I got a box today...
From Cottle Lane
Inside the box was my early Christmas present from ME to ME (see how that worked?)
I had wanted a 5105 for a long time but procrastinated so long I figured I had completely missed out on a real
Dolmar PS-5105
Until the Primate Porter got on the trail and dug up a NIB 5105 for my very own
Came with the extra outboard dog so thats a plus
Smells like banana oil...
This threw me; full chisel but with the "puppy ear" safety bumpers
I expected semi chisel with double hump bumpers or something
My neighbor heard me fire it up and wandered over
"That's a nice long "blade" on that saw"
It's a 20" and I have an 18" Total bar and some Archer and Oregon full chisel and semi chisel chains in Alaska that I will mail over before we come back in December along with sharpening gear etc
I have to say it pulled the 20" with no sweat but I think 18" will be better for balance and overall performance
I filled it with 32:1 Yamalube 2R and NAPA bar oil (all I could get on short notice) and headed out to my leach field to take down 3 Kiawe (Peruvian Mesquite) trees that came up last year and had gone absolutely nuts
