    Sometimes i question why my, dumb self, got rid of my 6401 w/oem 79cc top end. Awsome saw!!!! Bought the saw for cheap and my buddy worked for the local distributor for dolmar so i got a small discount on the top end.

    Only thing I did wrong on my 6400, was putting an AM topend on it. The OEM 64cc jug is greatly, and I mean GREATLY underrated! Awesome saw buddy, I am sure you will enjoy it!

    This one is a keeper...

    As is the 460, 441C, 362C, and from what I seen, the 555.

    I honestly think I'm done.. At least for a while. ;)

    I would take a little extra Pee, if that 572 were to hit the shelves soon :)

    Dex won't buy any more saws until the next time he buys a saw. Honest.

    I'll probably wait on your opinion of it before I buy one. I've been let down with most new saws any more.

    But who knows if they'll release it as it was tested??

    That's what I'm wondering myself. You never know what they'll put out for production.

    I'm buying a 460/441 for my buddy (member Joshmain) but after that. I honestly am done. I have a lot going on in the next 2 months and I am in truck mode. My wife got a new Traverse. Now to get me a "newer" Diesel :thumbs:

    This saw would be the only exception. But I would sell a saw to buy a saw.

    I have 5 saws now. . I will only have 5 saws (all the projects don't count ;)) I wanted to get to 4 saws. But I like 60 cc saws to much. I have to have a good 60 cc by every manufacturer. :thumbs:

    I have 4 runners now. 550, 372, 385, and 088. I have to reassemble the 046 when I get home and port the new cylinder for it. I may have to add a dolmar to the line up eventually. The 7900 just didn't balance right to me with longer bars. They do have one of the most comfortable full wrap handles out.
