Any thoughts on comparison of the Husky 350 and Dolmar 510. Pros and cons??? Seems as if some think very highly of the Dolmar but I have never seen one in action. I do have a new dealer close for the Dolmar.
.... It's a PRO saw, very smooth. Well balanced. 12.1 lbs and 3.2bhp is not a bad combination, plus it's got a 1 year commercial / rental warranty.
I'm all for the 5100S but the 510 is very capable even with a 20" bar for the average woodcutter. And being $80.00 less than the 5100S doesn't hurt its position on my showroom floor. ....
This isn't the first time i've heard someone say that the feel of the 510 and 5100 is very close. There is a big BIG difference between numbers on paper and having the unit in your hand.
The balance of the two is a little different due to the 510 being heavier on the nose from aluminum vs. magnesium.
The 510 and 5100 are NOT even close to being in the same performance class but I have to respectfully decline Troll's claim that the 510 isn't a PRO saw due to its horsepower and weight. Horsepower and weight are not the factors that determine a saws class as PRO or Homeowner.
A PRO saw is durable, well balanced and comfortable to operate. It should have sufficient power and torque (just because the newest toys have more power andf less weight doesn't discount the rest of the units as no longer PRO). Should have a warranty that keeps the professional in mind. It wasn't very long ago that 3.2 BHP and 12.1 lbs was VERY VERY respectable in a 3 cu in. saw. More power and less weight doesn't make change a saw from being PRO or Homeowner, it just makes it faster and worth more money.
A saw with a plastic crankcase, cheap components, poor warranty coverage for PRO use, and /or one that does not have the durability required for extended use is what determines its standing as PRO or Consumer.
Very good point, but I think you meant MS361. What is the retail going price of a 5100?Ms360 = $599 18 B&c Dolmar PS-510 = $350 18" B&c
