Husqvarna 455 Rancher is a superior all-around chainsaw with heavy-duty power and impressive performance. Features LowVib anti-vibration technology for safe, comfortable control. Powered by an X-Torq engine for reduced fumes and fuel consumption.
Design
Side-mounted chain tensioner
Easier access to the chain tensioning device.
Adjustable oil pump
You can control oil flow based on application and weather conditions.
Front handle ergonomics
The front handle is offset by 7° which provides better grip and reduces fatigue.
Quick-release air filter
Easily removable air filter, when you need to clean it or replace it.
Durability
Air Injection
The centrifugal air cleaning system prevents larger dust and debris particles from reaching the air filter. In return, you get improved engine life and less maintenance cleaning the air filter.
Combined choke/stop control
Allows for easier starting and reduces the risk of engine flooding.
Three-piece crankshaft
The centrifugal air cleaning system prevents larger dust and debris particles from reaching the air filter. In return, you get improved engine life and less maintenance cleaning the air filter.
Safety
LowVib
The vibration dampening system called LowVib is present in all Husky chainsaws. Metal springs in the engine suspension reduce vibrations felt by the operator. This allows you to work longer without your hands getting exhausted and it also prevents developing medical conditions.
Inertia activated chain brake
In the case of kickback, the inertia mechanism will stop the chain from running. This significantly reduces the risk of injury.
Felling marks
Distinct, colored marks on the chainsaw body used for aiming the direction of tree fall.
Performance
X-Torq
Probably the best thing about newer Husqvarna saws. It reduces emissions by up to 75% and fuel consumption by up to 20%. You spend less on gas and breathe fewer fumes. It also makes the saw CARB compliant.
Smart Start
Engine and starter design to start the machine quickly with minimum effort.
Air Purge
Makes starting easier by removing air from the carburetor and fuel system.
