Husqvarna 460 Rancher Gas Powered Chainsaw, 60.3-cc 3.6-HP, 2-Cycle X-Torq Engine, 24 Inch Chainsaw with Automatic Adjustable Oil Pump, For Wood Cutting, Tree Trimming and Land Clearing

The media could not be loaded. A Beast of a Saw – Perfect for Firewood BusinessThe Husqvarna 460 Rancher has truly exceeded my expectations. It’s powerful, smooth, and incredibly reliable — everything you want in a workhorse saw. As someone who runs a firewood business, this has become my primary saw, and it’s more than proven itself.Before writing this review, I’ve put it through its paces, processing at least six full cords of wood — and it hasn’t skipped a beat. The performance is consistent, the cuts are clean, and it handles larger logs with ease. I swapped out the standard 24” bar for a 28” bar, and the added reach has made a big difference when working with oversized rounds.Whether you’re in the business or just need a serious tool for heavy-duty cutting, the 460 Rancher is a top-tier choice. I absolutely love this saw and can confidently recommend it to anyone who needs power, performance, and durability in one rugged package.

This is my 2nd 460 Rancher. After running them thru hundreds of tanks, countless hrs, prob a thousand trees, they just work. They aren't the speed demons of pro saws, but for every tree that a normal guy will encounter on his/her property it's a great saw. Keep it clean, buy a chain sharpening kit and keep the chain sharp, use the correct gas/oil mixture, read the instructions (and forum posts) if you havent used chainsaws much, and do the simple maintenance (including NOT leaving fuel in it for months at a time) and it'll last you for years. The one thing I'd suggest is to drop the 24" bar and throw a 20" bar on there -> it makes for a much more "usable" chainsaw. I've left the 24" bar on this new one, but I use a 20" bar on my old one. Maybe find or fabricate a set of larger dogs on it, but that's a personal opinion thing. I have a 2 Stihls (one smaller and one larger than the 460) and the Husky works out best for most jobs I do. Stay safe around trees and chainsaws.

I've owned a Husqvarna 440 for 10 years and never an issue. I bought this for clearing larger trees. POWERFUL! I couldn't believe the difference in power but has the same reliability as my trusty 440.

Just got the chainsaw, Tried it for about 30 minutes. Really Love it. Will update later on the performance and any faults it has. Went to register the chainsaw through Husqvarna.com Product number not working. Contacted the seller CPO Outlets. They told me to contact Husqvarna. What the heck.FINALLY got ahold of Husqvarna. HAD to register product under a different product number. But the S/N will be the same on saw. THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE.BUT I LOVE THE SAW. EXCELLANT power on 24 inch bar. On a 20 inch bar it cuts really awesome.I do recommend any person able to get a chainsaw like this. GO TO A REPUTABLE DEALER or go to Husqvarna website.

Works like a Champ!! Runs Great, a bit of a pain to restart but cuts wood. 4 stars because the chain popped off and was ruined, had to buy a new chain. I've cut 15 cords of pulp logs with my Stihl and have never ruined a chain.This thing is Heavy and Heavy Duty, I would buy this again. Between this and my Stihl, I would buy this just because it's cheaper.

Awesome chainsaw. Easy to crank.

This saw is powerful, reliable , easy starting, vibration free and ultra smooth to operate.I am a land owner and use chainsaws regularly. After a viscous storm a neighbor and I were bucking downed oak and firs blocking access to our properties. He was running a husky 460 rancher i another top name brand saw I had been using for a few years.I noticed he was more productive and his machine seemed much easier to operate. To make this review shorter, I had a brief run with his Husky and promptly ordered one that same day. It is absolute awesome in every way. It has reduced my fatigue, improved productivity and increased the fun factor for this ol’ boy.I usually am skeptical about reviews but this is no BS. The Husqvarna 460 Rancher is the most user friendly saw ive experienced.

Can't go wrong with this saw, I had been in need of a solid workhorse for a while to deal with firewood (how we heat our home). My neighbor is a tree climber and always had plenty of free wood.I was trying to get by with an underpowered Poulan saw but it was time to upgrade. Grabbed this one on sale, under $500.At first I was not impressed, seemed weak and not up to the task, however after the 3rd tank I was noticing a difference and by the 6th tank it was ripping S up. Glad I purchased this saw.Be sure to break in properly and only use non-ethanol fuels, mix in small batches to keep your fuel fresh and any that is left over after the season, put in your car (the little bit of oil won't hurt) and mix a new batch.Upon research I learned Husky is faster at the top end speed over Stihl, while Stihl has a bit more bottom end grunt. I was sawing 16-20 inch logs and would rev it up, start the cut and just let the weight of the saw do the work at the high speed, was like butter.This saw is ripping so good I plan to give it a go with one of those Alaskan Mills and see how it does. If not enough I will get a 70-90cc saw for this task.
