I own the 450 and the 455, I can tell you that the 450 is no slouch and its hard to tell any difference in power, It is just more pleasurable to use because of the weight, And I'm old and it makes a huge difference. I bring a few saws to the mountains so I have sharp chains at the ready, But I use the 450 as much as I can due to the fatigue factor.
Just bought myself a 450. Very pleased with it but couldn't figure out why my choke wouldn't stay out. Didn't realize u had too push it up after u pull. This helped. Thanks!
My uncle is a Vietnam veteran he fought with the ninth infantry in 69-70 he is an old ground pounder. Nobody talks about Vietnam anymore, I enjoy talking with him about his year in nam when he feels like it. Today they were here in my house him and his wife helped me burn brush. He told me burning brush with diesel fuel brought him back to nam. He said they did that a lot.
I just bought the 450. My other is a Model 51 Husq which is about 30 years old and still going. One is used primarily to cut out the other when it gets pinched because I misread the tension issue. I'm glad there was a special on which included a square case, as well as an extended warranty to 5 yrs after buying premixed fuel to begin the saw's happy life!
I've had a 450 for about 12 yrs now. LOVE IT. Absolutely love the start/choke combo. Very convenient and not having to touch it again for restarts is awesome from the auto return kill switch. Did have to replace oiler w one from 455/460 when I put the 20" on it. Wouldn't cut it even cranked way up on adjustment
The 455 Rancher is a good reliable saw and one of the most popular saws Husqvarna has ever made. But I wouldn't be surprised if they give it some kind of makeover to help it compete better with the Echo CS-590 Timberwolf. Might be a long shot, but you never know.
The CS-590 Timberwolf has been gobbling up market share for Echo for a few years now and helping open the door for sales of quite a few other models of Echo equipment. It's been a smart move on their end to keep it at that price point.
The good choice is the Husq 450, IMO, and I bought one a few weeks ago. Not because of the lower price but because it's much lighter than the 455 (but sturdy) and almost as powerful. The perfect all-around chainsaw. No doubt for me, if you're not a professional and want an all-around chainsaw, go for the 450. The 455 is just 8% more powerful but is 22% heavier ! Less than 5 kg is much better than 6 kg, believe me ! But if you don't mind carrying hours long a 6 kg chainsaw, you'd better go for the 460 rather than the 455 ! Actually, the 455 has no reason to remain in the catalog.
The "good choice" is whichever a person prefers. Just being lighter doesn't make the 450 better. But I suppose weight is an important factor for limp-wristed folks.
@@nodak81 yuppp people don’t understand how much better built the 455 is compared to the 450. They’ve never ran a stihl 661 or 880 before I can tell, now those are heavy saws. I can definitely tell it when I’ve lugged one of them around all day. The 661 ain’t bad at first but that 880 is just a heavy bitch
@@nodak81 Ive been climbing trees for almost 30 years. Having a saw lighter and narrower makes a difference 100 feet up chunking out a top. Do this test. Get a 445 and a 450. Tune them both. The 445 will smoke the 450. I dont know why. It just does.
I just bought the 450, first Husqvarna and I love it. Although I'd feel a bit better had the factory put the chain on properly. Backwards doesn't cut very well lol.
I tuned my 455 and opened it up. I run a 24" bar and cut bigger trees no problem. And had it for 7 years now. I love that saw. So you can tune if you know what to do. It's possible. Good info you give though
I have a 440, a 450, and a 372. The 440 on the limbs, 450 on the bigger stuff and the 372 on the main trunk over 18 inches. I love my Huskys! Friends dont let friends Stihl.
I've used a 450 rancher with 20" bar for the last 10 years that I bought new, it was the older model with decompression valve on top and has the old style fuel and oil caps. I also have a 460 rancher that I've used with a 24" bar. I grab the 450 every time over the 460 and it seems to cut much better with the 20"bar vs the 460 with the 24" bar. It cuts quicker and rips right through compared to the 460 and also weighs a lot less and you can use it all day without getting tired. The 460 needs more maintenance also and burns through fuel a lot quicker. I usually only use the 460 when I need the bigger bar.
I have both and my 455 is the go to for bigger trees, 450 is great for limbing and smaller trees. On mine the 455 has much more power than the 450. In general if you're not using this saw daily, the 450 should be the choice if you're talking only one saw. My 450 has the compression release and both saws crank easy, the 455 does weigh more and will show at the end of the day, but it will also cut through bigger wood without helping it.
The 450 walkes all over the 455 . Remember the 455 has 3/8 pitch chain wich takes more power to run so the extra horsepower of the 455 is a wash . I run arbor max narrow kerf bars wich is even more of an advantage, i think the new 450's even come with narrow kerfs . The coil design is not a problem I've been using mine on a semi professional level for awhile now with no problems. Im a climber i do residential removals my 450 sees more use than the average firewood guy . The 450 is cheaper , bars are cheaper , chains are cheaper and its lighter , why the 455 exists i dont know . Some one said the oiler stripes out if you cut in extreme cold , not true ive cut plenty in below zero F° just use winter bar oil . When customers ask me i say get a 450 if you realy think you need a bigger saw skip the 455 and get a 460 , it's th same power head just a different cylinder and piston, same size , same wieght, more power . A 460 with a 24 " bar will do things the 455 and the 450 won't......just sayin .
