    Hello everyone,
    Anyone on here use Solo chainsaws for work, or even play? I see a distributer in Kildare, but they are almost unheard off up this end of the country. I have read that the company almost always wins the tender for Germany's municipal and military contracts.

    According to this site they make a good quality saw, if spares are easy to come by, not a bad option.

    The site I reference is excellent for such info

    My father has a solo with a 18" bar he bought four years ago at least .
    It has cut the world of timber for both of us and never let us down yet , I find it nice enough to use over a few hours and its not overly thirsty on juce
    Did you get a price on them ?

    Hi Moy83,
    Didn't get a price on a new one, reason I ask is I bought an old one at a car boot sale last Sunday. Big heavy saw from the early 70's I think. Had never heard of them, and there was no markings on it, I thought it was a stihl! I got it to run, but the carb settings are all awry. And the guy selling it had filled the chain oil tank with petrol to try and start it............

    It seems to be a Solo 620AV. Beautifullt engineered, it must be true that Germans have a special Engineering Chromosone!
