Ratings & Reviews for Husqvarna 450 Rancher 50.2-cc 2-cycle 20-in Gas Chainsaw
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

This thing eats
Would Recommendspent two hours trying to start a brand new Echo CS590 from HD, returned it and went to Lowes and picked up the Rancher. this saw started right up and we went to work, cleared two massive pines and some elm in just under and hour. ran the saw non stop and it never died or had any failures.

JUNK
Would Not RecommendFriends, I almost never rant here, but some companies just need to be called out—so this is my anti-recommendation. Don’t buy power tools from Lowe's or Husqvarna. I bought a rather expensive chainsaw from Lowe’s last Wednesday—a Husqvarna 450 Rancher II with a 20” bar. I didn’t use it until Saturday to cut down some small things (butterfly bushes and crepe myrtle trees). For once in my life—probably the last time—I decided to follow the manufacturer’s directions to a tee. I fueled it up, added ...

Would RecommendIt's a beast! You can't beat this saw for farm and home use... I had a lot of trees down from hurricane Helena and this thing continues to power through everything. The 20" bar gives that "just enough" to saw the larger trees. No Regrets!!

Powerful. Cut through large size trees, but requires replacing chains every few cuts

love this saw
Would Recommendi had initially gotten a 14" electric saw; while i won't say that it was a waste of money, i soon realized that i needed a larger saw to handle the hurricane debris. the battery lasted only so long before needing to be recharged so i knew that i needed a gas powered saw. this saw started easily and was able to cut the large limbs that i needed to cut. I had a 50 ft oak tree fall onto my house. the trunk was at least 32" and the main branches were at least 22". this 20" saw handled the main ...

crap
Would Not RecommendI bought this saw after Hurricane Helene. I have filled it with gas once and it cranks every time. However, it has destroyed 4 chains in that little time that I've used it. It will cut like butter for 10-15 minutes then the chain will jump off. Inspecting the chain shows broken inner teeth and every time the chain is off of the sprocket. I have been using chainsaws my entire life and own a smaller craftsmen that has always worked. but just wasn't big enough to handle the trees I had down. VER...
