Putting the Husqvarna 450 to the test...

When we all ended up in Monarch staring up at a 70' blue-stain pine, the Husqvarna 450 Chainsaw looked a little- puny for the task at hand. This was a horrible assumption as you can see from the photographs below.

The Husqvarna Rancher 450 chainsaw packs a real wallop, if you'll allow me to usurp a colloquialism. It's a 50.2 cc, 3.2 HP made for all-around usage. While we cut down, limbed, and sectioned a huge tree this chainsaw works just as well on broken fence, railroad ties, or any other everyday usage typical on properties here in the Northwest.

You can learn more about the specifics of the 450 Rancher on our product page, here.

Another cool product spec that was directly related to our little outing in Monarch is the air injection in this chainsaw versus other chainsaws. It has a centrifugal air cleaning system that removes larger dust and debris particles before reaching the air filter--this is true across many different CC's, so be sure to check the specs on the saws you are looking at to find out more.

What's that mean? It means you can take this chainsaw out and chop down huge trees and expect a long, full life from your equipment because with the system that comes on the Husqvarna 450 Rancher, you have less air filter cleanings and an improved engine life.

So Hunter, (pictured below) can come out again and chop down a few more dead trees! (That's funny because he was the youngest in the group and did all of the work. He, like I, thought the "shoot" was going to be staged, and not the real-deal Sam set up for all of us out in Monarch. Luckily, despite his young age, Hunter was an expert and gave us all a lesson on how to fell a tree.

If you have fallen trees, busted fence, anything like that then the 450 model from Husqvarna is a great option for you, but there are still more options of chainsaw brand, and each has its own place on our shelves.
