Stihl/Husky guys, your both great, but today I bought a Dolmar!

[SawTroll]

sure... and that women looks so real. I'd guess she has as much plastic as a new jonny...:hmm3grin2orange:

Or at least silicone - I don't like siliconed women, I like them real......
:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[DOLMARatOs]

Unlike saws....plastic intensive ladies are MUCH more expensive. And at the same time really cheap. lol

 

[RiverRat2]

so Now we find out!!!!!!

Thats right, I finally made a descision and bought a saw to fit/meet my current and future needs.

I really wanted a very powerful saw AND be lightweight at the same time. Due to the smaller size of the trees around here, I didnt need the super-powers of the ms361, but I did want the saw to have plenty of bark to it for those occasional medium sized tree's.

Due to the weight I was willing to carry, I had set my sights on a "medium" powered 50cc saw that had plenty of power, torque, and insane rpm's. That quickly narrowed the field down to two saws; The Dolmar ps5100s, and the Husqvarna 346xp.

These two saws are very similar in many respects including weight, power, rpm's, and even price. Dolmar had some things that were a little better, and Husky did too.

What I really wanted to do is wait for the possible new Husky 346xp with the reported 50cc engine. This may or may not happen in the U.S, I don't know, but my assumption is that even if this improved 346xp does come to fruition, that it may not exceed the 5100's abilitites, but only match them.

I have used a few German-built motors and appliances before and have always been in awe of their attention to detail and quality. They truly make very high precision quality products. I have never been disappointed with them.

As a result of the overwhelming positive feedback of the 5100 on this forum, I decided to go with the Dolmar and give it a try.

Had the new Husky 346xp actually been out now it may have been a different story, but it's not and I really don't see how I could go wrong with the Dolmar based on all the reviews here.

I will be receiving it next week along with the plastic case and LGX chain/Oregon bar. I'll post a pic when I get it.

Who else owns/runs a Dolmar?, what has your experience been with them?.

All this blabbing you been doing for tha past month about all these different saws was cause you didn't have one cept a Lowly 021 Stihl saw,,,, That really was a good little saw,,,,,, that "amazed" you for what "that tiny saw can do" cut down 36" trees and such,,,, Finally bought a real saw to replace the homeowner saw Ehhhh Mr Super Hunky!!!!!!!!!:biggrinbounce2: :hmm3grin2orange: :spam:

my middle bro. bought the 5100s @ the arborist convention last november and I just aked him about it last week. and he likes it,,, says it has run well in his commercial Arbortist work and he is very hard on equipment!!!!!!

Go Cut some Wood Dude & Give us a good report !!!!!!!

Yep... and I was thinking about that 16 inch 021 cutting a 36 inch trees... maybe he put an 18 inch bar on it, but... it still won't reach the middle.. hmmm.... 36 inches.. sounds like a fishing story - the one that got away

 

[DOLMARatOs]

Well.....fishermen and chainsaw guys are still GUYS. And guys measurements are sometimes a little generous.

Déjà Vu

I browse this thread; it rings a bell,
Another thread that’s gone to h_ll,

I find it sad, but I also laugh,
Sifting wheat from among the chaff,

I know best, this is THE brand,
This topic always gets out of hand,

Then talk of plastic and silicone,
Paints the thread with a gutter tone,

Those less talented; the very lame,
Always resort to the name calling game,

But alas, I must confess my crime,
Nothing’s more off topic than my rhyme.

Wow! Put my vote in for this thread having some of the best comebacks. You guys are particularly creative today!

Haha, nope, the story is VERY true; however, if you remember from another thread, I had to use my John Deere 410 backhoe to *push* the trees over after making the guide cuts.

I'm still waiting for Osha's approval of this method, but for some unknown reason, they don't seem to return my calls!!:greenchainsaw:

 

[bcorradi]

"Hi this is "Mr Super hunky" calling with some safety questions. If you could, give me a ring back at 1-800-MrHunky"

Is anyone suprised he hasn't gotten a call back?

 

[Lakeside53]

Sap has the line tied up - all around him:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Woodie]

Nope, I let you in on a secret.


Women love a Jonsered Man.

It don't get any truer than that...

 

[Woodie]

Or at least silicone - I don't like siliconed women, I like them real......

Huh...If I can touch 'em...they're real.

 

[Woodie]

Nope, I let you in on a secret.

Isthatcuz the saw is in the shop and they stay home alot?

Now we know the truth!

Nope...just like a Jonsered saw, women love pullin' long bars...

 

[Woodie]

Well, Whopper Woodie, who told you?

Joat, have you ever had to say to a woman, "Careful Honey...it can sense fear!"?

I rest my case...

 

[joatmon]

Nope

Joat, have you ever had to say to a woman, "Careful Honey...it can sense fear!"?

I rest my case...

Oh Whopper Woodie, you wear one of those little Burger King crowns to bed? Clever.

 

[chowdozer]

I didn't know you can get a new Jonny big enough to pull a long bar. Your definition of long must be different than mine.

 

[Haywire Haywood]

Yep, but I was talking about my pet monkey.:monkey:

They consider 14" long
