At least they have a little angle on the top handle, seems they are starting to get it right these days

I think @brad ruch still has his 545, and a new Dolmar. We've talked a little but not about comparing the two. Maybe he'll chime in.
He told me it was a heavy one, the dolly that is
.
I personally own both right now.2016 545 little modified.and a 5105H.if want snappy high rpms and less weight then the 545.5105 is smoother and quieter but more torq and a little heavier,more bulky.

We must have posted at the same time.
I think once you get over the weight difference and get the dolmar broke in it will have a good bit more power.
We need to get the 550mk2 and do some comparisons now.
Still, for the price of a 5105 I think they are a heck of a deal, just not my preference. If I was in a different situation I would certainly take a 5105 over an ms291 or a 455.
Well my 1st saw was a Pioneer P-20 50 cc old-school screamer when I was 15 . Then I added a Pioneer 11:60 a 63 cc another old school workhorse @ 20 yrs young. They ran 16" and 20" with 404 semi chizel tooth chain . In my late 40,s I picked up a MS-360 & MS-660 combination . Have always ran two saws for my farming and wood cutting needs , 40-50 hardwood cords back in the day . I bought a Echo Timber wolf 3 yrs ago , Not bad for a offshore product , but more like 455 rancher or Stihl Farm Boss , which I sold to my brother . My current saw list is the aforementioned 2014 346 xp & 2017 576 xp. Anyhow guys , thanks again for your time and patience in this matter , probably should have posted this in Arborist 101 Sorry Moderator,s !

In case anyone wondered, Brad speaks Husqvarna...
Interesting you put the 590 into that category, simple muffler mod and they shoot high above a farm ranch saw.
I'm up for that.lol and the 5105 is definitely better built then a 291,455 for darn sure.there actually very simple design and well built.easy to work on.

My Uncle has a 465 Rancher what a torque monster clamshell brute ! Not my cup of tea @ 65 kids . My 576 xp is all I can handle these days !

I'll chime in on that tomorrow. Hitting the road nowWhat do I speak then, choose wisely my friend
I do like them

It,s down to the Dolly and the 550 xp and it's all Tim,s fault !
Brett ,
Loved the bone stock Echo as a quick fix prior to purchasing the 576 xp for firewood felling & bucking Canadian Hard Rock Maple & Oak primarily . However did not appreciate some of the Echo dealer / warranty hype , much like Stihl during their proprietary parts days Bud !

I still think the 590 is well above a rancher, but obviously it can't compete with the 572
. I get that. I'm not much into dealers at all. That being said...

New kid on the block vs old school king of the hill !

Gonna need heated handles up there. Just sayin'
That old king is the newer old king the XT, it will beat the 572 in speed and power since it's not stock, but you'll be chasing the cans as she's thirsty(but not as thirsty as a ported oe).
