Husqvarna 455 Rancher Gas Chainsaw

Starts easy. Plenty of power.. great saw for big and small wood.. I would definitely buy again..

I had a couple of other chainsaws and were not happy with how they cut. This one is the perfect size and weight. It starts right up no matter how long it sets. It likes to eat through wood quickly. If I would've know how much better this chain saw is than the ones I had, I would have bought it long ago. This thing is so much quicker.

I love this chainsaw. It's easier to start than my 450 R, the extra power makes it easier on my body because I don't have to work the machine in to the wood. I'm able to buy a skip tooth for it so sharpening is easier and cutting faster. It's a great strong woman chainsaw. I'm 72, I've had huskies for 30 years. The last 2 were somewhat disappointments but not this one. It rocks. I love the compression release and the way the choke is set up to use. The 20" saw chain and bar are the perfect counter weight to the machine.

I do like tools! Great instructions Very nice and powerful chainsaw Worth it. Nice upgrades on the build I like the ratio of fuel and lubricant and how they fill and use equally also the unique caps for those also Very nice and sleek design Chainsaw is real easy and safe to operate

This chainsaw has some serious power! I've ran it side by side with a Stihl MS 290 and it definitely keeps up just as well in my opinion. I unfortunately had a chain come off one time, and the way that the catch is designed on this saw definitely trashed that chain... This only happened once, and I've used the saw for 20+ hours at this point, which is a lot of sawing! As such, I don't think that's going to be a continued issue or a flaw with the saw itself. Saws this size are going to be heavy, so keep that in mind depending on what you're planning on doing with it... but the compression relief valve makes it easy to pull start this saw, the fuel bulb makes it easy to prime the carb before you try to start the saw, and typically it fires up on the second pull

Cuts through large 20" round with no trouble at all. Using the engineered fuel, following directions, everything fired up and works as expected. The clutch brake cover is metal and unlike the cheaper chainsaws, will hold up without a meltdown. It's well worth the cost. The last 2 cost the same as this one. It's worth the extra up front, not dealing with all the hassle the cheaper other branded saws are. Update: After 7 or 8 uses, the saw died. It's not the fuel, as I use THEIR premixed stuff at 35$ a gallon. :( There's no spark and unfortunately, it needs a dealer to repair for warranty coverage. Terrible After repairs (ignition coil) it's been running fantastic without fail. The Hurricane Helene (AT trail maintainer/Sawyer) cleanup was only possible for me because of the reliability of this saw, even through stuff 27" thick (24" bar).

Powerful great cutting saw, easy to start, and well balanced.

The 455 has plenty of power and not too heavy for most jobs. Easy start every time and cuts through trees like butter. The 20” bar is ideal for my main use which is cutting firewood and larger limbs. I was a Stihl user for years but now all my outdoor tools are Husqvarna. Highly recommended!
