Dolmar 6000i, yea or nay?

[husky46cc]

Have a chance to buy a Dolmar 6000i for $190-$200. Don't really need it right now, but when has that ever mattered !!
Saw apparently runs well, cuts well, 20 in. bar. What say you all? Is this a good buy?

Thanks,
Tom

Yes, friend has one and the strongest 60cc saw in the cut I have seen.

I missed a chance to grab one in great condition at a great price and have forever regretted saying no.

I just got one - and I'm very impressed.

It's a heavy old thing for a 60cc saw, but it pulls a 20" well, oils well, starts easier than any saw I've ever used and everything on it seems well built. I like that it is convertible between small and large mount husky bars.

I bought it because a friend had asked me to keep my eyes out for a saw for him, not sure I can part with it now! For firewood duties I can't imagine a better value saw.

Tom,
Buy it....you'll never regret it!!

They are a little heavy but the way they run and the way they are built is something we need more of these days.

I run a 24/skip on mine without a problem. You'll be amazed at the bottom end torque the saw had and excellent throttle responce!!

One of my favorites!!!!

You really are sick,,,

But you are too late, I had already PM'd him,,, so you are second in line now,,,,,

 

[Red Elm]

Haha! Good for you. I don't NEED it, but I sure wouldn't let one slip by.

I've tried to talk Poleman out of his, but he hangs on to it like ticks on a beagle hound!

I know another member who has a 6000i who was looking to sell or trade a while back.

I bought one several years ago used. It is a very nice saw in the woods. Gets the job done.

Spring of 2013, I changed it to a 6800iH with a new cylinder and piston. It is still a very nice saw. I have other saws a little larger and a little smaller. This saw holds its own with the others.

The 6000i is pretty much the same as the 116i but has been moderized with an inertia activated brake.

Yours had heated handles too, right?

 

[w8ye]

Correct, you can see the switch in the picture. I didn't know it had the heated handles until after I bought. They work too.

I put the outside dawg on it. It is a inside spike with the Rivnuts knocked off and genuine outside spike screws fastening it to the clutch cover.

 

[RiverRat2]

Schweet!!!!

Last I checked (couple years back) you could still get a 49mm P&C from the Dealer.


6000i/116si, 46mm, 6800i/120si 49mm.

Never used any saw that was more eager to start!

 

[weedkilla]

Anyone done a compression check on theirs? Mine is pumping ~160psi with 40thou squish.

Why you quote me? I didnt ask anything about that stuff.
