I have a 350 and loved it the saw had a lot of power and would cut anything.The oil tank got a hole in it after 14 years of running fine. I look at the new husqvarna saws and got the 460 to replace the 350. The 460 will not idle and has no power when cutting it acts like the chain is dull even when it is good and sharp. Dealer will not do anything with the carb because I got the saw online.Worst saw ever I think if you pay $500 for a saw it should run like a camp!!!

I use these saws on a river project they get dropped, they cut in water, they get sand in them. As you can see they are put to the test. They start easily have really good power. To me these are the best on the market!!

I bought this saw about 4 years ago, I use it to cut all my fire wood and then some. It has preformed very well. You can burry the 20 inch bar into a tree and not be lacking power. Its nice to use, a little on the heavy side to be cutting brush all day but has served great for fire wood. I had a problem after three years with the carburetor letting fuel into the crank case while in storage. I took it to the shop I bought it from and he replaced the carb. He said its a pretty common problem with Husqvarna carbs and some do it brand new. All in a I'm happy with this saw.

I purchased a 455 Rancher new in 2005 and have had great service out of that saw. Husqvarna has definitely earned my business. Our seven acres was heavily grazed by livestock for thirty five years and it was chuck-full of hedge and locust. Those trees get big and there are few woods as hard as those two species. About eighteen months ago I began to fell and cut up all of it for fence posts and firewood. We just bought the 460 Rancher so we could have two saws. The low end torque of this saw is great. I use my chainsaw four to eight hours every weekend. We bought the 460R on Friday morning and by Sunday night it had its first four hours. This saw is a runner! If you use a chainsaw a lot, you really need to take a look at the 460R.

I have owned about 10 different husky saws first was 281 had 4 394s 1 455 3 575s .The 460 is the worst every on design brand new bar and brand new chain and it's almost out of adjustment from the start all of the others you can wear the chain completely out and still have adjustment.The 460 when the chain is about half you either take out a link or replace the chain.

Last Husqvarna I'll buy! Can't get the chain brake over the clutch to reassemble after swapping chains. Is there a recall on this so called engineering? I've repaired assembled and reassembled lots of chainsaws, over 40 years and never had this issue?

Only problem is that when the chain comes off the sprocket, the sprocket damages the chain drivers that ride in the groove of the bar. This damage on the chain will cause the chain not to fit in the bar.

This brand new 460 would not start .....even though it was brand new. Worthless. Additionally...the instruction and owners manual was simply pathetic....poorly written with terrible organization. This is not a consumer friendly chainsaw....to say the least. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I bought a 5 acre lot that had been neglected the last few decades, so my goal was to clear fallen down trees and turn it into usable firewood. I also picked up a case of the premixed 50:1 Husqvarna fuel to ensure that the saw had a good break in period and would last awhile. After a few hours each weekend, on the 4th weekend owning the saw, the starter rope sheared off mid cut. I brought the saw home, took off the outer plastics, and realized that the damage was much more than replacing a starter rope. I'm not sure what caused what, but the pulley was melted and there were portions of sheared rope through out. I ran the saw back to where it was purchased, so they ordered me another one. By the way, prior to this, I loved the saw. I didn't have any issues cutting smaller branches to 3ft wide trees. I pl 2 days later the new saw arrived and I was ready to get back out there. I opened the box (which had a crease running down the middle of one side) and pulled out a damaged saw. I can't tell if the box was dropped or crushed or possibly nothing at all, but I knew this saw was going right back. I attempted to engage the brake, but it just kept snapping back. I shook the unit and heard at least 5 pieces rattling inside. I didn't bother to pull any of the plastics off, i just returned it again. My review is not based on this saw, as I'm not certain who is at all fault. The saw did have grease all over, so I'm not sure if that is sloppy work or another result of bad shipping/packing. The store manager convinced me to wait the 2 more days and try once more, so I am. I expect my 3rd saw the come later today. I own everything I can Husqvarna; I just picked up a new garden tractor as well. Yesterday was the first cut and loved it. My weed wacker is going into it's 6th year without a single issue, besides replacing the spark plug and line. If this had happened with any other company, I would have taken my money elsewhere, but I'm optimistic and hopefully it will be worth it.
