Most popular Stihl

[Stihl051master]

I have a question just out of curiosity - Does anyone know what the most popular/best selling Stihl saw of all time is?

 

[AngelofDarkness]

Probably either an 041 FarmBoss or the 026.

 

[04ultra]

066/MS-660.........

 

[Lakeside53]

029/290.... for sure....

 

[kevlar]

029/290.... for sure....

I agree

 

[mile9socounty]

What? Ain't no one mentioned the 361? I would say from all the saws I been around. The 044.

 

[Lakeside53]

Nope... the pro saws don't sell in the quanites of the consumer saws...

 

[04ultra]

Nope... the pro saws don't sell in the quanites of the consumer saws...

In my stable the 066/660 is the #1 saw............

 

[Brushwacker]

029/290.... for sure....

I would think thats a fact and likely before the 029 the 028 was it.

 

[SustainableTree]

I believe that it is the 028, certainly this series...028/029/290.

 

[rbtree]

That's not a series. The 028 and the Super were discontinued ages ago..and were great saws. They have nothing in common with the 029/290, which, while it may be the biggest seller, is a homeowner saw which only outstanding feature is its price.....well they do seem to last, I've heard.

 

[COLD_IRON]

Not to mention, the 028 was a white handle, the 029/290 are orange handle saws. Completely different. And yea 029/290 are the most popular saw by far.

Now this could be split into 2 categories - most popular Professional and most popular homeowner saw.

Now - what is the most popular selling pro Stihl? 044/440? 026/260?

 

[belgian]

In our area, that would probably the 08S or the 041. Current models, no idea really.

 

[lcso10]

My first thought to the question was the 028. After reading the replies and thinking more of it I will agree the 029/290.

 

[Darkness77]

Here in Australia it seams like every second person has an 038. Alot of 660's around too.

 

[gafirefighter]

I will also have to go 029/290 I see more of those than anything in GA.

Thanks,

Adam

The 029/290 is the best selling Stihl of all time. The thing has been made for 20 years and sells consistently to this day. Like has been stated Pro saws sell in less numbers than home owner saws only about 25% of our saw sales are pro Saws. At my shop our #1 selling saw is the MS250 and #2 saw is the MS180 and #3 is the MS290.

i think some are confusing popular with best selling.

the most popular stihl saw to me is the ms440, if not the best saw they ever made, definately in the top two.

It looks like the 250 & 290 bashers on here don't understand the term "marketing" too well
