Not great by any means, only fair - unless you mod it - sorry! :greenchainsaw:
LOL Troll, you are going to make the poor guy take the 359 back for another saw. Gotta be a 361 the 3rd time.

No doubt about that!
It just seems fishy that 3 different dealers say they can't get parts. Makes me wonder why they are a dealer....
You in western NC Darl?
Yep. I live in Asheville.
+1 Great saw very under rated because the paper numbers don't look so good. But since we are talking about actually using the saw you will like it!
Have you called any of these guys?

Balsam R & P out in Waynesville is a good dealer, but the guy on the phone said that they didn't sell 'em, they only serviced them.
I disagree slightly. I liked the saw fine before it was modded. The only thing that I didn't like was that it had no tolerance for being over choked. Once I learned to start it, the saw was fun to use. After modding it's alot of fun.
Laurinburg, about 45 minutes from Amicks. There are several Dolmar dealers that surf this place. If I didn't feel like the Amick's drive, a saw or parts is a phone call away. Sorry to hear those guys have turned you off of Dolmar. Dolmar is about the only other brand I would run....

For the price its a great little firewood saw. For a guy going out and cutting 5 cords a year nothing wrong with it for your first saw. You could do alot worse. Then down the road if he wants to have something stronger. He could mod it and get a whole lot more out of it. 359 come alive when modded. IMO
Yes, but the 5100S sure is a better option, and it should be pretty easy to get parts from some of the sponsors here, if the local dealer isn't up to it (or don't exist).
You mean like that $1600 NOS 084 you have?
I agree with ya, but I think he said he didn't want to work on the saw. So its best he has a dealer that will work on the saw for him.
