I will be the one to go out on a limb here. Check out a dolmar ps35. Yes it's a plastic home owner saw but is holding up well for my customers that cut a fair amount of wood. It's light and smooth. Easy starting.
id rather have this than any 346 or 550 (and I own Randy's very best 346/2153 he's ever done). Finger ported 254. Build quality of the 2 series saw is undeniable.
Those are nice, but larger/heavier than a 346/550. So not apples to apples.
I have a ported 357xp that looks like it might be faster.
Fair enough, but we are all different and we are all not the same age.saw weight means nothing to me. after 10 years of del, repoing, and move storage buildings and carrying 10's of thousands of concrete block.... I could limb with the 395 or 655 and be "fine as frogs hair"
that's first tank of fuel after getting a new piston and rings.and the heated handles work
How about the ms201 rear handle version. That would be really light with good power?You will not find a better saw than the MS241 in its size. If you want smaller yet, I don't really know what to recommend. I'm very partial to the best professional grade saws. I do love my little MS150, but not sure that's a good idea here.
Extremely price though. They cost me $695 with tax.How about the ms201 rear handle version. That would be really light with good power?
I agree. I might have missed read but I thought he said price wasn't an option. May have been someone else. Lol.Extremely price though. They cost me $695 with tax.
I will check them out the next time I get there.Just another vote for Dolmar 421. Had an extended hands-on this spring. It'll put a smile on your face. By all indications, it is very solidly built. Smooth and powerful, IMHO. Crazy-reasonable price- buy two.
You have a local dealer. I'd ask for a little test-drive. Can't hurt.
Got Dads spliter put together today.
