I think he means the honeycomb aluminum shelf brackets.

My panties aren't in a bunch. I thought I was talking with an adult, but now realize that I have more meaningful conversations with my dog. Carry on.

I don't hate anything made in Germany, it is just that PB is totally right about he wrote about Dolmar here - they simply aren't much of a factor in the market. Nothing really significant has happened in the more that 10 years since the 7900 came out, and there precense is very spotty, at best.....
Hi!
Like I said,
Screw their business model,
They make some damn fine saws.
And there are good dealers.
Ok so they don't have all the bases covered.
But as a whole they sell many more good saws than bad.
Can't say that about Stihl and Husqvarna?
Guess until you have ran as many as myself, you just won't get it.

Id be interested in this new saw. As far as having a good dealer, I suspect it's only a mouse click away in todays computer world. I have several Husky dealers here locally- one shop that only caters to 2 cycle tools, but I would rather use the sponsers here for any saw purchases. Dont we have a good Dolmar dealer here on this site that is somewhere up in NY? If this saw does exist and pans out- he can have my money.

166 is a dealer/sponsor and so is Edge & Engine.

The rep that stops in our shop that also carries several lines, including Dolmar, told us the only thing they had coming out in the near future was down in the 40cc range, maybe he was not telling the whole story but was making a pitch for us to add the line. I think they are fine saws, personally I'd rather carry the Dolmar line of saws than Echo, but we have too many customers who like the Echo line of string trimmers to drop the line, he also mentioned their biggest struggle is the same as everyone else, meeting EPA regs.

There are GREAT Dolmar dealers on this continent! At LEAST Two, maybe Four.
A lot of mediocre dealers that aren't really doing any thing for the brand.
And a bunch of crap dealers that deserve the butt-kicking they're getting.
Dolmar should go wide-open on internet sales. Discount saws, low cost two-day shipping on parts, online IPL's, the Whole Enchilada, all in on the internet. It will work for some small builder, someday.
I would like to see a 52cc saw on the 420 chassis. And a 62cc saw on the 5100 chassis. Wouldn't that be neat? I think Either could be made to work.
They don't have anything for the EPA Right Now, however, other than sealed carbs and cat muffs.
I like Dolmar, and embrace Diversity, and My ignorant ramblings on this subject are Not meant to offend.
I LOVE my ps401!

I almost posted mine for sale but when I started disassembling it to clean it- and found no real dirt, no knicks, no real use, and saw how well it was constructed..... I knew I couldnt but anything today that was built to the same quality in my opinion.
I posted pics of it in the "Mastermind meets the Dolmar 120si" thread after I got it cleaned up. And Jacob J had this insight for me ''The 120 as a stock saw is a good runner, but yours is that much better after having had Randy go through it. 562s will be around for a long time and you can get one of those later, but a 120 like that is very hard to come by.'' I am so glad I didnt get rid of it.
Never seen a 76cc 116si, but you have my curiosity peaked.
The service a person would get from Steve (166) and co. is top notch. I've bought saws from him
and he's treated me very well.
Kyle and co. (Edge and Engine) are also excellent.

so i started this thread to share some info on what i was told from dolmar...if you don't like dolmar don't post in this thread, simple as that. no bickering or banter about husky or stihl theres a best 50cc saw thread somewhere for that. i want to know more about this supposed 100cc+ dolmar saw or saws...if anyone can help that would be great.
