Started burning last year and my 16" 30sicc HD Poulan isn't cutting it.
I'm looking to cut a 6-8 cord of log length + scrounges each year. I've been looking at the 50+cc range o saws that can pull a 20" chain, cut fast and be reliable.
Local Dolmar dealer only has a 510 remaining in stock, with other dealers saying they haven't been able to get them imported due to new EPA regs. Price was about $360 or so. Talked to another dealer and he recommended the Jonsered 2159 for $500 with a 20" bar on it.
I've used a Stihl 290 and 390, (and an old Partner that is, I am afraid, past repair) and was not impressed with their cutting speed.
Are either of the Dolmar or Jonsered what I should be looking at, or something else?
Thanks!
