Stihl 031av FarmBoss?
By: old 040 Date: December 17, 2023, 9:54 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I recently picked up another 031 to put back in shape as a
runner. While waiting on a few parts I had been surfing the net
on 031's and came across this image of a 031av listed as a
FarmBoss. The saw was/is owned by an Aussie, so maybe in the
down under they were called FarmBoss. What's odd to me is the
041av would have still been in production, and is the saw during
that time period I remember as being the FarmBoss. Anyone know
if the Aussie version 041av had a different nick-name?

I know where to ask on CR FB group and get you some info.
I found a couple Aussie poulans there in past and got info.
Some of those saved here.

No one seen one in 031. Lot of Aussie's there too.

The Farm Boss sticker looks like someone added it to the saw.
It isn't even centered on the cover.

I had wondered about that too.

Aussie confirmed they are real. = In Australia the
miniboss/woodboss/farm boss designations are/were used for a
group of similarly sized saws, not an individual saw.
Mini boss is the little saws.
Wood boss is the medium saws.
Farm boss are the big saws.
I checked the two 031 I have in the shed, they both have
farmboss stickers.
I just checked Stihl's website, the only current saw to be
listed as farmboss is the MS311.
He said he will get me some pics of his later.

I'll post them as I get them. He said something about 1977 and
before and 77 and after ones. Maybe logo's on recoil.
Aussie = It also has "quickstop" on the badge designating that
it came with a chain break.
Farmboss logo is a bit faded, but just readable.
