    ...and a quick bar change to a 30" German made Carlton bar.
    This one has had a bit of work with the clearcoat stripped, (it melted during some cross cutting ) the oil holes chamfered and angled and the rails blended into the nose better.
    Bloody good bit of steel though.
    Both bars are currently wearing Windsor chain. I mainly use Carlton and Windsor, but have a few loops of Stihl and Oregon.



    This ones going to get a little work soon too Andy when I get a chance.
    Lets just say it could embarrass the odd stock 660
    Oh, and some new spikes, the bottom spike is the wrong angle sometimes when felling, just not long enough/deep enough to pivot properly in the cut on larger trees.

    Buy the saw that suits your needs.
    If your gunna use it heaps on bigger wood, buy a good quality medium/large saw.
    If your gunna limb a few small trees and gather a bit of wood 4 the camp fire, you dont need a monster.
    Cheers Dean.

    Nothing like having a MONSTER to cut the wood for the camp fire.
    You dont need to travel far from camp to cut up all the wood the Boys with their Toys cant handle

    Andy, dont encourage the inexperienced to buy a MONSTER.
    I know that any saw can kick, but when a MONSTER kicks

    what model is the dolmar? if its the same as Rick130's you should look at putting a 7900 top end on it....then youll leave that 066 behind...
