Chainsaw Review! Logging With The Makita 7900P!

[@Angrymech]

I've been running the 64cc version of that saw for 8 years, mostly for firewood with occasional tree felling. I live in your neck of the woods, (Skagit County) so mostly fir, cedar, and other softwoods. Bought it because most considered it a pro level saw at a homeowners price. I run a 24" bar and a full comp chain, I've been very happy with the saw, just recently got a set of Westcoast dogs for it and fell my first tree with them, supper happy with the dogs and the saw!

[@Jeff-rk8hq]

Congrats on dropping your first tree man, our trees in the Midwest aren’t shit compared to out ur way but I also dropped my first couple (lil trash pines 😂but my first fells fully solo) while testing out the new dewalt top handle saw but those dolmar / Makitas are extremely reliable saws and perform very well and are in my book very nice saws I hated to see them stop production

[@mrfirewood6215]

The 7900 is hindered by the crappy muffler. If you gut the muffler it runs much better

[@jimbusmaximus4624]

Mine ran better with a pipe.

[@brianandres2865]

Yeah if you remove the cat out of the muffler it really wakes them up.

[@jonanderson4755]

Yep, came to say this. First thing I did to my Dolkita.

[@BruceMyersLBZ]

@@jonanderson4755 me 3. BIG difference!! Slotted HS jet also, but damn thing I'd set WAY rich from factory. Love it so far..

[@markboyer4397]

Haha im also in on this post both my makita ea7900 and dolmar 7310 are gutted and run way better lol

[@LongBinh70]

Years ago I needed a big saw and bought a Makita 6400. Nice, but I got a cylinder and piston, did an amateur port and polish and a muffler mod, making it a built 7900. I love that thing. I'm East coast, so all hardwood. I run a 32" full-skip and use it for bucking big stuff into firewood rounds, then noodling them to a workable size to lift onto the splitter. The Makitas are actually Dolmars, from what I understand, and Makita provides electric stuff for Dolmar. Dolmar is German, and is actually an older chainsaw company than Stihl. They lose lots of points for US marketing, though!

[@themadhattar]

You are correct they are dolmar. Home Depot rents them out. The used to be Makita blue.

[@Daspyro]

Makita Engineering Germany GmbH (Dolmar) is one of the oldest manufacturers of portable gasoline chainsaws and is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany

[@bustersmith5569]

and what make the 6400 a 7900 . ??

[@JesseLJohnson]

@@bustersmith5569 The bottom end is the same. You can put the piston and cylinder from a 79cc saw on the smaller saw. I have one of the Makita 6421 from Home Depot and if I ever have to rebuild it I am buying the 79cc piston and cylinder. They are like $250 at least that is what I paid at Home Depot for the rentals and it looked brand new 65cc pro saw can't get a better deal. There is a 70 and I think 73cc version too you can use the top ends from. The carb is even the same I believe

[@samgerber664]

I did the same from a 6400, big top end and carb and had it professionally ported….it’s soooo fun now

[@babalooga12]

On one hand it's sad to see these huge trees get cut down, on the other hand, it's soooo fun to watch. Good work Jake!

[@southernoffroader78]

These trees are tiny, obviously a tree farm.

[@benvasilinda9729]

I run all Stihl for my main saws and FarmerTec(with minor replaced OEM Stihl parts) for my back ups. If u find the weaknesses of each of the FarmerTec saws and swap them out for their brands OEM parts, they are good reliable, cheap saws for back ups. I have the G111 that I use everyday when I give my MS200t a break and also use the G666 Pro with a 36” bar for bigger stuff and my guys use the G255 for back up or extra saws for ground work. Maintenance is the key for any of ur equipment and saving a few bucks to get the jib done safely and correctly is key as well.

[@mhofmann3968]

Makita bought Dolmar and sold the saws with both Makita or Dolmar branding with different names. I think the one u got is the Dolmar PS7900 in origin. I love Dolmar saws and run them for years. My workhorse ist mit Dolmar PS6300. Unfortunatly, Dolmar/Makita announced earlier this year, that they won't produce two strokes anymore. Keep the saw, it gets better with time. Dolmars need to be worn in for a long time, but once the run properly they run! The're a bit oldschool. P.S.: afaik, Dolmar invented the Chainsaw

[@jimbusmaximus4624]

The old Dolmars are awesome! They made some really cool saws by experimenting back in the day. They had a twin cylinder and they even made a rotary engine chainsaw! Truly the pioneers of the chainsaw world.

