Solo 636

[Marcl]

Does anyone have any experience with the above saw or Solo in general. Don't seem to hear much about Solo but they are made in Germany which is a good start.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Marc.

Haven't used a Solo saw for years. Used to use one, was about 45cc, and a semi-pro saw. Frankly it was a bit of a dog, under-power and unreliable, but it was what I was supplied with at the time. Got my hands on a Jonsered as soon as I could.

 

Perhaps a bit unfair to judge a small semi-pro saw in a professional environment, but I don't have good memories of them.

 

What is its intended use? Once a month for cutting logs it might be a lot better than 5 days a week felling and processing trees.

Just fire wood really, but I want it to last and perform. Don't want one if they are a POS.

 

Thanks,

The McCulloch is a half price Husky 445

 

can't go wrong with echo but if you can stretch to the

 

Echo CS420ES Petrol Chainsaw

 

Pro end bottom end and pot / piston; well regarded in the US where they port the 420 and 450 a LOT!

[Marcl]

Guess I could stretch to that. Another £60. Nice looking machine.

hello marc as T.D.C said i can vouch for the mcCulloch cs450 elite 100% its a good little saw it starts well and cuts well very economical a good buy

its basicly a husky 445e the solo chainsaw i have had 651 proffi and it was a very good strong saw only reason i sold it was the dolmar PS 5105 came along

a smaller dolmar is another choice made in germany
