I have a Makita 6400 that I bought new back in ‘08. Never started it up as a 64cc saw, threw the OEM 79cc top end on, bought the full wrap bar as soon as it was available in the US, put the HD air filter on it as soon as that was available in the US, and finally put the western dogs on it last year. That saw cuts real well. I usually have it set up with the 20” bar it came with, I don’t have any other Husky mount bars, and my Stihls are often wearing the 25-32” bars already. I run a 9 pin sprocket with that setup, plenty of chain speed. Usually just use it as a firewood saw in smaller wood, or my wife likes running it too. It has done a lot of time with a 32” bar on it, and it pulls that plenty well.
I bought a Dolmar 5100 back in ‘06. Punched an extra hole in the muffler and unlimited the carb, and it has cut some wood since. Thing pulls like a champ with the 18” bar and 3/8 full comp full chisel.
Makita’s cordless saws are great as well - in their intended use. My wife has an XCU06 top handle and an XCU03 rear handle. I love using the top handle when climbing for limbing up firs and pines when the branches are smaller. I topped and chunked a smaller ponderosa down with it last summer. No run time on the rear handle saw yet, just showed up this week. In my experience with cordless saws, you have to manage expectations a bit and let the chainspeed stay up. Reminds me of running a saw builder friend’s piped 026 back in the day. Cut pretty slow if you pushed on it like it was an 044, but if you kept your hands light, it’d rip through an 8” log way faster than an 044.
I bought my mom a Makita DCS401 several years ago. That thing is phenomenal for a small saw. Magnesium case, adjustable oiler, compression release. It weighs about what a Stihl 170 weighs, but puts out the power of a Stihl 230, with 5ccs less displacement. My mom didn’t put it to much use, but my sister has it now and it sees a lot of work alongside her 044 for firewood cutting.
Long story short, even though I’m a born and bred Stihl guy, I like the Dolmars/Makitas pretty well. Never have regretted buying one.
