I'm a Stihl man myself, but would love to get my hands on a Dolmar for a try.
If you ever plan on coming to my neck of the woods, you're welcome to stop by and give one a try:thumbsup:

Im not going to say you are full or it, but that is certainly somehting I would have to see to believe. Especially a STOCK 7900 going through 20" SEASONED oak in 8 seconds.
The Dolmar is a good saw, but I've had similar results with the 346xp and a sharp chain. Not to take anything away from either saw, but the sharp chain is key.I can't say enough about this little saw. What a bad *** ! I have a 16" bar and 3/8" chain. We cut 4 cottonwoods about 3' in diameter and a big oak about the same. The Dolmar was the one that cut them all down. All my buddies saws were too dull to get the job done so I handed them the Dolmar and set back with a few beers and enjoyed the show. Thats what I like about this saw. It's not well known around here and every time somebody tries it , I get to drink their beer! I feel good. Just doing my duty for the Dolmar guys.
I'm out, but I'll post some pics tomorrow.

I am with Bluegill here. A sharp chain trumps all when it comes to getting the job done. Heck even a Poulan can outcut a big saw with a dull chain. Carry spare chains and a file. Why work yourself to death with a dull chainsaw?The Dolmar is a good saw, but I've had similar results with the 346xp and a sharp chain.