[@kbittorf335]

Correct, Emil Lerp developed the gasoline powered saw. Andreas Stihl had made an electric powered saw one year prior to him. This required generators and power cords in the bush. Lerp named his after Mount Dolmar where it was tested.

[@MarkSmith-wu8rh]

Just made a comment about them being the same I was scared I screwed up the name dolmar is a weird name bein as how I just heard it from buckin billy ray

[@jamesstewart3785]

I totally agree a 100%. I believe dolmar makes the best chain saw ever made. And they're very hard to come by for sure. That's why when I see one I buy it.

[@theautisticarborist6846]

They are really stout saws ! But to comply with emissions have an “SLR” chamber in the exhaust also known in the saw mods world as the embryon or crackpipe 😂 don’t ask me why just what I’ve seen it referred to on the chainsaw mod forums ! You need to take the exhaust off, peel the folded seem, grind off the “slr chamber” dremel the remains off the support flange. then remove the spark arrester and while the muffler is in half grind the stock outlet port out from under the deflector to the size of the inner edge of the deflector ! Reinstall the spark screen, re fold / crimp the two muffler halves back together and retune ! Will be a completely different saw ! The mufflers on all the Makita / dolmar and echo saws are ridiculously clogged up from the factory. The ignition coils one the ea73/7900 Makita and ps73/7910 dolmars are limited to 12800rpm digitally within the ignition coil. You can’t do anything about it unless you can find an old unlimited coil (gold dust) or fit a husky 272 coil with some mods. The other thing besides porting is get rid of that high top air filter and replace it for the low top ! They actually rob power contrary to popular belief that a larger filter cover must mean more air ! It certainly gives more filtration performance but at a cost of reduced air flow and power ! Keep hold of that by the way ! Makita dolmar ceased production of all petrol / gas products in the 1st quarter of 2022 😥. Really jelly you guys can still get 372s, 390s, 395s etc in places ! They discontinued them years ago. We’ve only got the 5 series in the uk now 😔 always wanted a 372 ! We’ve got loads of used 365s in this country as they where the “farmer saws” but 372s are quite rare ! I’m also partial to a 346xp ! Also did you know dolmar made a pre production run of true 4 stroke chainsaws ! Around 50cc the dolmar ps500v

[@hammer1212]

I haven't ever heard that the humpback makes less power/ or chokes the air a bit. I have seen where guys ad a silicone bead around the gasket to filter as it tends to not seal properly. Thanks for this comment. It is spot on.

[@thexivariant8233]

I bought a 7900 as my 1st real saw because I had to chop up a 5’ diameter silver maple. The 32” bar was barely long enough…ended up buying some ripping chain from Granberg. Anyway, the saw was awesome. I don’t own any other ‘real’ saws to compare it with, but I love it! Keep up with the great videos!

[@1208bronco]

Nice chainsaw I have a 395xp with a 20 , 24 and a 32 in bar awesome

[@zytekfan]

I've got a blue 6401 that I put a mild ported 7910/ea7900 jug onto along with a port matched muffler with dual outlets and the Poleman carb mod. Really rips through the wood and sounds great. Love it so much I bought a new red ea7900 and did the same mods to it. The ea7900 I had to open the muffler and pull the SLR bit out; wasn't difficult, just tedious to heat up the crimps and pull it apart. I also swapped the coil on the ea7900 to one from a 6400/7300/7900 to get the higher limiter... 12,800 to 13,500. A modded 7900 can hold its own against a 500i and cost quite a bit less.

[@serialexperimentsdave7213]

its reassuring to see that even the pros can get there bar pinched from time to time

[@lukeruggiero1894]

It happens every now and then…. More often than we like lol

[@JakePlisskin12]

its pretty reassuring also when you get to watch them struggle to put a chain on because its a pain in the butt for me sometimes haha

[@KD0LRG]

Nobody wants to show a screw up on KZbin. Nice to see that I'm not the only one that has pinched one. I have gone to using homemade wood wedges at times.

[@joeysweet9045]

I has one of the older Makita 7901 and that was a cutting machine it would cut anything you stuck it in and never bogged down!

[@joshmullinnex5113]

I really like your journey brother! I've been in the tree business going on 23 years but if I could fall every day that's what I'd do! Nothing like tipping trees in my opinion a distant second is a perfect crane pick!

