Dolmar makes ok bar oil
I don't believe the 3.1kw figure for the 562 as it put cuts the 362c-m a friend has by a substantial amount.
No wonder, as it simply isn't true. That number is for the 555.
?
direct link to test report of 562: http://www.kwf-online.de/deutsch/pruef/pruefergebnisse/aagw/motorsaegen/6174_12e.pdf
imo, no one would feel 0.4 kW difference anyway. (unless it was an 1.0 kW max power saw).
kW is not the best indicator, but seems like most use it for that purpose?
....don't see this as being the case. (at least in the 'english language' report.
reason being, that the fuel consumption figures for the 555, are different that the one's as listed for the 562.
....as said, kW difference really is insignificant, and does not show what is important anyway,
Could any of that be due to California air standards?Makita/Dolmar is DEAD in California.

I noticed that the kW and the weight both were the 555 numbers in the "English" 562xp report - that's enough to totally dismiss that version of the report, without comparing every number in it. Just use the original report(s) in German!
Also, keep in mind that KWF is German.

good catch niko!
something WAS lost in the translation. i am not fluent in german, when i see an 'english' version of the report i use it.
will default to using only the original german version for all future references.

I really like hearing first hand experiences like this.Some things keep amazing me here. Some dudes clearly don't like Dolmar saws. After reading closely through the posts here Walker had issues with one saw. And to me it feels like all the parts issues he had were brought up to him by his own use. AV springs and a cover? Did your tree fall over in the wrong direction?
I love all my Dolly's. Especially the 7900 and 6100. Why? The 7900 is obvious. The 6100? Because this saw is slightly quicker in big wood than my colleagues 562XP's. Another reason? I'm still on my first 6100 without any misfire or breakdown whereas the two colleagues mentioned above have been in and gotten their saws swapped for others. The one colleague is on his second saw and the other is on his third saw in two years time.
Banter about Dolmar all you want. The real professionals that have made the switch to Dolmar all know that there are two things that make Dolly's stick out over Stihl and Husqvarna. They're great in power and keep running and running and running without real issues.
But by all means... Stick to Husqvarna when you're comfy with those saws. Because comfy they are for sure.

Is next to the stihl oil at my stihl shop ,2 bucks a gallon cheaper for the dolmar ,which amazingly has the same bottle as my husky oil but different color ,husky oil seems tackier thoughTo expensive , Boris, to expensive.
It was crunched by a skidder, as some times happens when logging. This matters not as the issue is lack of parts support, which is needed if you are a logger.Some things keep amazing me here.
