climbing saw / Top handle whatever

Well Ive had numerous stihl 020 sorry ms200t for you young uns . And many a 335/ 338 huskys . So now I,m up for a change and the winner is Solo 637 .

This little monkey will be with me in about 10 days . So your opinions would be grateful . Be gentle as the saws on the way Will post pics and info when its been put through its paces .

Have you a link to where you got it?

Once you have used it for a month or so, can you let me know what you think of it as I've been thinking about putting them into stock.

Jonesie Nee bother I have a german arborist friend who loves them ? More than Stihl ? He is LA though but that shouldnt make difference . Should it ?.Oh he lives near the Bohemian Forest in a town called Passau which borders the Czech Republic .

Anyway the answer to the other question is ( Abbey garden ) Just type into a search engine Solo chainsaw and check out the 637 . Its 40cc and supposed to be more powerful than the stock 020 ? . Although its a tad heavier . Oh and it comes with a free chain 14 " . Excited

What about parts thoughj, bars, sprockets,etc, i know they will be stocked somwhere but i can drive 5 miles in any direction and get to a stihl dealer, that does it for me but will still be interested in what you think.

Yeah Ive mulled this over time and time again . Ive got one ms200t and an older 020 which is much fitter and more reliable . The Solo seems to be a bit plastic regarding the covers . Most guys now clip the saws up when not in use so that will help a tad . The husky saws I,m always smashing the exhaust covers . I have it on good authority that these saws are top notch . Parts well thats to be seen . Although the company I,m buying off have assured me that spares are 24 / 48 hrs away . Stihl £ 550 Plus ? and the Solo £ 349.49 with spare chain . Stihl ms200t are know way as reliable as the old 020 . Times are changing so am I . I do love my 88 64 tho . I,m talking saws for the climber Stihl have had the monopoly for years . I,m just not happy with them or huskys top handle .

Rebranded Dolmar / Makita methinks... A lot of Solo stuff is - with discreet differences...

please do a review after a few months! not happy with my 200ts or my 338 although i like the 338 the exhaust cover and spark plug cover is usless,the 200t's have there carb issues and chocolate chainbrakes..would like to try some thing new,although some one once gave me an oleo mac saw that was bottom of there range is was far better than th 024 it replaced but was a pain getting parts! problem with saws that are not the big 2

Oleo Mac seemed to lack power ? if I,m right .
