How much is a pound and half?

[166]

That makes sense - is one of the changes the use of alu instead of magnesium in the crank-case in the lastest 115s?

The 109, 110, 111, 115, PS540 all had magnesium cases. The weight difference was mainly in the chain brake design.

That is great info! Can you evaluate the 540 for me compared to your other 50 cc saws? Do you still use it much, or do you usually turn to the 5100?

Thanks

The PS540 is a good saw we've sold a pile of them over the last few years before the new series came out. But I find myself taking a PS5100S with a 20" 3/8 B&C out to the log pile over a 7900 most of the time.

Where can I get a 5100 to my door? Wow!

I live in Northwest IN...Porter county. The Dolmar dealer is very small, and I would be suprised if he has sold 5 saws the past year. If I can get one for 375....then Dolmar is really hoseing this dealer, or the dealer is trying to hose me. I would like to help the dealer as they seem like great guys but to save like 20 percent is pretty substancial. What kind of pricing can I get a 7900 to my door?

I work a tree the same as you. After the take down I limb it up and get it all away from the trunk. From the weights that were posted earlier the 1.5 pounds increases quite a bit with bar and such making it a bigger descrepency.

Also from what I read the DN540 is pretty impressive. Any info on that saw would be helpful as well.

Thanks

Go see your local dealer you should be able to get a 5100s for about $400. We set up all of our 5100's with 3/8" 16", 18", or 20" bar & Chain.

The dealer will only go $429 plus tax and that is if I am willing to wait several weeks. He can get it in a day for $439.

Pricing on the saws went up some back in may. Also the more saws you buy the better pricing you get. The dealer is not getting rich off you at that price if they are only buying a few saws at a time.
