Dolmar PS-7300 with 30" bar

[AddisonM30]

Good Morning,
I am looking at purchasing a Dolmar PS-7300 and it has a 30 inch bar for $450. I want to make sure that this saw can run this size bar adequately. My dad and I cut firewood to burn with and we need a bigger saw for some of our oaks on the property. I have good experience with Dolmar saws in the past. I am just worried that this saw won't be able to run this size bar. Currently we run a Homelite XL-901 with a 24 inch bar but that saw is not the most reliable. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

It should be fine as long as engine in good shape.

My Makita 6401 with a big bore top end had no trouble cutting with either a 32" bar or a 36" now and then:
I believe it's about the same size as your Dolmar PS-7300. Great saws in my book. I still have mine and it still runs rock solid.

I worked for a Dolmar dealer " part-time " in the late 70's and can say with confidence, one of the best saws of all-time.
BUT with any saw you have to consider the mechanical condition of the saw.
Personally I'd buy something new and not take a chance on a saw that's no longer in existence.
