Like others have said, the dealer is VERY important. I feel the Dolmar 510 50cc saw I bought new in 2013 or 14 is the finest piece of equipment I have EVER owned- bar none! Dolmar has been owned by Makita for about 20 years now, and Makita leaves them alone to make the finest chain saw in the world. (In Germany). Last year Makita decided to ditch the Dolmar name and brand the saws Makita. Same saw, Makitas were blue in the past, but the long time Dolmar dealers rebelled at selling a blue saw, so now the Makitas are orange and black like the Dolmars of the past. They are a shorter line than Stihl or Husqvarna. That's why I just bought a new top handle Echo arborist saw. Echo's in there with the other three in my opinion as far as quality is concerned. I have been hearing some quality and hard starting issues with some Stihls lately. And Husqvarna is owned by Electrolux who also owns Poulan. Some cheaper Huskys are rebadged Poulans, so beware. I would NOT buy a saw from a big box store, patronize a small independent guy who lives and breathes the equipment he sells. He can't afford to sell problem equipment, he wouldn't last long in business. Plus he himself or his staff have to work on whatever they sell. In a big box, they send their repairs out to sometimes back alley repair places, who knows where?

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
