It depends on what you're going to do with it.  I've got an 056 Super that will pull a 32", but I've got a 24" on it's  It's an older, lower speed saw, and my 460 handles a 32" much easier.  I'd say an 054 could easily pull a 28" or 32" through most wood, but you might think differently when you bury it in oak, or something of that nature.  I could be way off base, but that saw should be around 5.5 or 6 hp.  They didn't publish hp ratings back then, and the closest I got from Stihl on my 056 Super was, "should be somewhere around 6 or 6.5"  I've heard the 056 Standard was about 5.8, and the 056 Mag II was upwards of 6.9, closer to 7. 

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks stihltech, I thought it sounded a little funny too, as I've never seen an 054.  Glad I ain't the only one.   But I certainly ain't seen it all, and didn't want to question it.  Do you mean 034, 044, 064 or 084?

The guy at the saw shop said 054 he is a stilh dealer. maybe we are talking about a different saw, I haven't paid that much attention to it. I don't think I am going to buy it but I will find out what it is and let every one know. ???

There is no such model in the STIHL product line.  Must have the numbers mixed up.
