Ratings & Reviews for Husqvarna 450 Rancher 50.2-cc 2-cycle 20-in Gas Chainsaw

Great saw!

Larger than my last chainsaw. Not as heavy as I expected which will make long days of cutting a breeze. Very happy with this saw.

Junck---and Husqvarna do not warranty it

i porches it from Lowes, it stop working after 3 month and i used it less 3 hours in total. Lowes do not char after 30 days,. Husqvarna have not phone number for warranty, you email or message them on the thier website only. Husqvarna, said take to Northern Tool to do the warranty work. Northern Tool charge me $65 jus to look at it. after that Northern tool refuse to open warranty and they are asking for $193 to fix it and they refuse to open warranty claim. it was scam. Husqvarna do no...

Be weary

In 3 hrs popped and destroyed chains. Noone can tell me about warranty i purchased.

don't buy and Lowes has terrible customer service

Within an hour of using it, really after a few cuts the chain came off and was too damaged to use. Went and bought another chain and the same thing happened almost immediately. Yes, the tension was correct. Took it back to lowes to return less than 24 hours of buying it and they wouldn't let me return it. I have had it for less than 24 hours and have a chainsaw that doesn't work and Lowes customer service was terrible!

Love It!

Used a bunch of times and does what it's supposed to do. I've run 3 different brand chainsaws most my life and Husqvarna is my go to saw.

dont buy!

chain keeps falling off

Can't get the job done if the tools are no good!

I bought this product because I heard people say it was a good chainsaw. I got it home used the premixed gas and pulled until I was tired of doing it and it NEVER STARTED, didn't even act like it was going too. When I was returning mine a gentleman in front of me was returning his as well because he couldn't get it to start either. This is most definitely the last time I purchase a Husqvarna product.

Better than expected

I purchased this saw after going looking at several places. Straight out of the box I have cut 9 small trees, several bushes, and one big tree. No problems at all. The power to weight ratio of this saw is perfect. No, its not a Sthil, but it's starts right up unlike my old Sthil, and cuts just as good. Thus, I am happy so far.

Just what I need!

 I have a lot of trees in my yard  and I chose a Husqvarna 450 rancher 20 inch chainsaw because I have already used  my friend's Husqvarna 455 rancher chain saw before and I loved it . I also have a Husqvarna 150BT leaf blower which is 12 years old and it works just perfectly. I chose 450 rancher instead of 455 rancher because it's 2 pounds lighter, cheaper, almost the same power and both of them have a 20" bar. New 450 rancher chainsaw has some improvements versus my friend's  10-year old 455 r...

Amazing 20" chainsaw!

This is an absolutely mind blowing powerful yet quiet chainsaw that outperforms anything I've ever used before to include commercial grade saws! Comes ready to use out the box after fueling it and was able to take down a large tree and make firewood in less than a hour! Cuts smooth and clean and doesn't take up much space in your garage.

Good homeowner saw

This Husqvarna 450 chainsaw is a decent and solid chainsaw for a homeowner and light rancher. This is the newest version, and the sprocket cover now has one bolt securing it which makes on the go maintenance a little quicker. It started right up, although the instructions regarding priming the bulb, pulling the start rope lightly to NOT start the saw, then repositioning the start stop switch is confusing, particularly since the instructions are different for a warm and cold engine. I’ve been usi...

Smoothest Most Powerful Chainsaw Ever!

Wow. I was concerned the 20" size would be too heavy and unwieldy...not! This is the best balanced saw I have ever used. it was comfortable even for my wife. The X-Torq engine is surprisingly quiet, very smooth with minimal vibration and the instant torque allows you to cut at lower throttle. The lower emissions and reduced smoke is a big improvement from traditional chainsaws! Quick Start with Air Purge saves muscle abuse when starting, a very easy short pull. Finally, the design simply l...

Excellent Husqvarna Chainsaw

The Husqvarna 20-in X-Force 450 Rancher Chainsaw is amazing. I never owned such a nice piece of equipment. I like the angle of the grab bar so it doesn’t feel awkward. With all the pieces together it cuts through large and small sized easily. Cuts like butter. The job went so fast I couldn’t believe it. The only issue was it’s a tad heavy for me so I just have to be careful when I’m using it. All in all it’s excellent and I’m so thankful for the Lowe’s Loop Program!

Many new features! We love Husqvarna

Wow. This chainsaw has many new features! They did away with the compression release button. They updated to flip up oil & fuel caps & changed the color scheme on plastic molding looking forward to an easy firewood season! Cuts like a dream

Excellent chainsaw

This is a great, well made chain saw. It started up almost immediately after getting the fuel and bar oil in and just 6 pushes of the primer bulb. We purchased the premix fuel specifications for Husqvarna products but they provide oil for you to mix with gasoline. You will need bar chain oil. It does take a pretty strong person to keep it under contril as it is a powerful piece of equipment! Please be very careful when using it especially if you've never used one. We cut some fence posts and...
