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

Gas powered beaver!

I bought the Husqvarna 450 Rancher for a Big Timber cutting operation at work clearing away about an acre of cottonwood trees that were densely packed in a swampy area. Compared to my partner's orange and white saw the Husqvarna just absolutely kills it. This thing is like a gas-powered beaver it can run harder and longer than I can. On the second day of using it though I did notice for some reason when you tip the blade down the saw doesn't want to stay running or starts idling differently. I b...

Great saw

Very easy set up, as expected

went to pickup item and it was never pulled and update to my phone said it was worked on. The cashier had to go to the back with my husband and pull herself

Garbage.

Doesn’t keep the bar oiled enough to cut big logs. Even exchanged for another to see if I had just got a bad oiler but second saw had the same problem. Went and bought a Stihl.

dont buy!

chain keeps falling off

For the Price point....

For the price point on this chainsaw, its a beast and a great deal. The chainsaw itself starts right up and seems to cut pretty much any type of wood. Used it to clear a few trees and stumps from my property and it works great. I would recommend it anybody asking.

Exhilarating my new favourite tool

I bbn had a huge tree fall in backyard i had a small electric chainsaw but inly dented the tree this chainsaw cut thru like butter it was exhilarating, i love this thing. Well worth the price. Thank you

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...

Piece of Junk

Bought this saw in June of 2023 to replace my Echo. Nothing wrong with the Echo just needed a longer saw blade. Used it the 4th of July weekend and after only 20 minutes of cutting mesquite the chain fell off causing damage to the cover and the chain itsel. Tried to put the chain back on but the damaged parts would not allow it. Tried taking it back to Lowes but of course they would not take it back because it was used. Referred me to Husqvarna who then referred me back to Lowes. Seems li...

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
