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

Poor assembly from the manufacture.

The chain was installed backwards straight out of the box. Very frustrating to purchases an expensive piece of equipment and it not be ready to use straight out of the box.

Always an issue

I've had this chainsaw for about 11 months now and it is in the shop for repairs 20% of the time. It always seems to have an issue when I need to use it and it is extremely frustrating that it does not work when I need it. I had a cheap BlueMax saw for 5 years that worked great until the motor burned up. The Husqvarna can't even make it a year and cost twice as much.

buy Premixed fuel for manufacturer extend 5yr warr

runs well a full tank of pre mix fuel wil last about 2hrs of constant runtime

Husqvarna equals Quality saw

Powerful enough to cut through large limbs. Chain stays sharp for hours of cutting. Case purchased separately protects the saw but is a bit difficult to open and close.

The Husqvarna 450 Rancher good saw

I purchased the Husqvarna 450 Rancher a few days ago, the only problems I had was with the chain brake. What ever you do DO NOT take the side clutch cover off with the chain brake engaged!!! If you don’t the cover will not go back on. If this happens , take the bar and chain I completely off then slide the cover on and move the chain brake handle back and forth til you feel the tension machinism fall in position, bolt the cover down then pull back on Chain brake handle to disengage, it has been ...

This saw is everything you would expect it to be a

Easy to start, stop and restart.

love my new saw exactly what I wanted out of a saw

superior Machine

This was a great investment, I was tired of taking out my Craftsman 20 inch and having to work on it ALL the time. It's been a long time since I have had a new one, forgot to tighten the chain after a few minutes and it popped off the rear of the sprocket, my bad, readied it up and ran like a champ, not impressed with the manual though, it's all pictures. Would recommend

Did not last a month

Drove 4 counties away to buy this so I could clear trees from my property after hurricane Ian (less than an acre). It only lasted 3 weeks before the sprocket nose seized. I kept the bar oil reservoir full, but it still seized. Did not have time to pursue warranty, so I bought a replacement bar and chain. Now the saw has the vapor lock problem described in other reviews, even though I used ethanol free rec fuel. In short, it let me down when I needed it most.
