Ok so the stihl is a no go. There not on our vendor list. Without to much explaining it will be too difficult and too many eyes will be on the purchase if we try to buy stihl. Thats said it looks like makita is easy to get and on the list. So what models do I want to look for , for my stated use. I want to stay in the 40-50cc range. There is also a Solo availible but its a 40cc i think it was a 643??? Model number or something. Does that sound right? Is it decent quality. Thats the only solo he sees. So Dolkita experts what you say.
The Makita 5121 is a nice 50 cc saw and I think is the blue equivalent of the Dolmar 510. Either of those will run a 16" or 18" bar nicely.
If they would let you buy used? Carbine has a Dolmar 5100S in the Classifieds for just under $300. And that is one of the better 50 cc saws made.
Dolmar is not in the "catolouge". if they would let me buy uses there is a nice 036 id snap up in the classifieds..or was yesterday!! You know who I work for Dex...we dont/can't buy used. If you did not know that about is you do now.
Same saw. Different color. That's sad you can buy one, but not the other.. Either way, the 5121 would be a nice saw.
There is a 3120xp though on the approved list ...boss even mentioned it joking. Said it says $1600 . I said yea and thats a 120cc saw i dont want that for the truck...i dont want to lift that to trim a road out! Fun to have though...but seriously it was a joke anyway.
That's what I am asking? Why are you allowed to have a Makita, but no Dolmar? Scratching my head? It's the same saw. Just get the Makita For free? I wouldn't complain..
Cause it has do be in the catalogue?? I learned about 6 months into this job not to ask questions. You will just keep head scratching. Also and if it makes sense and we dont do it that way...just dont worry about it and do it how they want.
Would it be easier to list everything on that list that's 50-60cc? Instead of us guessing at what your allowed to have.
Haha Yea that would be a wise idea. Stayed home today for the woodshed install (check out my thread in the firewood neighborhood).. but will try and see what I can order tomorrow or next week.
