    So I got myself a 5105 from fordf150 for Christmas and decided I needed to do a quick test cut. These are some storm damaged trees from around my pond and creek banks. Little red oak, little dogwood and a little chestnut. Saw cut great. I only had about 20 minutes to "test", but there are a number of tree's in the same area that I will be "testing" on in the near future. Here is a pic.... because we all like pic's... 20161224_125718_resized.jpg

    I do like the saw. Not much of a true test today, as the largest of that little pile is about 14", but I'm fairly sure my 024s/026 will be completely retired now.

    Congrats. I had one of those. Much better for bucking than the 346/550.

    I believe you'll be liking that saw! I got a 5105 several yrs ago and am very pleased with it. I think its the strongest stock 50cc saw that I have ever operated.
