ms193t vs. Dolmar 3410

[miller755]

Hello,
I currently have an ms193t (muff. modded) and although my need for a top handle saw is infrequent, it is helpful to have. I have never been impressed by the build quality of the 193t, but cannot complain about the performance much, except it doesn't oil for ****. It seems to be a fairly low hour saw( i bought it used). About 1 hr away a dolmar 3410 has come up for sale($200), my question is what does everyone think about the 3410? I am thinking by the specs it is more power for less weight. I should be able to sell the stihl for more than 200 on ebay or on here. Seems like a win to me, what do you guys think?
Thanks, Justin

Sorry I should have asked what is the best two stroke oil and at what ratio to mix at. Also can I just use astroglide for bar lube?

Just Kidding!!!

No really though, does anyone have an opinion on the dolmar 3410th?

I have no personal experience with the dolmar, but the 193t has been a decent saw for me.
dolmar builds solid machines, assuming it's taken care of.

Yeah, looks like it was not super popular, going to look at it tomorrow, already got him down to 175.
