Are modded saws louder than stock?.
Yes.
Are modded saws louder than stock?.
When I logged, we got a bunch of 7900's. They were awesome. But rattled apart constantly. They got tossed within 6 months. That's my only evidence. Personal experience.
You never have and never do see a Dolmar in the woods here.
They simply don't hold up.
Are modded saws louder than stock? I was around a modded 372 and it was retarded loud and the cutting speed wasn't jaw dropping. Then again it wasn't modded by a pro.
It's wise that while discussing saws and their ability to last, we remember that logging and tree work are two very different lives for a chainsaw. Most eastern loggers get 1 year out of a brand new stihl or husky. Anything longer is a gift.
The Dolmars are strong runners in stock form, and just plain badass once ported. A muffler mod on a stock saw doesn't really do much for a 7900, though.So Magnus if I bought the 7910 what would you suggest I do to it out of the box? Replace muffler and port it?
The worst beat up saws is from the beech loggers. If you get them to value the advice they get they last longer though.
One guy I taught by giving him free service if there was no repairs on buffers and covers.
He is one of my best runners now. I give him saws that need run time and evaluations etc. He has a good ear for both engines and advice's.
