    The chainsaws will continue to be "Warm Red" & Black and marketed as DOLMAR. I'm hearing that the Makita "Teal" saws will be turning to the Dolmar color scheme in the future.

    October 1st is when dealers will start dealing with Dolmar/Makita USA direct for wholegoods, and parts.

    166 are you a dealer? Sounds like some inside knowledge

    This is good news. I was really hoping they wouldn't be turning the Makita colors.

    Whats the deal with the Maruyama? Marketing for a different area? Same basic saw?

    Not sure about the marketing but it is the exact same saw with a reverse color scheme.

    Almost replied as:
    No but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.:rolleyes:

    When the dust settles it will be better working direct. Dolmar will be getting more help from Makita than ever before.

    We sold Maruyama back in the late '80s.

    Their trimmers were way ahead of everybody else back then.

    They are a 120 Year old company!

    It is my understanding that Maruyama is a Japanese outdoor power company
