There are better Husqvarna chainsaws out there, including pro models like the 372 XP, but not everyone needs or wants a pro-level saw. And the 455 isn’t the worst Husky chainsaw – that title is reserved for the 240! This model has a 55.5cc X-Torq engine, which provides lower fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emission levels to meet the most stringent environmental regulations. The 455 weighs just 5.8 kg, making this a lightweight and well-balanced machine perfect for occasional use. 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.

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

About HusqvarnaBelieve it or not, Husqvarna did not start off by manufacturing any type of garden machinery at all. Instead they were established in 1689 as a weapons foundry supplying the Swedish Armed Forces. During the subsequent years, diverse and varied products have been produced, from sewing machines and cast iron kitchen equipment through to bicycles and motorbikes. It wasn't until 1959 that Husqvarna finally made its first chainsaws and engine-driven lawnmowers. The company's reputation for build quality and durability of product has never been in question. This is probably the reason for their line of professional petrol chainsaws being so popular with forestry workers across the globe. The AIR PURGE system allows for an easy start by pre-priming the carburettor and thereby minimising the number of starting pulls required. Whatever Husqvarna 455 version you have or are looking at buying, know that they’re all decent chainsaws. But keep in mind there are 20 years between the first models and today’s models, so there are definitely some differences in how they look, perform, and feel. 455 Rancher Vs 455 e-series Rancher

Have had a 455 R for about 14 years now and have beat the hell out of it and it has never once broken down. Situated in the same category as the 455 Rancher, Stihl MS291 is one of the best alternatives. Stihl claims the model is a high-tech chainsaw built around one of the new fuel-saving engines. Stihl, one of the biggest competitors to the Husqvarna, this times adds more new features to the MS291 chainsaw. The differences between the versions are nominal. Usually, it means an extra feature that doesn’t really affect the use of the saw. Often, there are minor differences that improve engine emissions and efficiency, or changes to the cosmetic look of the saw. They get dogged on and I think it’s a little unfair. It’s a dependable saw that can pull a 20″ bar. For every ten saws I service locally, 8 of them are 450 series saws and they’ve all been rode hard. The 550 XP is better in every way, but the 455 was a definite improvement over the 350 and it’s great at what it’s supposed to do.

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. Went from a 20” bar to a 16” on my 455. Noticeable difference in performance. Don’t really need the longer bar if cutting 12 to 14″ rounds and the saw seems much peppier.If it’s gunna be a heavy use saw I’d spend the few extra dollars on a 550 or 562 XP. Or find a used XP on marketplace or something. If you already have the 455 run it. They are great saws for firewood. Just won’t stand up to the abuse like like an XP.
