The Dynamic Duo

[Freakingstang]

I did something I have never done this weekend... I went to the woodlot with only two saws in hand.... I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Total for the weekend was just shy of 10 cords. One load on saturday, and two today. Sorry about the pics, as I only got one pic of todays loads, and it was already dark so I stopped at a lit up gas station for a half decent pic.

People can rag all they want on either of the two saws, but I really like the pair. Since I have had both of them, I find myself using the other saws less and less. Ran a 28" on the 7900 most of yesterday and the 24" today. That 5100 really screams. My buddy now wants one. He feels so sheltered after using my 55 for the last year and half.

The slab with the saws on it is one of the pieces of ash that was upwards of 38" in diameter that I would have normally gotten the 660 out, but becuase i only had the 7900, I had to make due... It powered its way through the wood, and then effortless ripped it in quarters. I plan to make a couple end tables with them after my CSM shows up. It is more of a saw that I first anticipated. Don't get me wrong, it is not a 660, but for the guy that doesn't have 1200 bucks to plop down on the king, the 7900 is right behind it for a lot less money.

Anywho, just wanted you guys to see a couple pics and give the pair of dolmars a two thumbs up after, again, another flawless outing.

Yup, this is one of the few times I used it for my wood gatherings...

My "Heavy" 1/2 ton Z71 needs brakes and has to go in for the ABS recall....Plus the differential cover need replaced..... It has a rust hole in it (from the outside in) and is leaking some oil. Hopefully everything with it will be up and running this week.


Andy, see that box on the trailer? That is my saw box. lol. It normally has the 7900 & 5100, 372xp, 660, and one or two misc saws, with all my straps, fuel and oil jugs, spare chains, normally an array of bars ranging from 20" to 36"... Looked kinda naked in there with only the two saws and a couple extra chains.... lol.

Let me guess...was it the 346xp?

WOW Doc..now you got me worried ..I was told my 5100 could handle 18" easy.. Your picture shows the only thing it can handle is a little bar.. Well I just hope mine is better then yours..

I normally run a 16" 3/8 bar on it, but I have that bar on one of my play toys at the moment so I threw the whopping 13" on there for giggles. It is kinda like a hotsaw with the 13 3/8 square chain on it. I just wish they made a 3/8 8T rim for the small spines. Thing would be wicked fast. It will handle a 20" in hardwoods no problem. I betcha Andy still wouldn't like it, though. LOL

Got any time on your pair yet?

Dolmar should be paying me for as much as I mention these saws on here.

I have a flat bed trailer kinda like yours. 7000Lb capacity. I put sides on it with 2x4 posts and some old plywood and OSB I had laying around. I made the back with a slot for 2x8 boards to drop in for a gate. It sure made life easier for hauling wood from the woods to the house. I can pull the sides off easily enough to load larger stuff, but most of the time I just pitch it over the sides or haul it up the back. I dont have to strap it down or worry about it falling off along the way. You must be using a wood boiler cause those pieces dont look like 16"! Making them all 16" take quite a bit longer to take in that many cords.

Thanks for the pics! They always make a post more interesting. Those Dolmars are pretty nice, that's for sure. And the 7900 is really a lot of saw, especially when the price and weight are factored in.

Where did you get your bar adapters?

 

[belgian]

You have some nice equipment there Doc, really is.
Those pics tell me I need to find myself badly some wood for the weekend.

Freak, I was asking myself what I would do If I had to get myself down to (2) saws. Haven't run the 7900 yet (isn't done), but wondered if the dolmars would be at the top of tmy "keep" list for #1 and #2. Dolmar should start sending you royalty checks for helping them sell saws!

A Different Approach For Getting Firewood!

Here's my way: Lots of saws and little wood! Gives me a chance to seperate the "Studs from the Duds". We filled two pickups but it's really about the saws......Bob

Umm, interesting how you balance that saw, is that a Dolmar thing?

 

[RaisedByWolves]

Dont you know a well balanced pair when you see them?:biggrinbounce2:
