Dolmar ps420 sighting.....

[04ultra]

Crankcase? No, it's aluminum.

How is the 420 going to compare to the 460??

Weight? Power? I haven't run either of them:blush: Feels a good deal lighter when you pick them both up.

Well I just made some cuts with a PS420 wearing a 15" Microlite bar and 95VB chain..... Had great power for a 42cc and the CAT is still in it!!!! I would say it has great torque reminds me of the Dolmar 109 from yesteryear....

Out of the box the PS420 kicks the PS401's a@@ although the PS401 is lighter just less power and more finicky..

I can see a bright future for the ALL NEW COMPACT CLASS of saws from Dolmar PS350 & PS420 will be a huge hit..

The sprocket for the .325" setup came from the bin of takeoffs from the PS460, PS510 conversions. So In reality the PS5100 sprocket with a floating rim can be installed for a variety of drive options.

Great info....Thanks, Kyle & Scott!....

I ran the new 420 today, revs up quick. Starts too easy.
I am not a fan of primer bulbs but i may have to make an exception.
My dealer has them for 289 with a 16 inch, Same price as the 460.

Does the 460 have a plastic case?

Primer bulbs are a good thing on small saws, but not really needed......
