Can easily be fixed!
I have to "fix" my PS-7310, I don't like her scream at WOT under load - way too high pitched.

Almost TWO decades to be precise!
Nice picture. One of my favorites. Wish I had kept more dolmars
I'm just talking sh1t!! Love me my Dolmars and was admittedly rolling my eyes a little about how everyone was basically busting in their pants over the 462 and it's specs. I'm sure it'll be a sweet saw.........................................................BUT NO 7900!!!! BAM!! Happy new year stihlies. ENjoy them dranks everyone!!
I get your point & agree with it. Dolmar in the saw market did very well off the back of the 6400/7300/7900 series of saws, many who ran & owned them bought other Dolmar products. Did Dolmar really design the 7900 with this unprecidented power to weight ratio and great handling design? Or was it engineers from another company??? They sure took the credit for the series, ever heard of a little saw producer in west Germany called....

Just purchased the new MS462 they are amazing. The balance and handling is awesome and the acceleration make limbing a breeze. Absolute animal of a saw

There's a marketing scam going on with the 462. Look at the little itty bitty single inner bucking spike and that miniature clutch cover. When this thing hits the west coast it'll have full wrap, a large clutch cover, oversized dual spikes... How much weight will it add?

Holy zoombie thread
Marketing scam? Official saw specs have never included those options.

True, and not only with Stihl.

True, but the weigh spec. of said Dolmar never was true - at least not to my knowledge, on production saws that has been put on a scale.
Of course we don't know if they are true for the 462 yet....

Have you read official saw specs for American market options?

If she hung out at my dealer I'd need a 2nd mortgage to pay for all the Stihl stuff I'd own. haha

The weight of the 462 is true, here is a picture

The big clutch cover is about 40 Grams heavier, idk how much heavier the big dogs are.

Not even close to being the same. The 462 will handle better, last longer, and damn sure rev up faster. Dolmar is so clunky they have to use catalytic converter mufflers. Not to mention, they are just plain ugly. They are kind of like that ugly girl in high school you're friends with. It's alright to get dirty with as long as no one has to see you doing it.
Edit: Damn it, I got baited into an old topic lol
Well the problem with Dolmar is you can’t buy them everywhere where you can the Stihl. I’ve never even seen or heard of a Dolmar until I came here. I’m not against them because I’ve never ran one they just don’t have good availability in my area.

The only people that dis' Dolmars, have not ran one. Or ran an old SD. Of course, most are merely speculating on the 462 as well...
