For chainsaws to work properly, they require lubrication. The Husqvarna 455 rancher has an automatic chain oiling system that continuously lubricates the cutting equipment. This not only allows the chain to run smoothly but also reduces the heating due to friction. Air Purge It’s one of the positive sides to Husqvarna models that adds value to lower maintenance and prolonged engine life. Seeing that it requires low maintenance, the users save time and money down the line. This ultimately justifies the premium prices Husqvarna charges for in their saws. X-Torq Engine The 455 Rancher features an AIR INJECTION system which reduces overall wear and the necessity for frequent air filter maintenance through a centrifugal air cleaning system allowing for an extended time between filter changes. Although it’s not best preferred by the arborists and professionals, it passes with all the flying colors for use in farms and rancher.

However, Husqvarna states it can be used with anything from 14 – 20 inches. Many users have found the sweet spot to be a 16 or 18-inch bar. This combo “really rips,” as they say. Husqvarna 455 Rancher carries plenty of pros to get excited about. If you’re thinking of buying one, it’s better to look at how it benefits the potential users.

Featuring a petrol two-stroke engine that serves a power displacement of 55.5cc, this Husqvarna 455 Rancher chainsaw has been ergonomically designed to offer the user comfortable use over extended periods of time. Weighing in at just 5.8kg (13lbs), the machine has been fitted with anti-vibration mounts which dramatically reduce the levels of vibration, with the highest single axis measuring 4.5 metres per second. Offering a bar length of 18"/45cm with a chain pitch of 0.325, this all-rounder machine is suitable for both the professional and occasional user. Personally, I’d recommend the 460 over the 455 because you get that extra bit of power for a little more cost, but both saws weigh the same giving the 460 a much better power-to-weight ratio. But if your budget only stretches as far as the 455R, there’s nothing wrong with it for a homeowner firewood saw. When looking out for a new chainsaw, it’s always important to be clear about what you will be using it for, and how often will you use it. The Husqvarna 455 rancher is perfect for homeowners or anyone looking for a saw for part-time use. Arborists or professionals prefer choosing the higher model of Husqvarna chainsaws for better power and execution. After running a 550xp, 562xp, or higher, you will never touch a homeowner saw again. Power-to-weight ratio, and mostly, hand vibrations are the major factor for me. I don’t understand the following of those plastic, cheap constructed, overpriced pieces of s**t. If you think you have a good saw with a 455, you’ve not ran a good saw.Husqvarna are not afraid to innovate either, introducing the robotic, solar powered Automower® in 1995 and continually looking to improve their existing products by listening to their customers. Jumping onto the grass recycling bandwagon, they also manufacture some of the best mulching lawnmowers available, incorporating Bioclip® technology into the vast majority of their petrol lawn mowers. Be left in no doubt, if you buy any product from the Husqvarna garden machinery stable, you will be buying into Swedish quality that is built to last.

Husqvarna 455 Rancher is equipped with a detachable bar ranging from 18 to 20 inches. With a maximum power speed of 9000 rpm, the 455 rancher is capable of completing your job in less time. The smooth run of the chain depends on the chain lubrication system. With that, I mean the automatic chain oiling system that oils the chain and bar rails efficiently. With a 55.5cc engine, it handles the bar length up to 20 inches. Not to forget the low emissions and low fuel uptake it requires. We can’t deny the fact that it’s one of the gold standards that Husqvarna has to offer. Ergonomics The AIR PURGE system allows for an easy start by pre-priming the carburettor and thereby minimising the number of starting pulls required. The LOW VIB anti-vibration dampeners spare the user’s arms and hands, absorbing the vibrations through a two mass principle and thereby facilitating controlled and accurate usage. This feature, combined with distinct felling marks, provide greatly improved felling precision whilst at the same time making this a wonderfully comfortable tool with which to work.It’s no doubt that the 455 rancher is an absolute workhorse for cleaning up the downed trees, farm works, and felling small to medium trees. But, it’s not the preferred one for the professionals. The power and cutting capacity sometimes limit the use of heavy-duty works. Some people find it less powerful as they might be searching for larger projects. Weight

What concerns the user is how well it cuts. Well, as a premium model it does reflects perfection. Husqvarna 455 rancher lives out the expectation and delivers you the optimum result.For example, the difference between the 455 Rancher and 455 e-series Rancher is that the latter has a toolless chain tensioner. That’s the only difference between the two saws and what we assume e-series means. However, if you have a 455 e-series Rancher that has regular bar nuts, that just means it was produced once this designation stopped meaning anything (my Husky 450 e-series is an example of this). 455R Specs And Features Engine
