Dolmar 5100S on the way

Mikey von · Sep 22, 2006

Well, I ponied up the dough and ordered my first saw. I have a dolmar 5100s and all necessary PPE on the way from an unspecified dealer (they asked to be unspecified). I got a price that was very close to what I listed in my first post. I look forward to trying it out and not have to worry about break a saw that I do not own. Now I just need a trailer!!!

I actually do own a saw, a Stilh 066 (not positive) that was ran over by my buddies truck. That is a project I will start when I actually have a few hours to do something besides work, get firewood, build a house, get my new computer working right, keep the 20+ yera old truck running, be a good husband, and raise my boy.

I am sure I will have a ton of questions coming up. This is a great site and I look forward to spending some time on here.

Congratulations Mike. You made a good choice. What chain and bar length did you order? Have you picked out your next saw yet? I would say a 7900 would do nicely. :cheers:

Take care

Good on you for acquiring the PPE. It appears that you have a full plate of life and it would suck if you removed a chunk of yourself for lack of PPE.

Oh yeah, Keep us updated on how you like the 5100s.

congrats, everyone says they are a nice saw.

on the 5100s.

Only problem I see is it's gonna be tough to justify a 60cc saw now...no 361 in your future :cry:

...those 5100's seem to cover a LOT of cutting for thier size.

Might be hard to justify the 361, but the 7900 would be good next step. :hmm3grin2orange:

I just got my 5100 and have not had time to really run it, hopefully this weekend. Welcome to the club. :cheers:

Hope you get to try it out soon.
