So what do you think of your new 5100S?
Frank said you picked it up the other day.

He musta sold one to somebody else. I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have a tractor torn down for an engine overhaul that is sucking money out of my pocket faster than I can put it in. Looks like I may have to wait a little longer. Are you any happier with yours? Maybe I should hold out for a 7900 instead?

7900 vs 5100
Two total different saw classes.. One is considerably heavier and much stronger..so all depends on what your purchase is aimed at.

Yeah, I know they're apples & oranges, but I already have a couple of 40-50cc saws and was looking to update to the latest & greatest. My only "big" saws are old (Mac S44A) and Rare (BP-1). They don't see more than 10-15 hrs of use per year combined, but it's still a pain to tote a 25 lb saw around (S44A). The BP-1 w/ 24" bar is a decent saw to use, but I feel like I'm using a GT-40 to haul groceries. I guess I'm just another victim of 5100 mania...

I'm about 120 or so miles north of Natural Bridge. Been a while since I was down that way, but it's pretty country.

Yeah actually I'm pretty happy with it.Just a totaly different feel then the saws I'm used to.
Muffler mod and richened her up a little,better chain and 12 tanks of fuel has made a big difference.Too much hype I think.
The offer to come by still stands just give a call.
Given the 2 horses your cuttin' with I think either Dolmar would be nice.
I spent way too many years cuttin' with old heavy saws,then I got my Jonsered 49sp and found out what anti-vibe was.Now the addiction
RB when you go by Natural Chimneys check out the Safari Park.
It's a drive through that is great.It'll take about 2-3 hours to complete.
My wife and kids love it.
P.S. I will have a 7900 in about 3-4 weeks!
