Dolmar 5100

Yea, I completely forgot to put that in my post. The power difference comes from a different cylinder and piston. You can swap the cyinder and piston assemblies between the two models. They both use the same crankshaft

Gives new meaning to "hot saw".

As much as I love Dolmar, I wouldn't buy one if it were my only saw and depended on it day in/day out to put bread on the table. (I don't doubt they're reliability but parts ordering could take longer then Stihl if you have to deal with their small base of B&M dealers.)

Dave, Dolmar is making great strides in setting up dealers all over the country.
They just set up a new distributor in OR to help service the Northwest. Parts can be shipped just as quickly as any Stihl or Husky dealer can get them.

Just my opinion, but if you're making a living with the saw, have a backup!
