What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this chainsaw for powerful performance, reliable starting on the first or second pull, and effective cutting through thick branches and fallen trees. Many highlight impressive balance and reduced fatigue during extended use. However, a notable group reports persistent chain retention issues, with chains popping off during operation and requiring frequent adjustments or replacements. Additionally, several customers express frustration with warranty support and return policies, describing unhelpful service redirects and restrictive timeframes. Despite these drawbacks, most consider the core cutting performance strong enough to recommend.

Husqvarna 450 Rancher is Excellent

Would Recommend

Powerful chainsaw cuts great. Have used three times. Hot starts this can be a little finnicky, but overall once it's running this is an excellent chainsaw.

Research

The chainsaw would not run when you increased the gas. It would die every time. Brand new out of the box! Returned it to the store. Was very dissapointed!

Gets the job done

Would Recommend

This saw is a beast. Took down a 30" diameter Elm without hesitation right it off the box. Started right up. Although I did have to adjust the idle a little, but that's not difficult if you know what your doing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cost-effective monster.
