Why is Solo chainsaw being sold with an Oregon bar and chain according to the many reviews, especially one with a 20" bar which would be too much load

Yes, it's true the 643 IP is being sold with the Oregon parts. Not sure why this is being done, although I had not heard about the 20" bar. Whatever the case, I'd still recommend the saw. The one I bought is a real beast; it's particularly impressive in its power-to-weight and power-to-engine size ratios: it's a lot of kick in a small, light package. And which doesn't leak bar oil either! Like my Craftsman saws do. Buy it, you'll like it.

This chainsaw seams to handle very well I didn't install the 24 inch bar I'm using a 20 inch . Smaller bar more power just need to get used to the starting sequence

I looked at the Oregon site and it says this chain fits all 16" lumberjack saws..This is a 3/8" .050 chain with 55 drive links. Count the drive links on your old chain and make sure it has 55..Drive links are the teeth that stick down in the bar

Hi, contact Oregon company. They will tell you. Each saw brand has a different route the chain must travel. Some longer than others. So, just because your saw is a 14 inch saw, it might take a longer chain. I decided to purchase mine at a local shop after Oregon company explained this to me. Make the call, they were great to deal with. Hope this helps.

Barbara, if you go to the Oregon website they have a section where you put in what saw you have and it will show you what bar and chain they carry for it.

I did a little research! Found a Web site that said Electrolux is the same in chainsaws, that mtd is in lawnmowers! I bought a 450WA little over a year ago,I am very happy with it! I think in this day and age look for what you want to do with it, and in your budget, and the warranty! Base your decision on that! Shop Amazon,I did got the saw with no frt.charge or tax!

I use mine with a 24" bar and chain with a special chisel cut on an alascan mill for milling slabs, it can get bogged down if you are too agressive. I keep extra an extra chain ready to change out when needed. For the price I am very happy with the results.

If you go to the Oregon website they will match the chain with the correct chainsaw.

In my opinion, the bar and chain are the best in the market, and in my experience, they do not put an undue load on this outstanding saw. Just my opinion.

No, Assuming you have a 14" bar, the Oregon website specifies an S50 chain, this one: http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Homelite-McCulloch-Remington-S50/dp/B00004RA8D/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1398197025&sr=1-1&keywords=s50+chain Link to the Oregon website: http://www.oregonproducts.com/homeowner/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=CONS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG

Mary, I own the Model 20312 and was wondering the same thing. I do not own the pole saw you mention (perhaps model #is 20612 instead of 20672 in their list) but the links below may help. Documentation included with the 20312 saw says use OREGON chain # 90PX056X. OREGON makes most chainsaw chains and should have something to fit. I used OREGON's selector guide for the 20312 (http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=OCS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG) and got chain number 90PX056G also called 90PX Micro-Lite. This chain has all of the correct specifications for the 20312 saw - 56 drive links, 3/8" pitch, and .043" gauge. Similarly for your pole saw, (http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=OCS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG), there is a 91VG chain listed. Please double check the specifications listed with those in your manual. To finally answer your question, try using the OREGON link, "where to buy" for a store close to your location or for some online purchase options. I personally am having trouble finding the exact chain online and locally and have written an email to Oregon technical service. Only place I do find it specifically listed online is in the United Kingdom. (http://www.newsawchains.co.uk/epages/es108227.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es108227_shop/Products/90PX056E). Ahh but the shipping costs! I do find some others chains with similar specifications that may work but can not recommend their use. Pretty sure this is the one, the R56, just labeled diffrently. (http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-16-Inch-Husqvarna-Poulan-R56/dp/B000H2W40U/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1385127042&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=oregon+micro-lite). ... The S56, that fits my old poulan, that someone mentioned has the wrong gauge .050" vs .043" Another source I have used before. Price is higher but have had good success with them: http://www.m-and-d.com/OR-90PX056G.html Will post further info if it becomes available.

I'm not able to verify this at the moment, but it seems I recall reading about replacement chains for the 20312 chainsaw in the product literature that came with the chainsaw. I don't see this literature online, or I would link it for you. I describes the low kickback type of chain, and the specs. But I don't think it was specific to Greenworks chainsaws. I would guess the same is true for the 20672 polesaw, but I don't own that one.

Doesn't look like it will work - use the Oregon bar/chain selector guide: www.oregonproducts.com/homeowner/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=CONS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG

Not sure, I'm using this bar on a Homelite saw. I did however have success finding an Oregon bar for my 18" Echo saw but as I recall it required a bar that was not easily found in the big box storesAll I can say is Echo saws are supplied with Oregon chains new. Chances are the bar is from Oregon as well but you'll have to compare. Be sure the chain type is the same as what came with the saw. Keep a record of what works for the next time.

Only if the guage size is the same. My saw came with the mini guage chain. This bar is for the larger full sized guage. Check a Stihl chart for that info. I would suggest you upgrade to the larger chain for better performance. There is a YouTube video specific to this issue.

I bought my Poulan with a 22" Car from True Value Hardware in Newfoundland, PA. I'm sure they can order a larger bar if the horsepower will be enough to run it.AGWAY has Stihl Chan saws almost exculisively, but they are really expensive and come with larger bars and chains if neededJerre Holbrook

manufacturer recommends a # 3634 (26 RM3 67) OILOMATIC chain. The saw is no longer in production, but the chain is still available. the Oregon D72 20 inch will definitely not work as the model saw you have needs a 16 inch chain
