the slimmer feel of the 562.
So that I don't disappoint the call for more debate/controversy ...
I think those stats may have been done by the judges during a German beer festival!

Good eye! Looks like may be a typo as the body of the piece clearly states 362. But maybe it was Beer Festival day after all
