Finally...a chainsaw for all!
We have been though so many different brands and sizes....from too heavy to lift, too lite weight and not able to cut a sapling. Now it is all in one....power to spare, and easy to handle, easy to start, and so much quieter. I love my Husqvarna Ranch hand!!

Great saw!!
I bought this saw about 1 year ago and love it. I have 2 wood stoves and use about 6-7 full cords of wood each winter. This saw has taken on everything. I run a 20 inch bar and with a sharp chain it almost cuts the wood itself.
Great saw, easy to change chains and keep tension correct.

Light weight yet powerful enough...
This is a chainsaw that is light weight enough for me, a woman, to handle. It is easy starting which is something that my Jonsared chainsaw was not.

Hard working chain saw. NICE
I bought my 455 rancher e series chain saw in March of 2011. The saw cuts on average 1.5 to 2 cord per tank of fuel. it will cut all I can handle and then sum. I cut on average 40 - 50 cord a month. The only problem I have come acrossed is I keep breaking chain adjusters. I don't know why but Husqvarna sent me a new3 one when I brought it to their attention. I am very satisfied with customer service and my saw. Husqvarna 455, 965-09-28-00

Great saw
I purchased this saw two years ago from my father-in-law who is a Husqvarna dealer in Montana. I use this saw exclusively for cutting firewood in northern Arizona. We cut a lot of ponderosa, Douglas-fir, aspen, juniper, pinyon, and a little scrub oak. The saw handles great and starts without fail. Easy to adjust the bar tension and change chains. The only down side was figuring out how to unlock the rotation after I threw the chain one time. Eventually had to pry loose the lock manually with a Leatherman even though I'm sure that's not how you're supposed to disengage it.

Couldn't ask for a more dependable saw!
I own two of these chainsaws now! I recently purchased a second due due an increase in tree cutting this year. I have had my other 455 Rancher for over four years and it is one of my company's most dependable and trusted tools. We use it daily, and in four years never a breakdown! Great power, easy to start in rain, shine, heat, or cold! We cut up 4-6 trees a day, and I couldn't ask for a better saw! My second saw is just as dependable as the first!

Cuts like crazy, leaks like a sieve
Great power, easy starting, rolls over if you put it down on any kind of a uneven ground. Bar oil all leaks out when it's in storage. What a mess. The dealer could not fix the problem. Sent it to the factory for repair. They said they fixed it but when I pulled it out to use it this spring a ton of oil ran out of the plastic chain guard onto the floor in the garage. The factory did nothing to fix it and it cost me $38 to send it in for repairs. I'm trying hanging it handle down from the chain bar to see if that keeps the oil from running out. I'd say buy a different model.

Great Saw
Great saw for use on anything you need to saw. I wish the newer ones were made that good.
