Makita 6421 from HD rental

It makes you wonder if they are trying to cover a saw that an employee sold and pocketed the cash.
That's just odd, whatever is going on.

 

Me too. The saw is quite a beast, even in 64 cc form with the stock tri-link chain. I even have extra full chisel chains, but still have not had to use them. I kept telling myself that I'll swap chains as soon as it starts allowing down and not cutting well. That hasn't happened yet.

I'm sure using a more aggressive chain will wake it up even more. When I went to a Stihl yellow RS chain on my 029s from the safety Carlton chain, it was a big difference, even when that safety chain was sharp.

 

I only made a couple of cuts with the bar and chain that was on it, I had a large Mount Oregon bar I took off my 61 and put on it with a new Oregon LGX, it throws some chips with that on there, and it will do some serious noodling, and doesn't clog up much at all with the inboard clutch.

 

I

I did a lot of noodling in huge tree service elm with my dolkita with that stock chain and bar. It threw some serious noodles.

The inboard clutch is what I'm used to. I can't imagine the clutch being outboard. Silly swedes.

 

There were 2 links for HDepot used tools that worked.
I find that only one works now.
It goes down and doesn't work at the beginning of the month while they are adding inventory for sale.
So keep checking till its back up. When something is sold it is removed from web listing at time of sale
Heres link for the one that works for me
