Only advertised for up to 36"? Did they discontinue their bigger bars? I thought at one point they made up to 6ft. Why does Stihl make a 881, but this is to be Husqy's biggest?

It wouldn't take much thought to figure out why (if they actually are) not making a replacement model for a 3120xp.

It goes without saying it's not a very popular class of saw, bought by professionals and a fraction of the fraction of saw enthusiasts.

And among professionals it's not a high use saw, I think I've used the one at work 5 or 6 times this year, it's gonna last forever given it's not stolen or ran over.

I just called my stihl dealer and asked him how many 880s he sold last year - 2.

He lost count of the 271s.

It's not rocket science.

At the shop I worked at, we sold more MS-180s and 290s than any other saw. The BG-55 was our most popular blower. The FS-45 was the most popular trimmer.

What’s even more amazing then that is you’re in faller country and were there during the good times still.

I am pretty sure they are going to make the 3120xp xtorq, based off the k1270

Same displacement and hp as the old 3120 chop saw. Probably just a modern version of the 3120k, so it makes sense they’d use it as the base for a modernized 3120 (if it ever comes out)

Nine times out of ten when I as a homeowner what size chainsaw they have, it gets referred to by its "blade" size. "I have an 18 incher." The tenth dood will say "it's a FARMBOSS!"

Some very smart people I've met talk to me about chainsaws, and other types of saws, purely based on the bar length. When I first started using my "Farm Tough" Husky 460 it was the baddest saw on the planet, till I educated myself on chainsaws (at least a little bit). Now I kind of resent my little boat anchor and wish I knew more about saws when I bought it. Most people don't want to be taught anything, so I could imagine selling saws to be extremely frustrating most of the time.

I crack up when the guys on the forum say "homeowner" like they are somehow above that..

1 - you're a homeowner.

2 - you don't kill trees for a living.

3 - go sit down.

Lol.

But, but, but I have 57 ported pro saws that I take out and cut a cookie with every few months, I'm not like one of those clueless guys that hardly ever uses his 170.
