Good Deal

[Four Paws]

Well, if you didn't already notice these 2 auctions, I figured I would point them out for the Makita/Dolmar crowd looking for good saws at good prices! Enjoy!

Anybody ever run a 9010?

The Specs on Dolmar's website sure look pretty impressive.

I bet it would drag a 32" bar with ease! A 24 incher in hardwoods would be SAWEEEET! The last 9010 on Ebay went for $510.00 WHAT A DEAL! Buy it, Andy, buy it and test it and let us all know how much we NEED to buy one!

rugged and strong for light to medium cutting applications

wow, wonder what i'd need for heavy cutting applications.....

We'll see what it does tonight, it is pretty cheap if it is what they claim.

Better start lifting weights and toughen up :biggrinbounce2:

Somebody on here has a great signature - goes something like "The faster she guts, the sooner you can put her down." Oh so true!

Dolmar 9010:
I wonder where he's geting them because he said there's no warranty.

 

[sawinredneck]

Well................ I ran it to $470, wont pay more than that for a saw I know nothing about!!!!
Andy

 

[Four Paws]

Outbid by $5...I HATE when that happens!

 

[Hack]

I actually was gonna bid $525, but then I held back and only bid $452 which got rejected immediately. Whoever got it got a good deal, but I absolutely have no need for such a machine and it would've been just complete and total gluttony on my part. Oh well. Another toy that I really don't have a use for . . . but man that could've been fun!

 

[sawinredneck]

I ran it up several times, that was my limit, $485 was half, it might have been worth that, but I set my limit there.

I don't really need a saw of that size, I do need something of the 460 size, but have learned to buy a little bigger just because, so I am looking for something in the 660 class.
If I could have gotten it for half price game on, but I am leary of parts and dealers in the future, which is why I like my Huskies and Stihls, so no big loss to me.

I took the gamble and bought one off eBay and got it cheap. I figured what the heck and took the chance. I sent it to Dave Neiger whom has, not a little, past experience with Dolmar saws. While I don't have the saw back as of yet he reports it is an "extremely well built example" and should "generate a whole lot of horse power" according to him. I can hardly wait to find out first hand when he returns the saw. I'll keep you all posted, if you are interested.

I'll keep you all posted, if you are interested.

Please do.

Realistically, I'll probably top out with a 7900 down the road (the possibility of this rises exponentially the more I hand 'round you guys). There's over a 4 pound difference between the 9010 and the 7900 so that's real for me - me being a wimp and all. LOL!

Hack,
I'm in a far N.W. suburb of Chicago. How about you? If your close enough maybe you can run my 9010 just to see if you like it!

 

[Hack]

DUDE! I'm in! I need some excitement in my life!

Besides, maybe one of yous can show me how to use a chainsaw for crying out loud!

I just brought home my very first chainsaw just two weeks ago (why did I ever find this place?!?). It's a brand spankin' new 5100S! If BloomingtonMike never pointed me here, I woulda ended up with an Echo 346 and woulda been ignorantly happier than a pig in mud.


Edit - Dagnabit! If I knew there was another AS member so close to me, I woulda jumped all over that 9010! Doh!

I wonder who bought that saw - will we ever know?:biggrinbounce2:

Not to worry, that's the fourth or fifth 9010 that's gone it that price range. Perhaps there will be others before they become "trendy"!
