CAD...The struggle is real.
What would be a good saw to replace my super ez auto? I was thinking Dolmar ps-421. I'm looking for a new lightweight saw for the small trees and limbs.
I own Stihls and have had huskies and really like them but they cost a lot new and i'm looking for my first brand new saw. I don't come across big trees often and find myself using the super ez a lot. I love that little saw but I think it's time for AV and a chainbreak. I have an 18" on the EZ now and like your idea of smaller chain and maybe a smaller bar. I was thinking the Dolmar would cheaper than a stihl or husky new and a little better build than echo?Many saws come to mind, Stihl 026,MS250 Husky 346,353. These will cut faster than the EZ and may weigh a little less. The EZ is no slouch but suffers from a chain that's too big, might do better with a .325 or a 3/8 LP.
I totally agree, I dont know the exact reason but Homelite managed to make a little monster back then. I know I could buy a 50cc saw thats lighter and has more power than my Ez but I like the idea of less fuel consumption with the Dolmar 421 and I guess I started this because my local dealer in Maine sells stihl husqvarna and echo and was looking for a CAD enabler to convince me to try out a dolmar which i will buy at the dealer in tax free new hampshire. Also my Maine dealer is always Dsrp instead of Msrp which is always at least $50 higher plus sales tax.Most 50 cc saws made now are lighter than the super ez. It is the only 40cc saw I have ever run though that would pull 3/8 chain. The newer 40cc model often use lo profile 3/8 chain.
I like my echos. I bought my cs-300 almost new off a lady who buys storage units and resells the contents and it was her first week open in her store and I got the saw and a dremel tool for $40. When I ran a few tanks in the echo I went to adjust the carb and saw these stupid red tabs on the adjustment screws and searched google and came across this site and how to remove tabs and muffler mod it and that was the beginning of me knowing i wasnt the only guy who was obsessed with chainsaws. I let my buddy borrow it and he managed to knock the muffler off and the bolts holding muffler on broke off so now i run it with no exhaust at all its loud but seems to be fine. I dont think reeds care much about scavenging like piston ported. Anyways I didnt know about exspensive dolmar parts and dont know the dealer and i know my local dealer is good. I guess I cant go wrong with echos five year warranty even if it cost me a little more money. Cs-400 or step up to 450 with that nice looking air filter?I don't see that much wrong with Dolmar saws except for lack of dealerships in my area and high prices for parts. I have one close but he's about quit and went to mostly Echo. By the way, you might be surprised at how well the new Echo saws are built. That CS590 is a nice saw ,might be a little big for what you want but it has a few little brothers too. If it were me I'd prefer a new Echo to a Dolmar.
Never tried it but it or 3/8 LP would probably work real well, don't know if you could get the parts to change it to LP or not.Has anyone run 3/8 skip tooth on there super ez and seen noticeable difference?
Yeah I figured trying skip tooth would be the easiest and cheapest way for now.Never tried it but it or 3/8 LP would probably work real well, don't know if you could get the parts to change it to LP or not.
Definitely the cheapest. All you need is the chain.Yeah I figured trying skip tooth would be the easiest and cheapest way for now.
If I were to order a bar with my chain what would the correct mount be? Acres site said one mount and baileys bar selector said a different mount and only had 3/8 lopro bars.Definitely the cheapest. All you need is the chain.
The longest bar that was specified for the Super EZ was 16 in. The Super EZ's got their incredible power from the high compression ratio, not from the CC's.I own Stihls and have had huskies and really like them but they cost a lot new and i'm looking for my first brand new saw.
