Husqvarna 20 Inch 455 Rancher Gas Chainsaw

Product Information

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 It’s no surprise that the Husqvarna models are equipped with x-torq engines. In situations where the power tools need to adhere to strict environmental rules, these models find their way with low emissions. With no cutting ability compromised, the x-torq engine reduces the output emissions along with low fuel consumption. Low-Vibration Have had a 455 R for about 14 years now and have beat the hell out of it and it has never once broken down. Personally, I’d recommend the 460 over the 455 because you get that extra bit of power for a little more cost, but both saws weigh the same giving the 460 a much better power-to-weight ratio. But if your budget only stretches as far as the 455R, there’s nothing wrong with it for a homeowner firewood saw. 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

The air filtration system has been well documented in the 455 Rancher. The centrifugal air cleaning system is so designed in the chainsaw that it swirls the air around the filter to keep the dust away. In a way, it automatically removes the dust and debris that tend to clog the air filters away before reaching it. Husqvarna 455 Rancher is equipped with a detachable bar ranging from 18 to 20 inches. With a maximum power speed of 9000 rpm, the 455 rancher is capable of completing your job in less time. The differences between the versions are nominal. Usually, it means an extra feature that doesn’t really affect the use of the saw. Often, there are minor differences that improve engine emissions and efficiency, or changes to the cosmetic look of the saw.

Part Type

They get dogged on and I think it’s a little unfair. It’s a dependable saw that can pull a 20″ bar. For every ten saws I service locally, 8 of them are 450 series saws and they’ve all been rode hard. The 550 XP is better in every way, but the 455 was a definite improvement over the 350 and it’s great at what it’s supposed to do.

It provides a comfortable grip on your hand with a 7-degree offset handle. Along with that, it reduces fatigue while the saw is on run. Easy to Start When looking out for a new chainsaw, it’s always important to be clear about what you will be using it for, and how often will you use it. The Husqvarna 455 rancher is perfect for homeowners or anyone looking for a saw for part-time use. Arborists or professionals prefer choosing the higher model of Husqvarna chainsaws for better power and execution. The 455 Rancher comes with the power and ability to deal with high-powered and heavy-duty works. This is another model amongst the arsenal of the Husqvarna chainsaws for landowners or homeowners. Husqvarna 455 Rancher comes with an engine producing 3.5hp of power. Excellent power coupled with X-torq is all that you can ask for in any all-around chainsaw. This saw works with a maximum speed of 9000 rpm, a bad boy to clear all your tree feelings and firewood works.Featuring a petrol two-stroke engine that serves a power displacement of 55.5cc, this Husqvarna 455 Rancher chainsaw has been ergonomically designed to offer the user comfortable use over extended periods of time. Weighing in at just 5.8kg (13lbs), the machine has been fitted with anti-vibration mounts which dramatically reduce the levels of vibration, with the highest single axis measuring 4.5 metres per second. Offering a bar length of 18"/45cm with a chain pitch of 0.325, this all-rounder machine is suitable for both the professional and occasional user. As already stated, this is a 55cc chainsaw and it is usually sold with a 20-inch bar. However, Husqvarna states it can be used with anything from 14 – 20 inches. Many users have found the sweet spot to be a 16 or 18-inch bar. This combo “really rips,” as they say. This advanced feature allows you to adjust the chain and/or bar without being exposed to the sharp cutting chains. All it requires is the flat head screwdriver and adjust the chain accordingly. Inertia-activated Chain Brakes

For chainsaws to work properly, they require lubrication. The Husqvarna 455 rancher has an automatic chain oiling system that continuously lubricates the cutting equipment. This not only allows the chain to run smoothly but also reduces the heating due to friction. Air Purge For example, the difference between the 455 Rancher and 455 e-series Rancher is that the latter has a toolless chain tensioner. That’s the only difference between the two saws and what we assume e-series means. However, if you have a 455 e-series Rancher that has regular bar nuts, that just means it was produced once this designation stopped meaning anything (my Husky 450 e-series is an example of this). 455R Specs And Features Engine This model has a 55.5cc X-Torq engine, which provides lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emission levels to meet the most stringent environmental regulations. The 455 weighs just 5.8 kg, making this a lightweight and well-balanced machine perfect for occasional use. 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. For the easy start of a cold engine, all you got to do is push the bulb several times. With the burst of fuel and 2-stroke oil on the carburetor, your chainsaw is now ready to get started.