[@johnnyshell2839]

I love your climbing videos but I think logging is really suiting you. You look more relaxed and confident doing it now. Maybe Thuline and Gordy can make a west coast logger from a top tier climber. Either way I support your path forward my friend.

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Thanks man I’ve been working hard at trying to get better at it :)

[@JohnAllen-lw7xf]

The saw was a little fat on the high jet, but probably good for it being new. Good potential there for a stock saw. Might have to ask Santa for one. Great video!

[@allanwells4886]

I run an old (1983)64cc Dolmar saw for my firewood and it still cuts like a champ, every bit as good as my modern Stihl of similar capacity. I'll be very happy if the Stihl lasts as long. I'm very wary of autotune anything whether it's chainsaws, dirt bikes, toothbrushes etc.

[@ronaldhills8646]

That is my favorite saw of all time to fall with. I run a Tsumara 32 lite weight Stihl mount w the spacer.

[@dprevish100]

Interesting comments on the Makita saw. I share a similar attitude towards my smaller echo chainsaws a 400 and a 490 CS. Both of them were about 300 to 350 apiece and I use them all the time. True when I am wanting to get serious on bucking, Bigwood or falling, I break out my 462 or my 362, or if I really want to get crazy the 881 magnum, but there’s something to be said about an inexpensive chainsaw like that that just keeps working day in and day out on the job. The other thing about those two echoes is there so easy to start one pull pretty much every time! Keep up the good videos buddy, loving it.

[@jasonbelk7150]

I abused a cs-400 for years on my property before I finally bought a ms291. I still run that echo and almost bought the cs-590 instead of the stihl. It'd be cool to see some echo saws reviewed on this channel

[@log4ever1]

Dolmar builds the saws for Makita. Dolmar has been building quality saws for years and years. I have 6401 that I have been using for a long time. I was going to build it into 7900, but it is doing great as a 6401. I bought it lightly used. It was a Home Depot sale. It had a 20” bar, and I thought I bet I can go to a 24. Now it has a 32, and is doing great. BTW, Dolmar owns the oldest patent for a chainsaw. I thought that was an interesting factoid. Great video Jake!!

[@JC-ck4wk]

Hey brother, would love to see some footage of them using machines to get the wood out!

[@Pjscapes]

Love mine! Tons of power but hard to start sometimes.

[@BruceMyersLBZ]

Yep, i figgered it out. Full choke, no more than 2 pulls! Any more "choked" pulls its flooded.

[@sirrick59]

All that Makita (Dolmar) needed was a tiny inwards turn on the "High" carb adjusting screw, Probably such a slight inward turn that would be only just enough to know it had moved. She is too rich on medium-to-full throttle. That tiny adjustment would make that thing really cut.

[@sirrick59]

Actually, I should have also said - -later on in the video, it sounds like somebody has tried to lean it off a wee bit, but with the ""Low" jet instead. That made it idle too fast, but it was still too rich at revs. 48 years tuning saws - -Rick from New Zealand.

[@AnarchAngel1]

Makes me feel a little better about myself when I see that even pros get their bar pinched every once in a while 😅. Looks like a pretty nice saw though, I'd like to see more about Makitas. From what I understand they're basically Dolmars. I'm a through and through Husky guy but I'll give anything a fair shot

[@valqueenofValhalla]

Careful at 16:28 y’all almost touched tips you don’t ever want anyone to catch you touching tips in the woods

[@RileyHDD]

Whenever you see someone else get the bar pinched you immediately think, hey I'm not the only one!

[@kbittorf335]

As I understand this class Dolmar was a joint venture between Solo chainsaw and Dolmar. The Solo’s are very similar. Both made in Germany and each not producing them any longer.

[@brettbrettson69]

Those Dolmars are no joke. Even the 64cc version is a monster once you gut the muffler.

[@thurgogopro5338]

Not any more. They stopped making 2 strokes.

[@Northwoods208]

Always wanted to try a Makita or dolmar. I'm amazed nobody has mentioned keeping a lead to you yet. Generally we lay everything parallel to each other, that way it lays neat and flat, and nothing is crossed up. That's the part that makes a cutter, anybody can figure out how to make a pretty stump and put the tree on the ground, being a cutter is about making a neat strip, not one nice stump

[@awheel]

Hardwood cuts in the northeast are all about stacking tops. Fall all the tops in one or two spots. Skidder works around the edge grabbing butts 🤣

[@Northwoods208]

@@awheel in the west it's about keeping stuff stationary on steep ground so we can buck it, if you try to stack them they bounce, roll, and slide a 1/4 mile to the bottom of hell, then you have to chase it down there to make logs

[@littlejackalo5326]

They're fell where there is a clearing to fall into.

