Help me decide - new 346XP or PS5100?

[woodshed]

Niko why do you say that?? Because the husky heads are not winning?

Scott

Gotta love a "major dealer" for a little known and poorly represented third wheel chainsaw manufacturer slagging Husqvarna, one of the titans of the industry, pretty pathetic if you ask me. Makes me wanna never buy a Dolmar product, regardless of their poor quality and poorer support. :monkey: There is a reason the age old question is "Stihl or Husky?", Dolmar clearly doesn't belong in the conversation.

That is the best YOU GOT???? that does not show the 10 second rim swap or explain the cheesey chain brake??


Scott

To tell the truth the 346 new or old is not very well represented in my area!!

 

[woodshed]

Keep talking there bud, I'm sure you'e gaining clientel with every little witty comment. You do realize that there is nothing to popping the clutch off of a smll Husky right? I don't have the need I just put a new 3/8 rim on my saw less than 12 tanks ago, so sorry, no video any time soon.

Now!!! You aren't going to sell any more Fords or Chryslers talking like that either

 

[woodshed]

We aren't going to sell any more Chrysler's period. We now represent the sole independent, non government supplemented Amercian auto maker left, Ford Motor Company. I don't have to put down the competition's product to sell vehicles, they pretty much destroyed their own reputations without any help.

I'm pretty sure that 3/8" is an option on the Husky.....

Why of coarse. I can handle a loss or two Wouldn't be the first time:greenchainsaw:

DolmarUSAs 5100S power specs

....
Power rating 2.8 kW (3.9 bhp)
...

I would like to see the maths that make that add up..... :greenchainsaw:

.... mine tell me that 2.849 kW = 3.818 bhp.....

It is annoying that they publish numbers that obviously doesn't add up.

New math perhaps? You're really missing the point, it's all about the torque for bucking, the main concern for 50cc high speed limbing saws...

It is obvious that Dolmar acknowledged there mistake on the new model 5105. And we are not going to recalculate the numbers on all other brands.

Now interesting is going to be the new model 5105 that has the improved air filtration&cooling compare to the new model 346xp.

He did say it took 10 seconds longer, not the he could do it in 10 seconds. Makes no differance though, he's still talking out his back side bigtime about that. Why if that we're really the case he would have to be able to change that rim in a whopping 1 minute 55 seconds, how do I know, you'll see,LOL

 

[Fastcast]

This is going way off topic - as these threads usually do! :greenchainsaw:

Off topic how?.....As in you starting to again! LOL ......How is my post off topic? What's off topic is a car salesman telling the OP how easy it is to detach his new 346 from a tree about to fall on his head, with a hammer and chisel.

You're really missing the point, it's all about the torque for bucking, the main concern for 50cc high speed limbing saws...

Scott

:stupid: Yes that is exactly what it's about, when the OP says it will be his main firewood saw.....Not limbing saw.

 

[gink595]

I feel a video coming up, now to be far you're going to have to time a rim swap on the Dolmar also
