5100s

18" bar, 3/8 Total square chisel chain. Ash round bucked to 16" for my wood stove. Probaby 20"d. ? I'm real happy with this saw. It's been a great tool.

Some more work today out in the cold with the frozen oak.

I let the 141 play in some short rounds just for the heck of it. It did okay, but I think I need to touch up that chain with the files...

The 372 on the other hand had a loop fresh out of the grinder. Oh, momma, sharp chain makes anyone a hero. May have to move getting a grinder up on the list.

Here is a vid for wildman!

I am showing it because I find it interesting that cutting through the same wood with the same chain it is possible to get different types of noodles. You see nice noodles at the beginning and at the end of the cut. In the extremely hard middle the noodles were much shorter.

We heat with wood as a way of saving $$$ and making a little on the side.

Just can't see putting up $1500 for a splitter when what can't be easily maul split can be halved easily with a used $50 041.

Maybe when I'm pushing 60 in 20 years, I'll be singing a different tune. Until then, the guy on the right in this vid's got it right. (Doubt though that even the most die-hard noodler here could abide the noodle love of the guy on the left )

Afraid not. It is a Dolmar 5001 in Makita blue. It is a slightly different saw with the main diference a rev limiter I believe at 13500 and a few other minor diferences. There have been a few threads about the diferences but I have never seen a coprehensive comparison just many assumptions. I purchased the 5001 model with a decomp valve(5000 is without) because I always thought that maybe one day my girlfriend might need to use it. As it turned out I hurt my shoulder and without the decomp I would have never been able to start it. That lasted for about 3 mounths. I am now a firm believer in the decomp valve although it has bad rep here.
I'll have to check to see if I have another vid for ya.

Found an old video for ya! A little exotic saw not available in the US. A Solo 644(45cc/3.5hp, I assume that saw troll will come by soon and explain that the published numbers by solo are totally exagerated ), probably approx. equivilant to a Stihl 260(not moded!).
