Hey gang!
I've decided too go buy me a new saw this morning....after reading here and trying too make up my mind.....its looking like a 5100 dolmar...or a 361 stihl!
The dolmar dealer is 30 miles down the road.....I have 3 stihl dealers that are full service within 5 miles of the house...so the stihl is winning right now. I have a bandmill and we do some light logging, but mostly, I cut a lot of firewood in the 20" and down range. I'm 44 years old and my back is starting too let me know that the big saws is not the direction I want too go!!!. I've never tried out the dolmars, but they seem too be getting pretty good reviews!.
Some of the saws I've looked at were the 260's, the 310, I own huskies and like them too!....I've got a poor little special 50 husky that's been around here for over 15 years now and I couldnt count how many truckloads of firewood its cut without problems....but the carb isfinally in need of replacement and some other things going wrong so its time for a new one.
I'll try to get some pics. of my operation as I know everyone likes pics.....especially this time of year!!!!
Stay safe....wear your PPE....and dont get bit by that frozen snake under that log right there!!!.
