Husqvarna455 Rancher Gas Chainsaw, 55-cc 3.5-HP, 2-Cycle X-Torq Engine, 20 Inch Chainsaw with Automatic Oiler, For Wood Cutting, Tree Trimming and Land Clearing

Best chainsaw I have owned. I have owned many other brands (Stihl, Craftsman, Echo, etc.) - this is the best. Starts easily, cuts well. Great value. Highly recommended.

Needed for clearing up storm and flood damage after Helene. Amazon was the only place I was able to get one at the time. Fantastic saw, plenty of power, easy to start, not too bad heavy, and got it on sale. Overall for my first real saw, it's been a good buy.

I've been cutting up a 22" red oak that was blown over in my yard during Helene using this saw, and it hasn't missed a beat. It's super easy to start, it has plenty of power (the tree is up off the ground, so I've been boring every cut), the chain stays sharp and stays on the bar, which is something I've heard about these. This is all the saw most people will need, and if you take care of it, it should be the last one you need for a long time. I haven't tried cutting pine using this, but I think with plenty of patience it should do fine.

I guess I need to use this for a couple years to see how it really works, but the first use was great. Easy to start and cuts well.In hindsight it's probably bigger than I need for my 5 acre yard. The problem is that it's a little heavy and I'm nearly 70 so it may be too much in a few years. But there are no problems with the saw.

Plenty of power for the job

Bought this as we had several big trees to cut after a big stor. Got all the safety gear and once saw showed up followed instructions on how to get started.1. No matter how tight, bar bolts always came off mid-cut(safer issue) I had to buy fresh ones from Home Depot that would prevent coming off from vibration.2. No matter what I do, chain constantly gets loose, resulting in poor if any cut. Will tighten, run saw for few min and then Chain sags. Spend more time retightening, stopping, than getting actual work done.Have watched many videos and other day none of this should happen once saw is broken in. Friend of mine that used saws for years said same thing.I had to also clean the interior because no way after just a few minimal uses that got that dirty. Also had to replace the belt as original one came with just wanting cutting.Really hoped for better. Once I FIXED it seemed to run fine. However to invest more time/$$ n something that should have had minimal setup, new, and saved time was not good.Update Sept 2024Still issues persist, chain flies off regularly now and basically useless no matter what I do. Unacceptable for ‘new’.

Easy to start and maintain. Has enough power for most residential use. Better than my Stihl of the same chain size.

This thing is rugged and efficient. It never fails. don't drop your saw, but mine fell from 15 feet. I thought it was done. Picked it up and kept going. I have never used a tougher guy.
