I will be heating with wood ~75% - burning 3-4 cord per year with less than half of that delivered cut and split. I will be scrounging about 2+ cord per year from falls, neighbors, friends and roadside stuff. (and I live across the street from a golf course...)

So, this saw will not be used very heavily. I have been living for the last 6 or 7 years with an old MucLuc Eager Beaver that just burned out its coil. I am looking forward to running a nice saw. I've used my buddy's Husky and my brother's Stihl and, well, I can see why CAD exists... but I won't have a problem with that, really!

Sounds like a dolmar 5100 is perfect with an 18" bar

I got my Dolmar 5100s for $409 with a 20" bar. So you should be able to get one with a 18" bar for just under $400.

Congrats happy birth day

You know.... I never really reacted much to childrens paintings and colorings but since I now have my own daughter for 2.5 years, i can appreciate fully what she made for you. That is precious. I hope you keep it and send it back to her at a later stage in the game. Happy Birthday! and think Shinny Red! lol

+1 Yep 18" and 3/8th pitch chain is a good firewood set up.

Nice birthday card, these are the innocent years for children, cherish them. Time moves fast the older you get, and pretty soon your cute little 6 yr old will be "all grown up".

Remember, any name brand saw will treat you right, as long as the chain is sharp.
