The 6100 is as close to a twin of the MS362 as it gets, according to specs and test result from KWF. Both are heavier and weaker than the 562xp, and no autotune or revboost.
So? "both" will probably run forever.......

We will see about that....

I was really going to look hard into getting this saw when it came out but not surre now. I have a 6400 and a 510 so no real need for another 60cc saw? Although i should be lighter than my 6400 i don't think it will cut with it?
I can do a 6400-7900 swap in under 1hr if the saw isn't too dirty...I imagine the number of guys doing the BB conversion on 6400's will have it down to a plug n play deal before long(if not already).
Dolmar 6100 vs. Husky 562xp (not to speak of the lighter 560xp) isn't a matter of a just couple of (or a few) ounces, and the other differences you listed either doesn't apply, or go the other way.
The 6100 just doesn't look very interesting, unless you are a rather desperate Dolmar fan - but I am sure it is a decent saw!
I would compare prices on the 7300 vs 372xp.Another question would be how is the price going to compare to the MS362 or 562xp over here?? Dolmar's prices used to be on the low side but i have noticed they have crept up in the past couple years?? At my dealer i can get a 7910 for $989 + tax and a 372XP for 849 + tax? I know most will say i'm not comparing apples to apples. But it is $140 diff. Just say'n. I would assume it will be close to what the 6401 is selling for now???
The 6400 will not be going anywhere. It's one of Dolmar's biggest moving units, so they will want it around. The 6100 is, despite hp being close, a different kind of saw in terms of application and feel. As for pricing, I am hearing about $600 retail. That would be a very attractive saw at that price versus the MS362 and 562XP. Every manufacturer's prices are creeping up, including Dolmar, but I think they are still very reasonable.So do you think the 6401 will be done away with one the 6100 comes out here?? What about in Europe where it is already out, is the 6401 still selling there?? Another question would be how is the price going to compare to the MS362 or 562xp over here??

I have a potential lead on a 6400 to BB, but I'm still thinking of waiting on the 6100. I've actually come around to the look. I'm sure it'll look great melting through some red oak.
Thats a great complement to the 6100. It doesnt get any better than being just like a Stihl model. it shows when you are number 1 everyone wants to be you.
The 362 is not exactly a win for Stihl...
Stacked up against the 562, it's woefully inadequate...
I, being a Dolmar fan, can only hope the new 6100 mods well, because just being a little better than the 362, isn't enough for me to get excited about it...
Though I'll probably get one...:msp_sneaky:
Funny how the pros in my line of work seem to really like the 362, and many have given up on the 562 due to reliability issues.....When they downsize from a Husky 372, they generally go to the Stihl 362. Oh, and BTW, 99% of them run stock saws. Pros generally run stock saws.
Go figure.
