Final Analysis:
Upsides: This Husqvarna 455 Rancher saw is super easy to use and operate. The components like the spark plug, clutch housing and air filter are easily accessible. It starts up easy and is really great for jobs like cutting out a wall, cutting fence posts or bucking up a tree.
Downsides: EPA regulations limit the low/hi mixture settings which is a joke. Your warranty becomes void if you try to optimize your settings by removing the controls. The Husqvarna 455 Rancher is a bit loud and there are minor oiling issues, but this can be avoided by punching out clogged debris from the oil reservoirs.
The chain stretches and needs to be replaced a lot, but this happens with all chainsaws. Overall, this is a great quality chainsaw that does all your heavy duty jobs with ease.
