Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Husqvarna 460 Rancher and the 455 Rancher?

The 460 Rancher has a larger 60.3cc engine and produces 3.62 hp, compared to the 455’s 55.5cc and 3.5 hp. The 460 is designed to pull a 24-inch bar effectively, whereas the 455 is best suited for a maximum of 20 inches. Choose the 460 if you regularly cut wood diameters exceeding 18 inches.

Can the Husqvarna 460 Rancher handle a 24-inch bar?

Yes, the 460 Rancher is specifically engineered to handle a 24-inch bar. When using the full 24" length in hardwoods, we recommend using a Husqvarna X-CUT® chain to maintain high chain speed and reduce engine strain.

How does the Decompression Valve help start the 460 Rancher?

Because of its high-compression 60cc engine, the 460 Rancher includes a Decompression Valve (the blue button). Pressing this before pulling the starter cord reduces the force needed to pull the rope by roughly 50%, preventing "kickback" on the starter handle and making it much easier to start in cold weather.

How do I adjust the oil flow on my Husqvarna 460 Rancher?

The 460 Rancher features an adjustable oil pump. Using a flathead screwdriver on the underside of the saw, you can increase the oil flow when using a 24-inch bar or decrease it for shorter bars to ensure the chain stays lubricated without wasting bar and chain oil.

What is the best chain for cutting hardwood with the 460 Rancher?

For the 460 Rancher, we recommend the Husqvarna X-CUT® C85 chain. It is a full-chisel, 3/8" pitch chain designed specifically to maximize the 3.62 hp output of the 460. If you are cutting exceptionally dirty or frozen wood, a semi-chisel chain may stay sharp longer, though it will cut slightly slower.