I've got a 7910 done by tree monkey and I absolutely love it. Wish it had an unlimited coil but as far as I know you have to do a good bit of mods to put a 272(I believe) coil on it. I run a 24" with an 8 tooth sprocket in hardwood and it just don't care.

[@zytekfan]

If you have the 12,800 coil, you can direct swap one from an earlier 6400/7300/7900 to get you 13,500. You do have to take the tank/handle and the flywheel off, but not a terrible job.

I hear your saw, you know like jumping when your cutting. I was Just wondering how much you file down the rakers? You could hear the saw jumping but still not heavy and the bite is awsome. Its a fine line there.

[@JesseLJohnson]

Can get some really good deals at Home Depot. I got one of the rental 6421s for $250. Hard to find a pro 65cc saw for $250. It looked new and as far as I can tell you can put the 79cc piston and cylinder on that bottom end. From what I have read the bottom end even the carb is the same as the bigger saws so if I ever have to rebuild mine that is what I plan on doing. I know they have aftermarket cylinders and all so you can get I think 84cc but I would only buy the stock stuff. The Makita I have is one of my favorite saws. It seems a bit heavy though so I guess might as well get the 79cc top end might as well have more power if you are gonna carry the weight around. It starts first pull pretty much every time even if its sat for months

[@zytekfan]

If you want to upgrade it, make sure to get the OEM jug kit. The aftermarket 84cc ones have terrible plating and small transfer ports. The 7910/ea7900 jug is really easy to do a mild port job on if you're handy with a carbide burr.

[@happycamper6352]

You sir have a good saw. Now that people know it's good, see if someone will take it for what it's worth. Then go out and get a great saw. The great saw will make you a bit less tired at the end of the day due to less weight and possibly faster cuts. Not only is the power head lighter, but then you also have the ES Light bar (which has proven to be the lightest and yet still very durable and reliable). The bar is further away from your center of mass compared to the power head where weight differences really change the torque working against you, and that is a big difference when it comes to fatigue if you ask me. If I wanted to carry more, that extra weight could go towards extra water or sports drink to pack in. Finally, the suspension is better on the 500i, and that means a lot for physical fatigue too. Some say it's too floppy. I got used to it quickly and prefer it, even after trying a popular aftermarket suspension kit. I sold the kit and went back to stock. Then there's mental fatigue. Back in the day I often was thinking about tweaking that carburetor and getting it just-so, not knowing if I had it optimized or not. Other times I was unloading all the foul language I had ever learned when searching for dropped non-captive nuts. Then I hated the awkward tensioning screw position on the muffler side of the bar and also didn't like having to keep a small grease pump for the front sprocket. Some of that stuff isn't a problem with the Makita, but some is, and I avoid saws that take the wind out of my sails like that. I'm quite a bit older than people I cut with and maybe notice this stuff more because of my age. If you can find a way to afford it, I'd say buy the best that exists, because some things are worth more than money such as reducing stressors. If you can't afford it, use what you have and find it a new home when you have the money to upgrade. Some workers spend more waking hours with their gear than with anything or anyone else, so it can be important. By the way, great video as always. It takes enormous amounts of endurance, problem solving, and safety awareness to do production cutting, and it appears you did it well. With the well-diversified skill set you have built, I find it hard to believe you'll ever have trouble finding work, and having that stability is worth more than even this absurdly long comment could ever say.

If your make a living cutting wouldn't buy....occasional use...firewooder okay I guess.. Shoe in SW Oregon.

In the intake compartment of the Makita there is a reversible baffle for low temperature use that lets warm air from the cylinder fins into the air box . The user manual says - "At temperatures above + 5°C the carburetor must NOT be fed heated air. Failure to follow these instructions can lead to damage to the cylinder and piston!" So that is something to think of if you start off on a freezing morning and the day warms up as you're cutting , don't forget . Nice looking saw , I like it .

A muffler mod really wakes that saw up

Sucks to see such old trees get cut. I bet that was amazing hunting land.
