Iowa Spring GTG II

hmmm, sounds good and levels the playing field for the novices... Only question is who will be the first to cheat? LOL!

ms250, echo 330t, or ???? Just trying to think of something that everyone can find and lay their hands on easy enough... Or anything 40cc and under or just make a sized group or two???

I didn't cheat on my last buildoff............... No one told me you HAD to use a 350 crank!!

Just say anything under 70cc and go for it... Have some fun comparing models and makes... Or anything under 60cc...

Mark will probably have a 166 in yellow there... he may or may not let you run it but you can at least look at it from a safe distance :hmm3grin2orange:

I'll probably bring a load of saws w/ me but I do agree that one of the firewood processors would be cool to look at and play with. I've never seen one myself... I'm assuming we are talking the 10+ HP models with the hydro log lifts and dual pass splitting right? Either way it might be cool to see what people are planning on having there... Here's a short list i'll probably have with...
7901 - 9010 - 6800i (or two) - 520i
036- 026/260- 310(mitch built) - 046 mag - 076
maybe the 655BP if it's running by then. I might have to beg and plead with alex to make me an intake for the K&N filter for it...

I see you have a 7901 in your post... which is better? The 7900 it the 7910? Are there any differences?

7901 and 7910 are different... the UK, EU, and AU all sold the 6401 makita as well as a 79cc version too, the 7901 (ie: my 7901makita = 7900 dolmar). I have a OEM 79cc top end on my 6401 so I call it a 7901 since that's the proper name for it. I've done some more modifications to it besides the top end though... All i can say is it's blowing 185psi warmed up now...

The 7910 changed a few things. It has a differnt muffler and the bottom end got hardened/strengthened. Not sure if the 7910 had anything else change... there are posts on it from when the 7910 was new.

As far as which is better... Don't think there is much difference in cutting time on them. Some guys have tried muff mods on them. I like my 7901/7900 b/c it's a proven saw. You go changing things and you won't know whether they are good changes until a year down the road when they have been tested for extended periods of time. I will say this. I'd rather run my 7901 over any 044/046/460/440/066/660.

What about anything 50mm or under? No base, squish or popup. Or before a certain year might be interesting.

7910 is still strong, but about half a hp down from the 7900... No word yet as to hp gains with MM...
But very solid.

Lol sorry, I knew that the 7901 Is the blue version of the 7910 lol typo... I had a 7900 for a while but my cousin blew it up and I just parted it out. I want a new 7910, but if dolmar is going to come out with a 100cc+ I might go with that.

I do have a 170/180 I could run, but there is no way to run those little limbers though decent wood. It would take forever for them to hog thru a 12-16inch cant!

Alright I got one we can all agree on...

MiniMAC build off!

I wouldn't hold your breath for the 100cc. Rumors leak and it will still be 2 years till we see or hear anything solid from Dolmar. IF they only have proto-types done for testing there is ZERO guarentee that it will get produced. Point in case Dolmar 134... yeah never heard of that one have you??? it was the supposed predicessor to the 9010 and never went to market even though prototypes were made and tested. The only thing that 100cc Dolmar thread is doing is creating hype over something we'll probably never see... You'll have a better chance finding a 153, 655BP, 125sp, 797, 650 or 166 in good condition for a good price... Just sayin...

Agreed, but with that being said.. The longer cut time will really show the deference between each saw. Yes it won't take 7 seconds to cut the cant and have maybe one second time deference between saws but with a 20 sec cut time you could actually SEE the difference in the saws.

 

[jonsered raket]

And hell we got all day i like the theory of actually seeing a difference, and at under 200 new im sure there is piles around.its early enough we could have 2 builds! Thatd be a first.

You perhaps?

I might but they do take up a ton of room and I am not sure how many appreciate the ole mag and steel. I know I do

 

[Bill G]

There was a fella I know that didn't make the Fall GTG and he's got 4-6 running 2 man saws. He works concrete so there's no telling if he's ever going to show at a GTG or not. He's not on AS either... Maybe instead of a build off we need to have 2man saw races!

He's got a 1947 Diston KB7-AY and a Mac 940 as i recall...

Sounds good to me:msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:
