Dolmar 6100 vs Echo 620p

[nnero]

I'm not downplaying the amount of information and knowledge he has. It's impressive. His responses in this thread do not reflect that however and there are more constructive ways to state ones opinion.

I like his input. Sometimes its funny. Lots of time its just plain the facts. I'm going to like whatever I want at the end of the day, as will he.

We get it. You like Husqvarna and only Husqvarna. Bulky this, clumsy that, ugly here and sideways balance there. ....

Those things actually are important, and the main reason I mostly prefere Husky saws.

If you want to sacrifice handling, power to weight etc for a lower price, it is totally up to you.

What handles good in your mind isn't what matters. Firewood guys don't care about sideways balance. Most of them won't be cutting a fir, or pine variety. I'd rather use a 044 than a 562xp. How does that work out? It's the type of wood I cut. I could care less about sideways balance. Especially when bucking firewood. I find these "bulky" saws handle just fine when put on the log and buck up rounds.

6100-$525


That 620P for $589 is a deal!

Yeah local dealer has the 620p for $660. Needless to say I bought a 590. They were $400 same as everywhere else.

I love how sawTROLL ignores what people who have actually used the saws in question have to say. I think the 562 is butt ugly. So what? It has nothing to do with how it operates. He has added nothing of value to this thread.

Yep that is about normal.

Sounds like a pest or colara question to me?

your killin' me Niko

I like my echo cause itll stand up on its own without a kickstand.all of the newer huskys ive used rolled over in the back of the truck like they were drunk. I would even tie them down and they would still flop over to the clutch side.
Of coutse if they don't make it off the shelf that really isnt important is it?

Filters. Looks like Dolmar has it here. View attachment 399657 View attachment 399658

That filter on the 6100 looks outstanding and compact.

Just blocking logs in the yard is one whing, how well the saws handle in the woods are much more important.

The filter on the 600 is the only thing I really dont like.thats only because of the hole that mounts to the carb flange.it does suck in fine dust.I did make a silicone lip to help.looking into drilling it out and installing a rubber grommet.
If they were set up for the cs400 type filters that would be awesome.....hmmm

If you haven't used the saws in question your input is an opinion. With no real world knowledge none of what you said of the quality of design or handling carries anything more than a fan boy tone.

I'm a fan of the cover mounted tensioner. But I don't see that as a huge benefit. Just a personal preference.

 

[M&Rtree]

One thing I dislike about my 346xp. I like cover mounted tensioners also.

 

[quotejso2]

Isn't the carb not adjustable on the dolmar. I was going to get one until I heard that on here.

Yep I hated the 346 357 set ups. 6100 set up looks lot better then those POS ones on 346 etc though. IMO

Liked the JJ fix. Should have been that way from factory. JMO.

Fully adjustable.

 

[rburg]

I think the carb takes a special tool to adjust it.
