2150PR, 2155, 1975 specifications

The Poulan 2155, introduced in the mid-1970s, stands as a notable model in the brand's legacy of reliable chainsaws. This particular model is representative of the advancements in chainsaw technology during that era, emphasizing user-friendly features and performance efficiency. The Poulan 2155 is powered by a robust 3.1 cubic inch engine, delivering ample power for a variety of cutting tasks. With a maximum power output of approximately 2.1 horsepower, this chainsaw can tackle both light-duty and medium-duty jobs with ease.

One of the key features of the Poulan 2155 is its lightweight design, which enhances maneuverability and reduces user fatigue during prolonged use. Weighing in at around 10 pounds, this model strikes a good balance between power and portability, making it an ideal choice for homeowners and occasional users alike. Additionally, the chainsaw's compact form factor allows for easier handling in tight spaces, such as when trimming branches or clearing brush.

The Poulan 2155 also boasts a unique easy-start mechanism, which was innovative for its time. This feature ensures that the chainsaw can be started with minimal effort, allowing users to get to work without the frustration often associated with starting traditional two-stroke engines. Combined with a simple ignition system, the Poulan 2155 encourages a smooth startup, even after periods of inactivity.

In terms of safety, the model includes a chain brake that halts the chain’s movement in the event of kickback, providing an additional layer of protection for the operator. Poulan’s consideration for safety features marked a shift toward enhanced user security in chainsaw design during the 1970s.

The Poulan 2150PR, another important model from that era, shares many similarities with the 2155. Both models incorporate durable construction and high-quality materials, ensuring longevity and reliable performance. The 2150PR is also characterized by an easy-access air filter, promoting improved maintenance and consistent engine performance over time.

The Poulan 2155 and 2150PR exemplify the evolution of chainsaw technology in the 1970s, merging user convenience with robust performance capability. Collectively, they represent a commitment to providing reliable, user-friendly tools that cater to both the casual user and the serious hobbyist, solidifying Poulan's reputation in the power equipment industry.
