most popular sized saw sold in the US

[Freakingstang]

ok, I tried to do a search, but haven't come up with much in the ways of maufacturer sales in the US.

I was trying to find what is the most common/popular sized saw across the board in America.

All I came up with was stihl #1 saw was the Ms290. A good 50cc class saw.

Anyone know what the national average (cc wise) of saws sold?

I bet a 50 ish cc saw. Because of the ole 026's etc.

How big is a Wild Thing?

If you want sheer numbers, between 40-50ccs you will proably get the most saws sold. Maybe 35-45ccs is better. 35-50, you have probably taken out 90% of the total saw market or more. Take the "homeowners" out of the market, and watch that number drop, and the 50-60cc class saws take over. In the vast majority of the country, you can do almost everything with a saw in that class. I did before I started milling.

As a guess, I would say the wildthing or a Poulan Pro, would be the best selling saw. Due to WalMart and the box stores. I would say 45-55cc, just like Cut says.

Wild things are 40cc and 42cc.

Thank you. that's what I am trying to get at. Some members here think homeowners need 80+cc saws for firewood. I would be scared to see every homeowner that has a wild thing or wood shark get a 372, 7900, 460 etc.

Sure is making the 346xp, 260, and 5100 look really good at this point, eh?

HUH!!! I tought they were 45, and the bigger one was 50, what size is the large one that just came out? Sorry Doc, curious here, don't mean to hijack this thread.

The yellow pro saws were 38cc,40cc,42cc,45cc, and 46 cc. Never seen a NEW green one over 42cc. The 330 is 54cc and the only good poulan saw being sold still. This comes from a poulan saw person. I have a green 60cc poulan badboy, thats is a great stock saw for the homeowner like me. It will walk all over the stihl homeowner versions in that size. Bring them on, it will out cut them , live with it and that is with a scored cylinder and piston. LOL

They are darned popular saws, that's for sure. A heck of a step up from the WildThings, WoodSharks, and Craftsman 28cc/20" combos that are incredibly popular.

Poulan Bad Boy and the Super 380 went away a couple years ago, 330 Poulan Pro and the 3450? Poulan is pretty well gone from dealers/stores also. 295 is the biggest available new through normal channels now as far as I know.
Most popular saw size around here is 50 to 55cc

 

[Cut4fun]

Marco, 330's still here for $279 with 22" b+c at the store in town, no more 295's though. Some new looking thing 4620 with quick tool less adjust and real cheap plastic feel.

Naw, small town and have been there everytime I go there for last few years in boxes and 1 on display.

 

[Marco]

Far as I know there is a Coast to Coast south of me that still has a 445 Poulan Pro on display........... must make it on nails and hinges and such

 

[omegajim]

MS 290 most popular? It proves crowds are a sucker for a good price. Wait a minute I OWN a 290, oops, fell for it too.

 

[Rydaddy]

260

I have to believe that it is the 026, 260. But purely a gut hunch from an amatuer:hmm3grin2orange:

I am willing to bet the 290. Keeps a whole lot of weekend warriors happy, and takes very little maintenance. Laugh at Stihl, but they saw a market segment and went after it.

Nope, wont laugh at Stihl, good saw for it's intended market, homeowners, ask more, and you will regret it. It was great marketing!
