solo vs sthil

[ned coed]

would appreciate your opinions on the solo range of saws compared with sthil or jonsered. i used to own a small solo 20 years ago and i was really impressed with what it could do.are they still as good?

I have a Solo 681 and really like it. I don't have near the experience as some on this site with a wide range of saws but IMO in ranks right there with the best at least comparing to my Husky's.

I'd generally rate Solo as number five on that list.......

I quit agreeing at number four on that list, but who cares......

If I had to make a list, it would start this way;

Husky
Jonsered
Stihl
Dolmar
..then probably RedMax...

For older saws (1970s or so), Partner would be number three, not Stihl - and Jonsereds number one.......


...don't shoot me, only playing games here.......:greenchainsaw:

Well I can tell you the Solo 681 will run a little ahead of the Dolamr7900 and many know the reputation of that saw. And my comparison is to my 395XP. Both saws I bought new. If I had to keep just one it would be the 681.

What are we doin' here?

 

[stevethekiwi]

echo is bad i admit... like i said the list wasnt in order.... but its not as bad as solo.


at least the echo will last longer




the last time solo was used in any forest was 1985...

in conclusion, the answer to the question of solo v stihl = STIHL

Ultra, you would pick a Echo before a Shindaiwa?

 

[wkpoor]

I know the list is boggus if 04Ultra rated an Echo above a Husky. You can't saw through a wet paper bag with an Echo!

 

[ropensaddle]

My list goes
Husky
jonsered
husky
