    Glad to hear that your son is fine. Thankfully God makes em tougher than woodpecker lips for all that they can get themselves into.

    Now its Dad's turn to have some fun with his new saw. I'm sure you will have years of fun with the 359 and when you and your son are using it together many years from now you can tell him how he intruded on your first day with the new toy.

    Best of luck.

    That's just it, I would bet they have more margin on a Stihl or a Husky and they are using scare tactics to sell the other makes.

    It's all good in the end if you have something that you are happy with

    No doubt about that!

    It just seems fishy that 3 different dealers say they can't get parts. Makes me wonder why they are a dealer....

    LOL Troll, you are going to make the poor guy take the 359 back for another saw. Gotta be a 361 the 3rd time.

    I'd say highly overrated, because it responds well to mods (that most real people don't do).

    Compared to the 5100, it weights a lot more (more than the specs tell you), has an outboard clutch, lesser quality cylinder, and hardly more power for the extra weight, not even low end torque.......

    I certainly don't want a 359, but the 5100 is great!

    Yep. I called them all and visited two this time around. Mountain Variety is the guy that ordered the 5100 for me, still no word in over a month, and I've called out there probably five times.

    The Hendersonville place doesn't sell, only rents.

    Blue Ridge Hardware is where I bought, they said they were dropping the line and that the demo saw was the last they'd get.

    Balsam R & P out in Waynesville is a good dealer, but the guy on the phone said that they didn't sell 'em, they only serviced them.

    I didn't call the Brevard place as I assumed they'd be rent-only like the H'ville place.

    Where are you in NC?

    Laurinburg, about 45 minutes from Amicks. There are several Dolmar dealers that surf this place. If I didn't feel like the Amick's drive, a saw or parts is a phone call away. Sorry to hear those guys have turned you off of Dolmar. Dolmar is about the only other brand I would run....

    Sounds like the regional sales rep for that area needs to be replaced!! If he was working for a commission I'm sure there would be allot better coverage in that area.

    To bad, and in the end it's the customer that is on short end of the stick

    I disagree slightly. I liked the saw fine before it was modded. The only thing that I didn't like was that it had no tolerance for being over choked. Once I learned to start it, the saw was fun to use. After modding it's alot of fun.
