Has ANYONE Broken a AV mount on a PS5100???

[PB]

Why be a trendy conformist?

Are one of those EMO kids?

I read the first post. That doesn't really answer my question. I think the first post was a ski ramp itself, lol.

:agree2:

So what's the point of this thread anyway?

broken AV mounts (btw-happens to them all.)-went off topic to brand bashing-thats where I stepped in and stirred the pot.

to Date I have had no one break a AV mount on a Dolmar PS460, PS510, or a PS5100.... And from the competition I have seen plenty of worn or broken springs, stripped plastic where the springs attach (husky) and for no real reason. Yesterday for example a Fairly New MS270 was in floppin all over the place It had one tank of gas through it since being repaired by a stihl dealer it was wearin .325 safety and a 20" stihl bar he wanted my opinion i told him to try a 16" and get rid of that stihl safety chain that cuts like crap as well? Also had a 346 in that was Looser than he!! I imagine it would need a complete set of AV mounts to even begin to make it right.... Way can't the competition make a AV system that will live????

I have never seen a broken mount on a 5100, but then again I haven't ever seen a Dolmar in the woods. :monkey:

Near as I could tell Scott was saying he has never seen a broken mount on a Dolmar in 30 years. He said to date and his sig says since 1979. I think he's pulling someones leg..

 

[cuttinscott]

You mean since 1979 you have never seen a broken mount on a Dolmar. Lets see that 30 years, man they must last forever, wouldn't be stretching it abit there would ya,LOLOL

Read Closer TOMMY I SAID TO DATE NO Broken AV Mounts on PS460. PS510 and PS5100's


I did not mean for a pissing or bashing thread my Q was why hasn't stihl and husky made a av system on their 50 cc saws that will last under normal conditions and also with 20" bar and chain load

Why would anyone run a 20" bar on a 50cc saw? Besides the point, a saw won't be carrying the load of the 20" bar only to and from the tree.

I don't think this is out of character for him at all...I've called him out on it any number of times.

Doesn't look like this thread is exactly working out the way you wanted it to, huh Scott?

Dolmar is the Toyota or Jeep of the saw world. Not as popular among the "trendy" but well built and built to last. The kind of thing that the educated saw user finds and likes to keep a secret.

Well, considering Jeep has some of the worst reliability in the industry, I don't think Dolmar has exactly hitched their wagon to a star now, have they?

Yeah you're probably right.
I did leave out johnnies because they aren't even their own brand. Polished turds-the geo trackers of the saw world. Manufactured and repackaged elsewhere kinda like inbev owns budweiser.

because a Dolmar PS5100 does handle a 20" 3/8" and for commonality of chains with the PS6400's and PS7900's

Don't the bars for the small mount take a different DL number?

Edit: nevermind.

Why can't you seem to sell saws without bad-mouthing the competition and making yourself look bad in the process?




.

I could not agree more!!!

 

[cuttinscott]

I could not agree more!!!

I am not bashing or badmouthing I Just Ask Why Husky and Stihl 50cc saw class mounts dont last??

 

[SawTroll]

I have talked to guys that for no reason the av has gone bad, and then watch them cut and the "no reason" got pretty obvious ,,,,

That is how it is, most of the time I believe - question is how much safety margin to put into the design.......
