2nd husky

Boufht my first Husky in 2016, a 18 in 440. It had terrible problesm starting. Took it in for repair twice and they couldnt figure out what was wrong with it. Finally took a shot at replacing the carburetor and that fixed it. This new 20 in Rancher runs pretty good. The only problem is after the chain stretched I could never get.it tight enough. It finally came off today and damaged the chain. I ordered another and hope I don't encounter the same problem. Other than that I can say even after the problems with my 18 in i am very pleased with both saws. I am happy i didn't switch brands, which I came very close to doing. I live in the Georgia mountains and my property is all trees with many uprooted or down so I run saws constantly. I do recommend Husky esp if you work all day and want something reliable and somewhat light.

Fantastic chain saw. The pros on this saw far outweigh the cons!

I buy a lot of Amazon, but only occasionally review products that either fall far short or really far exceed my expectations. This saw easily exceeded my expectations. IT IS A BOSS! For years I seriously pushed the limits with a cheaper Ryobi chainsaw that I bought from Home Depot. I'm not knocking Ryobi (or even Home Depot for selling me the Ryobi chain saw). Both are fine companies. And, for the cost, and everything I did cut with it, that Ryobi was a fine deal. But, alas I came up against a project at the end of last summer (2017) that my old Ryobi just could not handle, so I ordered this Husqvarna 460 Rancher off Amazon. In short, after cutting and breaking down close to 40 trees (including large hardwoods) with this Husqvarna 460 Rancher, I have not touched (and probably never will touch) my Ryobi chainsaw again! Read on for my pros and cons after seriously breaking in and using my Husqvarna 460 Rancher. PROS: - Extremely reliable (starts easy, starts every time) - All the power you need to cut the hardest of hardwoods, and yet it does it with way less vibration, kickback, etc. than my old Ryobi - The build quality is outstanding... contrasting it w/ my cheaper Ryobi chain saw, EVERYTHING (from the housing, to the bar chain oil and gas tank lids, to the chain tensioner, the bar itself, etc.) is made and assembled with much higher quality materials and attention. After all the trees I've already dropped and broken down with this Husqvarna saw, I see myself using this saw for years (probably decades) to come. - Safety controls on this saw work flawlessly, are intuitively positioned, and are designed to account for common human errors. - The power to price ratio on this saw is nearly unbeateble! I researched this purchase to death. I considered Stihl, Echo, and other options carefully. But, at least at the time of my purchase, those other brands did not have a comparable deal to this 460 Rancher. And, while this saw ran close to double the price of my old Ryobi chain saw, I'm now cutting stuff my Ryobi could never handle. And, even the stuff my Ryobi could handle, I now process in half the time, and don't walk away feeling so fatigued and worn out. - While Husqvarna is happy to sell you all their accessories to this saw, I really appreciate the fact that they built a saw that uses industry standard bar bolt positions, sizes, mounts, etc. Allowing me to readily consider the slew of third party accessories, replacement chains/bars/etc. in the future. CONS (well really just one con): - While it is SO MUCH MORE pleasant to work with, compared to my admittedly lesser powered and cheaper Ryobi chain saw, this is NOT a small and/or light chain saw. It is substantially heavier and larger than my smaller Ryobi. My wife is petite, and she can handle the Ryobi well, given its smaller body size, lighter weight and handle positioning. But, I think my wife would struggle with the wider positioning of the handles and weight of this saw. Neither are an issue for me, and I'm not a particulary big guy (5' 10", 210 lbs), but it is something for others to consider. For what it is worth, even with its larger and heavier body, the ease with which this saw cuts, the reduced vibration (at least in contrast to my Ryobi), its ability handle kickback well, all make for a much less fatiguing experience for me.

Awesome chainsaw!!

A great saw! I grew up in Maine, my dad used a Husqvarna daily in the woods. Bought this saw as my dad recommend it; as a good saw for what I needed, cutting up red oak and white oak downed from a tornado in the N GA mountains. Just cut up 4, 60ft oaks. This thing is a beast, it did not spudder once with a 30" oak. Will see how it preforms with the alaskan saw.. will update.

