Husqvarna 20 Inch 455 Rancher Gas Chainsaw

Product Information

The Husqvarna 455 Rancher is a good all-rounder saw. No, it’s not the 550 or 562 XP, but it’s a decent homeowner chainsaw. What concerns the user is how well it cuts. Well, as a premium model it does reflects perfection. Husqvarna 455 rancher lives out the expectation and delivers you the optimum result. Husqvarna’s 455 Rancher boasts easy handling and high torque over a wide rpm range, offering impressive performance in all cutting conditions. With an 18 inch bar length. The angled front handle provides a natural grip and a sturdy working position making short work of medium diameter timber, heavy duty firewood and felling larger trees. Additionally, the combined choke/stop control enables much improved precision and impressive ergonomic efficiency. With a 55.5cc engine, it handles the bar length up to 20 inches. Not to forget the low emissions and low fuel uptake it requires. We can’t deny the fact that it’s one of the gold standards that Husqvarna has to offer. Ergonomics

Went from a 20” bar to a 16” on my 455. Noticeable difference in performance. Don’t really need the longer bar if cutting 12 to 14″ rounds and the saw seems much peppier. It’s recommended to look at the condition of chains and bars when you’re working with them. Sometimes, it’s how you treat them that affects the most at work efficiency. Keeping that in mind, make sure the chains are well lubricated and well tensioned. Also, look after the sharp teeth and replace them when needed. Don’t forget to align them at the optimum cutting angle. SmartStart About HusqvarnaBelieve it or not, Husqvarna did not start off by manufacturing any type of garden machinery at all. Instead they were established in 1689 as a weapons foundry supplying the Swedish Armed Forces. During the subsequent years, diverse and varied products have been produced, from sewing machines and cast iron kitchen equipment through to bicycles and motorbikes. It wasn't until 1959 that Husqvarna finally made its first chainsaws and engine-driven lawnmowers. The company's reputation for build quality and durability of product has never been in question. This is probably the reason for their line of professional petrol chainsaws being so popular with forestry workers across the globe. Although it’s not best preferred by the arborists and professionals, it passes with all the flying colors for use in farms and rancher. And if you’re seeking something that’s a top-in-the-line professional chainsaw, the 550xp can be the perfect spot.

After running a 550xp, 562xp, or higher, you will never touch a homeowner saw again. Power-to-weight ratio, and mostly, hand vibrations are the major factor for me. Whatever Husqvarna 455 version you have or are looking at buying, know that they’re all decent chainsaws. But keep in mind there are 20 years between the first models and today’s models, so there are definitely some differences in how they look, perform, and feel. 455 Rancher Vs 455 e-series Rancher Since chains and bars are the business product of chainsaws, it’s imperative to keep an eye on them. The detachable arm option of this chainsaw allows you to adjust or replace it when needed. Unlike other old models, there is a side-mounted chain tensioner option on the 455 Rancher.

The Husqvana SMART START system mechanically assists against recoil which reduces the starting force required by 40%. I don’t understand the following of those plastic, cheap constructed, overpriced pieces of s**t. If you think you have a good saw with a 455, you’ve not ran a good saw.
