If you're a rancher with a seemingly endless amount of medium-duty chainsaw work, or a homeowner with a small acreage that needs to be cleared, or if you're a weekend woodcutter out for a few cords to last through the winter, the Husqvarna 455 Rancher Chainsaw might not be a bad choice as a work-partner. Here's an overview of some of the saw's characteristics and features.
The starting system is cutting-edge and provides for a quick, easy, and reliable start every time the saw is used. The copyrighted Smart Start system has been designed to make for quick and hassle-free starts; no more pulling on the cord over and over again. A big part of the Smart Start system is the AirPurge technology which removes oxygen from the fuel system and the carburetor.
Once up and running, the three piece crankshaft provides for heavy-duty power, and the twenty inch bar makes even the biggest stumps and trunks seem manageable. In order to meet worldwide emissions standards, the X-Torq system keeps fuel consumption to a minimum and reduces emissions levels.
Several design features help to keep your arms and the rest of your body from fatiguing during long days of cutting. The LowVib technology keeps the saw from vibrating too much and forcing you to hold on tighter than you need to; and the ergonomically designed handles make holding the saw a comfortable task.
Longevity is something that makes or breaks a saw's value. This saw has several features that make it easy to maintain and that ensure a long life of hard work. The side access chain tensioner makes it a snap to tighten the chain and thus prolong the chain life and preserve the motor. The adjustable oil pump allows you to manipulate the oil and lubrication to suit the cutting conditions and thus enhance the saw's performance and lengthen its life.
So whether it's a weekend of firewood gathering, or a lifelong of clearing brush and overgrowth on a ranch, the Husqvarna 455 Rancher Chainsaw can handle the job admirably. Keep in mind these features and characteristics as you consider which saw might be the best one for you and your woodcutting jobs.