Great saw. Love husqvarna

Big fan of higher end husqvarna stuff. This is a great saw. Easy to use, decompression button... yes... starts nicely without most of the time or nicely with. I have had these saws (455 and 460) for years and am replacing after they were stolen. Ive been using a smaller saw (435 with 18 inch bar) in meantime for several years and missed the bigger one. This 460 is comfortable for all day, not too thirsty as your next size up in commercial (unless its now different) is a bit thirstier... i have been using saws on a farm for about 20 years and while im not climbing trees and dont need the lightest, i need a saw that can run for an entire day to week at a time to usually weekend after weekend of all day hardwood tree use. There are some other great saws out there but the husqvarna seems to have the perfect layout, balance and feel and has always been reliable.

The best.

Since I am anonymous, I will admit that I accidentally put the chain on the wrong way. This saw is beautiful, heavy, a work of art. Buy the breeches, ear and eye protection and learn to hold it correctly because it's also a tool of death. If you need a lifetime chainsaw, this is it. We have 60 acres of mature trees and it is perfect for heavy duty work. Highly recommend.

MASSIVE POWER

I did my homework on this chainsaw. I spent close to 2 months trying to decide between Stihl and the Husqvarna! And then between the 455, 460, and the 465. The price difference between the 460 and the 465 does not justify the auto program electronics in the 465. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned and I like making the adjustments on the high in the low, but to me it was well worth the difference in the price. I thought about going with the 455 but I wanted to be able to use a much larger bar, because eventually I want to use the saw for milling and Lumber. Right out of the box I was very impressed with how the saw ran in the raw power that it has. One of the big arguments between stihls and Husqvarna, is the stihls you have to run all out in the huskys are very torquey. As a person who drives diesels I prefer the torque. It was also nice that as I laid the saw down I can start it up as the bar is on the wood and not have to wind it up before I could go into it, and it would run right through it. The picture I have below is a 30 inch diameter log of black oak that is about as green as they get and I ran the Chainsaw right through it. I'm not a professional arborist or somebody who cuts wood all the time. But I do cut down trees from family and friends and cut some for a wood burner I have in my woodshop. Ultimately as I said I would love to be able to mail my own lumber. So for a normal every day person I just wanted a good strong chainsaw that will hopefully be one of the last ones I buy for a very long time this chainsaws absolutely excellent !! I would even recommend this to experts as well because I believe they would love it too.

Such a huge step up from a beginner's chainsaw!

I had been using a Poulan Pro saw from my local big box store. I didn't realize how different it would be to get a "real saw." I have several downed trees (pines and cedar), and the old saw would smoke and have difficulty getting through this soft wood. The new Husq sliced through it in about 5 seconds. I was able to buck an entire tree in about 5 minutes and slice it up into firewood with no trouble at all. I completely love this saw. Right out of the box, assembly only required attaching the bar and chain, which was very simple. It started up on the 2nd pull and thereafter started up on the first pull every time. The saw is not too heavy and the anti-vibration technology is fantastic. I have a very small McCulloch saw that is hard to use because it vibrates so violently. The Husq is a dream to use.

real upgrade on poulan pro 42cc

Big storm with several trees and lots of limbs down was finally too much of a challenge for my Poulan. Got this because I couldn't justify the expense of a pro saw for occasional cleanup and firewood cutting. It's a very definite step up. Much more power, goes right through trunks the old saw had to be babied on even with a sharp blade. Cut a 30" sweet gum off its root ball with ease, just let the saw do the work and dropped it right through. Wouldn't have even tried that before. Did have some trouble starting it at first, but once I dumped out my stale old fuel and put in fresh it's kicked right up.

Nasty

This saw is one bad mother. I had the bar almost buried in a 22" oak trunk and it ate through it in no time at all without even bogging. I originally bought this because my Husky 440 wasn't enough to do a grapple load of hardwood within the time frame i needed from it. This saw is a little on the heavy side, but not unbearable. It fires on the first pull with the decompression valve opened (fantastic feature btw). It is pretty good on gas for the level of performance it puts out. The anti vibration technology will let you cut for hours without being rattled to pieces. The best part is if you want to run a smaller bar (18" is the minimum AFAIK), just slap it on and you'll have enough juice to cut through anything you come cross and still have a 24" bar for big jobs.
