So I decided I need to break down and get a new saw. My 14" Homelite Bandit just isn't up for the job when it comes to cutting over 12" rounds. I cut mostly Red Oak up to 3-4' in the trunk and burn about 10 cord per year.
I have decided on a Dolmar but I can't decide between the PS-510 and the PS-5100S. The extra rpm and 1lb less weight of the 5100 would be nice, but is it worth the extra $100? One of the dealers I spoke with also mentioned possible top end motor issues if running the 5100 on a dull chain.
The wife is OK with either, what to do! I would like to purchase today to use tomorrow while the winter weather is still good.
