What, you don't have the marbles to pull full?

If the saw i put that on would pull full it would REALLY make me smile!:msp_flapper:

Oh yes I too have seen the light!! 511AX:msp_thumbup:

I have an NT for me for doing gullets and rakers, I'd like to get a 511 or something with an auto clamp and little better accuracy.

I think we were already planing on that trade
Mine doesn't have a bar but I might get a 16-18in total super bar for it. Was thinking a 16in 3/8 TSB might match chains with my 16in 3/8 ms260. What bar runs best on these? Also, how do these 520/540 50cc saws run in compairison to a 260/026? Only reason I ask is b/c I have the most time on my 026/260. Acres doesn't have any info to compair.

Dolmar ps540
10.4lbs no B&C
max rpm 12,500
3.3 cu in (54.1cc)
2.2 kW (2.95 HP)

Dolmar 5100s
11.2lbs no B&C
max RPM 14,500
3.0cu in (49.9cc)
3.8kW (3.75 HP)

MS260
10.4 lbs
max rpm 14,000? (after muff mod)
50.2cc
3.2kW (3.2 HP)


Also maybe you know hedgerow... I see dcs520 and dcs540??? I was thinking the Makita was dsc520 and the Dolmar was ps540? right or wrong?

If anyone has a TSB for the dolmar 520/540 please let me know! I have a 20in D024 TSB I could trade ya! Just fyi these are the same as husky mounts 345,346,350 etc...

I believe you are correct on those #'s... And yes, small mount husky bars fit em'...

Trades..

I've got a brand spanking new splitter I just built that I would trade for a miller 252.. Kinda outa the bar park talking about saws but hey I figured I would throw it out there. I would like to bring the splitter so people can let me know what they think and suggestions for the next one.. Any objections to that? Will also be bringing my Poulan 655bp that I am considering parting with...

I wouldn't trade my Makita 540 for a truck load of 026's!!!
The 026 might be a little faster in 2-3 inch stuff but the 540 will pull a lot stronger in the bigger wood.



Wrong,
Dolmar had the 540. Makita had both the 520 and 540.
I did a muff mod on my 540 and it was within a tick of my stock 5100.
The 540 is a little heavier than the 026 but you can use a regular piece of $2.00 Tygon for the fuel line!!!!!

I'm not about to part with my ms260pro just yet but I figure I can trade hedgrow a red one for a blue one and then we'll have complete red and blue family's of 3! LOL... If I like the 540/520 good enough I'll probably ditch all others and go all blue!

Oh, you'll like the 520... I beat that thing like a rented mule this weekend...
It liked it...

Not yet, but I did go shopping for van parts tomorrow we will be putting on belts shocks some front bushings. :Rock: maybe after all that I'll work on a saw.

 

[mweba]

What bar/chain are we running for the build off?



I'm gonna bring strawberry rhubard jam and bread. Anything else?

 

[mweba]

Just good enough to come in second to last...dunno...work saw will be there right? :jester:

Now that's funny but I'm not in the build off this time so someone else will have to take last place. You want me to run Matt's saw so it will come in last? I'm not real lucky on the racing.

I need to rustle up 2 square ground dandy's for timberfest the 13th... 72dl's I could just file one, but the square will shave a fraction off the times...

well got one truck moved and one loaded ready to head for the scrapper! Also got 10 logs kinda set up. I'm not to experianced at setting the logs up but I'm sure we'll get things squared away on friday if need be. For all the young bucks out there you might have to walk in your saws a little ways... For the guys with trucks you may have to park on un-even ground... Terrible thought I know! LOL! We'll squeeze everyone in some where!!!! Gotta clear limbs and mow tomorrow followed by log cleaning wednesday, cleaning garage on thurs and then final prep on friday!

Think I might call in with CAD sickness on Friday!

Well see what I have left but I might be able to spin you up a couple of loops of stihl RSLK. Fastest cutting fresh off the roll chain I've ever run.

Why file when you can grind? I'll bring my Silvey RSII.

That would be great, I appreciate it!
