Dull chain?? Is it me or did that seem to take a while to cut that log? What size chainsaw is that? I just bought a 5100s with 18" bar and it makes that saw look like its not turning at all.

Does anyone know what the 420 weighs? Just curious.

Dolmar, German web site 10.36 lbs for only 2.68 hp,
they need to put it on the 7900 diet.

There has been different weight specs floating around on this saw. The other weights listed may have a cat and/or a different chain tensioner???

[Hoosier]

Everything is nicer except for the weight. It has more power & torque than the 401.

 

[Wet1]

By comparison, what does/did the 401 sell for?



While I'm thinking about it, what do you guys get for the 5100?

Sorry to say, those numbers doesn't add up - 2.0kw is more like 2.7hp than 2.9bhp.

KWF/DLG test report shows 2.7hp and 4.7kg (about 10.3 lbs).

I see it as a higher quality alternative to the MS230 and Husky 340, but not much past that.

The PS350 & PS420 are PRO QUALITY SAW with magnesium crankcases and a bolt on cylinder. No plastic engine case or crankcase it is a full feature saw nothing wrong with its quality. EVERYONE that has run or bought the PS420 has been very impressed....

I dont know that any of my customers that come in carrying a kwf? or dlg? report????????? They are all looking for a quality easy to start and operate saw for a reasonable price!
