Husqvarna Chainsaw Review - 455 Rancher

[@mpmassacre91]

Man that thing don't look like it worked for 3 years so clean. I have around 4 years of heavy use and it still runs like a champ.

[@georgeharsin6292]

Bought my 455 rancher 16 years ago and have cut 2-3 cords of firewood with it for 12 of those years with no problems. That being said, she quit on me last week and even the repair shop can't get it to start. Going to go and buy the same saw again tomorrow.

[@jasonfoster9118]

Might be the crank seals. My old 357 quit and even a new carb wouldn't make it run again. I found out later that changing the crank seals really isn't that hard and I mostly let a good saw get away from me.

I find the 455 to be a great saw, obviously not pro level but I've never had an issue with mine!

[@duke1281]

Not boasting at all.. I got mine for FREE from Tractor Supply 2 years ago..and no, I didn't steal it..

[@shanepitzer4323]

Pretty clean for 3 years old; not a scratch on it. 😀

[@douggoodrich7456]

I’ve have the 45 it was given to me also have stiele 170 both are good saws get firewood for trapping shed and summer time camp fires

[@rball690]

Neither of those saws are equivalent to a 455. And I also have a Stihl 170 (30cc) and it's nowhere even close to a 455(55cc) Rancher. And the 45 is 44cc.

[@rball690]

Yes not a professional saw but a mid grade "farmers/ranchers" saw. I just bought one.

[@ScottStone-qk1od]

What is the black button on top of saw by the brake? thanks

[@SunTzu119]

Decompression button....makes it easier to pull start

[@sdmc1972]

i think the bungees are to hold your manual

[@aftertheknot1765]

Yeah I think so too, mine always fell out when I opened the case so I took them out

[@RollingEasy]

Does it have carburettor adjusting screws? H L and LA? Also, an adjustable oiler? Also a Rim sprocket?

[@johnwashingtoncountyor4954]

Mine is over 4 years old and still runs great. Regular maintenance is key.

[@aftertheknot1765]

Yes, definitely!

[@danielpadgett2831]

A little tip when you tighten your chain pull up on the tip of the bar as your are tighten the bar nuts

[@jollyfox]

Did not explain what the top button was for on the top of the chainsaw.

[@rball690]

Decompression valve for easier pulling.

[@farmbossmikey1350]

i had the same saw too from 3 years too

[@aftertheknot1765]

They are great saws!

Husqvarna is not Husqvarna of old. They are cheap Chinese junk now. I'd go echo if can't afford a stihl. My Husqvarna are in the trash recycling where belong , as I couldn't even give them away for free.

[@ATFisGay]

Husqvarna pro saws are just as good if not better than previous generations. Any homeowner saw is not the same quality as pro grade. That applies to stihl and echo too.

[@C0C0_Nuts]

Husqvarna and Stihl are both still Swedish/German companies with a lot of their mfg there as well as US and a few other places - and both manufacture their low end products in China.

[@GripperCc]

@@C0C0_Nuts My uncle worked in the forest all his life as a logger and he drove nothing but Husqvarna for the only saw that could keep up with him!
