I haven't been to the woods nor used my saws for two months now, I am getting a little restless.
Those are nice saws AND bars, they additionally pop out on the snow covered ground.
I missed the chance to make a winter photo shoot, maybe I'll get another one.
Winter is the best season for gathering firewood, you gotta get out to the woods and do some sawing
.I'm looking forward to winter pictures of the dolmar with the 36" bar.

Yes, that is the 53" bar from post 21.
I personally prefer spring and autumn for firewood gathering, not to cold and not to hot.Winter is the best season for gathering firewood, you gotta get out to the woods and do some sawing
I'm looking forward to winter pictures of the dolmar with the 36" bar...
We currently have very warm weather, but I will arrange a photoshoot session the very next snow we get!
I am anxiously waiting for my firewood logs this year, hoping to get something worthy of my Iggesund Forest bar and my PS-7900.
I'll be busy shortly here. Got the 281 running again(had ignition issues), and getting new chain in. Loads of timber on the ground from winter storms I need to clean up around the estate.

Here's my Husky 61 with a 34" bar.. it's a little nose-heavy, but really not terribly bad.. If you carry it by the brake handle it's balanced OK... It does suit the 394 or 2100 a lot better.

Hi,
Great photo!
How do you like the Iggesund bar?
You worked a "few" hours with the 7900, us I see.......
What is your experience about the 7900 so far?
The bar has only a few hours work on it but so far I'm very satisfied (30" by the way)
The 7900 is a good saw and you are right I use it a lot.

I don't really see how a 7900 can keep enough oil on a 36" bar though?
I kept and keep reading about the Dolmar/Makita 64xx/73xx/79xx saws being stingy on oil delivery!?
It even made me worry that I might encounter issues regarding sufficient lubrication when I purchased my 36" B&C setup - but no such thing.
How come I have no issues with oil amount on neither of my two saws?
Mine are early 2000's builds, is it possible they featured different oil pumps?
I doubt it though.
Do You guys use thicker oil then I/we use here in Croatia?
I don't know what to tell You, I just don't seem to have any oiling issues with mine and I don't seem to be completely alone on that.
After a work session, when I sharpen the chain (free hand filing) the chains are wet to the touch on my 20" B&C setup.
My 36" B&C setup has seen very little use thus far, but it was anything but dry when I hung it on the wall - there was even a tiny puddle of oil on the ground underneath the hung up bar a few days later.
The other day I chose to start my saws as they were sitting on the shelve for almost two months, my PS-6400 had no B&C mounted and it started pi$$ing oil from underneath the clutch cover while idling within seconds. My PS-7900 had her 20" B&C setup on and within a few throttle blips the ground underneath the entire bar length got oily wet.
I had to break out a cotton cloth to wipe the oil off the ground.
Anybody not liking how their 64xx/73xx79xx oils can feel free to send me their "defective" saws free of charge so they don't have to worry about sufficient oiling anymore.
P.S.:
My PS-6400 & PS-7900 seem to pump about the same amount of oil (just an estimated observation, nothing scientifically backed).
My PS-7900's pump is maxed out and one tank of oil (420ml) goes on one tank of fuel (750ml) in about 30 minutes bucking logs.
My PS-6400's oil pump is turned down a little bit because she'd end up without oil before spending a tank of fuel - I have her pump tuned to go 1-on-1 regarding oil-to-fuel and she's still spitting oil within a short out-of-the cut blip when checking oil flow.
Finally got some trigger time on my Iggesund Forest bar.
Unfortunately, the butt of that firewood log was the largest I got and now that it's bucked off the rest can actually be dealt with a 20" bar in a single cut.

That's turkey oak, contains a hole lot of moisture/water.
That cookie will fall apart as it dries out!
