Fun to run but don't need a big saw. 50 & under just fine. Right now it is the 115i. It just feels so comfortable to me. Sole cutter for 15 years. Snatching a 5105 this weekend cause I want the 115 to last forever.
STUPID OIL LEAK.

I call my 5100S my 80% saw...it cuts most of my wood without complaint.

I like the light weight for cutting in the tangled mess of limbs I usually get. Its got enough power to keep going into bigger limbs and trunks...I usually don't set it down until I start burying the bar at around 16" dia.

I replaced the stock laminated bar with a Windsor solid bar of the same odd 64-link length. It seems perfectly balanced at this length.

My Frankienstien Echo 500VL... I don't know what it is about that saw. For a 50cc saw it seems to have more torque than my 026 or husky 51. It starts super easy and idles all day long. I just like the d@$n thing.
