I have never seen one anywhere here in the US.
I bought mine at the Stihl store when I bought my saw

New here folks , but thought I would chime in here . I just purchased a new Stihl180 chainsaw . It's a homeowner type saw . The Farmboss or biggersaw is great for performance but the FS180 is a great option although less powerful and a shorter bar .
The FS180 Stihl was $180 new and will outperform any Poulan , Craftsman etc out there . It is smaller so it uses less fuel as well.
With the smaller expense and a great performing saw you can maintain a couple of extra chains, spark plugs etc on a budget .
I have a Echo and it has been a great saw. Use it a lot and have not had any issues.

when I was still diving, we rented whatever we could get to cut our holes... Stihl and Husky were almost parallel, with the edge going to Stihl. An when You are running a 48-72 inch bar, these are the ONLY two that could handle it. I've posted pics in other threads showing 40" trees taken down an bucked up by my 16" stihl. If I would ever recomend a brand... this would be it! Mine is 20+ years old, starts on the second pull, EVERYTIME! and runs like a top no matter what punishment I throw at it!

Stihl's are great saws. I know several folks who run them and love them. I have used Huskys for years and have never had a single issue with them. A buddy of mine works for the state forestry division and he has used Huskys for years.
B.P. ; Are you guys talking about Dolmar chainsaws? If so I got a big boy out in the garage with 24" bar and the loggers chain on it. I'll see what size it is ; but I believe it runs around 1200 rpm's or so.Originally Posted by bacpacker
No BP, he's refering to a type of Jerry can, that has two parts... one for your mixed gas, and a seperate divided section for the bar oil; all in one container.. that way you can walk into the bush with the saw in one hand (case contains maintenance tools), and the jerry can in the other, and you are good for 8 hours of cutting. They are a little unwieldy when full, especially with the small tanks on a saw, but they are the cat's ass overall!

I really don't know why they are called Dolmar's, but they always have been
