DOLMAR 6100

6100 owners, any feed back? likes or dislikes. problems.

We have sold a bunch. Only thing we have seen is the primer line coming off the back of the primer bulb when torqued on or pinched. Otherwise all reports are good!

 

[dugide]

what do you to fix that problem?

May I guess... put it back on.

So far so good. What worries me though is the bottom of the machine.
I'm a city arb mostly working on paved ground. The lower part of my 5105 has a nice black flap covering the tank. The bottom of the tank on the 6100 hasn't and the plastic weld looks kinda ***
I'm not waiting for trouble. I'm going to cover it up by fixing some industrial rubber flap onto it.

New primers will be available soon with barbed fittings instead of smooth ones.

No to de-rail here, but is there a barbed fitting fix for the 6400-7900 oiler line? I ask as mine's pooped off once and I had it fixed as I didn't have the manual and managed to over center the chain brake in trying to take it apart and fix it... I hope to give a 6100 a try soon at my local dealer. It isn't as sexy as my 562, but I like the feel and the reports I've had from a few owners...

Boyd is the power better than the 6400 with same bar and chain??

As far as I understood the 6100 is stronger in smaller wood but looses when the wood gets very big.

Have not ran them hard head to head. I would think 20" cutting firewood probably not a big difference. But blocking 20" plus with a 24" bar-I'd bet on the 6400.

Thinking about buying a 6100 with 20" b/ 3/8 chain for 523, no tax and free shipping from SLE in Tennessee. Any better deals out there?
