Opinions on a Dolmar Saw

[Hedgerow]

I've owned a 5100 and 5105. Dolmar in Alpharetta GA. offered me a chance to swap the 5100 for a 5105 at no charge. Jimmy was stupid for trading.

Hedgerow, you make a point with no words said.

If you are still on the fence about the Dolmar saws read the Dolmar thread in the stickies. It will make you want one. I would like to find an anniversary 112. That black and silver paint scheme is purdy....:msp_w00t:

.... A Ps-460 is a 46cc model and will run like a 56cc
Good luck,

That is about the moost odd statement I have ever seen here - what 56cc saw should that be??????:msp_confused:

The power to weight of the 460 is even worse than the 510, not good at all!
The positive side of those saws are that they are metal cased saws (but the heavier aluminium and not magnesium), and basically built like a pro saw.

Actually that is the Fans thread, so it is the one I would trust the least regarding their current saws..........

I'd guess a MS290. My good 50cc saws blow them away, I can see a good 45cc keeping up. Steve

+ on the PS-420. Starts and runs well. A good 16 inch bar and chain and you're off to work!

Where on earth did you get a 5100 from??

I stoled it!

My BIL, who cuts and burns @12 cord of red oak per year, has been putting his PS510 through way more than I believe it was designed for... with no problems.

:agree2: You can put me down as another fan of the PS-510. Does everything I ask of it, always starts and runs smooth, great firewood saw. If you have need for the pro-version, step up to the 5105. A bit lighter and bit more powerful. I think either would put a smile of your face. :msp_thumbsup:

Thanks for all the good advice. I'm going to look into the 5105 model.

PS510 with 18" bar here. I love it. Jus sayin

Dolmar PS-350, PS-420, PS-5105, PS-6400/7300/7900 and the now defunct 9010 are second to NONE!
The PS-510 I think, is far better than the Husq.455 or the 290 Stihl.

Their consumer grade saws are...........................................consumer grade saws.

Mike that's one reason I like Dolmar, you always get a pro saw, and you do so at a great price. My brother has a 510 and he loves it. For a guy that doesn't run more than a gallon of fuel through a saw in a year, the weight matters not, that can be said for most IMHO.

You just can't go wrong with them. As long as you have a good dealer it makes all the difference.

I like them... And I don't even have a dealer...

Now that is a great thing. I could cheer lead all day for those saws.
