I know I have posted a pic or three in other threads, but I was waiting to get them both. The 6400 arrived today (came 2 days ago, but was not here to sign). The 555 came last Friday Both amazing 60 cc saws.. Once the 362C comes back? I will be running a shoot out thread on the three 60 cc machines.
I will.. The Dolmar is definitely a little heavier, but it feels Very Good in the hand. It's a smooth saw with great lines.
Shoot out with all 3 , factory set ups ? Be great to get a real world test & weights. You are having a lot of fun , slaving away testing chain saws
That Dolmar does have some sexy lines. Cant wait to see how the shoot out comes out... Good looking saws Dex...
You should have Randy pack up that 362 and send it back for some stock testing against these orange and red saws. Once the 362 goes under the grinder it will likely look like those other saws brought a knife to a gun fight...and I don't think any of us want to wait until October when you get on Randy's list for the other 2.
Well, the 362 is obviously ported.. So these are gonna have to be as well. Already looking into another builder. As much as I want Randy to do it? Sept (damm near Oct now) is a long ways out. After running Birdgogtg's 562xp? I wouldn't mind having my 555 run close to that.
Dont forget Dan Henry for Dolmar and Huskys. One of the first to port them and is a dealer for them. Dozerdan Thats who the other guy you mentioned copied from. Bought his ported stuff for years, ran them tore them down and got info. I used to use him (other guy you mentioned) till I caught him stealing from me. I live 40 mins south of him. So just beware and pay attention of what your saws has on it going in.
There's other builders out there to pick from. Mweba is a good one for the 555. Tree monkey for the 6400. Remember it's an open port design.
I always wanted to check out some of Scott's work. From what I have seen top notch and one I could trust. Never ran any of Mitch's stuff either and would trust him too. Few builders I have seen inside their saws coming across my bench and not what you see in the hype.
Mitch, Scott, Brad, Terry, and Dan (Mike, Jeff, and about 8 others that come to mind) are all great builders and I would love to send a saw to any of them. The thing with Eric is, he is local to me. No shipping.. The 6400 is still open and I wouldn't mind trying someone else. And why is this saw OP design? Isn't 64 cc rather large for open port? The 73 and 79 cc jugs are CP? Correct?