When they came out with the 450 Rancher it immediately cut down on the sales of 455 Ranchers based on price alone. But then after people started using them and seeing how well they run, it really started cutting down on 455 sales. Now with the price increases it's going to make the 455 Rancher an even tougher sell over the 450 Rancher unless they do some kind of rework on the 455 to make it more appealing
I was in the "Orange" big - box store today. And could NOT decide on which one of these saws to purchase. I've decided now (after reviewing here) that I'm going w/450. I won't need the extra lbs or width accompanied w/455. Idk, how much it's a factor. But, didn't you mention that the 450 had a better air intake? It appears the hp difference, is minimal, at best. Personally, I welcome the 450's fuel indicator. Also, prefer easier access to the air filter, spark plug, etc. All things considered, it's a relatively easy choice. Especially, in knowing that I'm keeping extra Benjamin. 💯 Great video !
I hear a few people say to go with the 450.. and throw a 18" bar on it.. makes it just a bit lighter and it's a beast! guess it depends on what you are cutting? might try both? I just now bought and ordered the 450 rancher! so I'm excited...lol can't wait. the poulan is going to have to sit out a while..
Congratulations on your purchase. The 450 and 455 are both good all-around saws so you can't really go wrong with either one. But with the lower weight, lower price, and close to the same performance as a 455, the 450 is a great deal.
GET THE 450. I have both and have beat my 450 hard for years and it runs like new. Much lighter than the 455. it’s the perfect saw. I love it to death cuts like crazy with a sharp chain too
Ok now I'm very confused. I bought the 455 but it has all the features you describe on the 450 but with the 450 price. Just got it today. Had to order it online there at The Tr Sup. I'm wondering if they messed up on their website with the wrong saw/description.
*The 450 Rancher costs $429 at Northern Tool right now. I just lucked out and picked up a complete "parts unit" 450 Rancher for $25 on offerup. Got it home, cleaned it up real good and saw ended up just needing the carb cleaned and tank vent replaced. This saw runs good now so for $25 I couldn't be more happy with it, even came with the oem Husky Farm Tough 20" bar and chain.*
A 445 has more power than both of them. But 455 has an oiler adjustment. And a sticker that says 455. The 455 is more suitable for a larger bar (update) i rebuilt my 445. It said 445 on the pull start,but it was a 450. Had a 44mm cylinder and piston. Must have been a 3rd shift monday build. Or someone at the saw shop trying to get a 450 at the 445 price
Go to your local dealer and ask about husqvarna's new x-cut chains , they are awesome! ! My rancher 455 is one year older than yours and going strong! I have six oregon chains for it so I'm good on chains but if I were to need new ones I would get the new x-cut for it. I have 4 for my 572xp and they rock!
Look at your bar, it should tell you what you need. It will tell you if it it is 3/8ths. The with of the chain. Probably 0.050 and how many drive links.
Just today I ask Husqvarna that very question if it would be ok to use a 24 inch bar on the 455 and they said what year and I said its new today 3/20/23 and they said yes it would be fine so not sure if anything has changed ?
Your US dollar amount should be $773. The saw, shipping and 5% import duty. Then you have another 10% in Australian sales tax. The US dollar is worth 40% more than the Australian dollar.
I have the 450 Rancher and I double checked the model air filter on top kill switch is with the choke but I also have the compression release switch on top of head and special caps for gas and oil weird I know that.s why I checked model 325 chain had 20 in bar on it.
I'm only considering buying one of these saws because I can put it on my tractor supply credit card but this is just so weird to me the comparisons why would you not have new style stuff on the more expensive saw . . . I will probably go with the cheaper one anyways because I don't like 2 switches for the choke
There is only 1 lever for the actual choke on the 455. The other lever is the stop switch. It is a more durable setup. Same way for the fuel/oil caps. I know these 2 saws are both labeled as "Rancher," but the 450 is more of a Average Joe saw for the homeowner who cuts a couple of loads of firewood a year. The 455 is more geared towards the guy who is using the saw as part of his daily way of life. i.e. the farmer or "Rancher" Both are very capable saws, for what they are. Ultimately you need to decide which is right for you. Good luck.
I have a 450 and a 455. I like the 55 on big logs seems to cut better use the 50 on limbing to 15" material. Wish the 50 had adjustable oiler usually run winter grade oil in both so gets to the bar better. Love both saws dad's 290 still is no match for either one
I have the 450 It don't say rancher but it's identical except for I have the old style gas caps and I have a decompression valve on mine and it's a 450
I have a serious genuine question, is the older 455 Rancher different than the new 455 Rancher. Have they changed any in last few years or all of them the same exact technology. I'm really needing to know this
im not 100 percent sure but i have a newer one and it didnt have the baffle in the muffler the older ones have also husqvarna website says max bar 24 inches where alot of the older videos say 20 inch max bar i run the 20 inch but i wouldnt hesitate to put a 24 on it i mostly cut maple cherry oak and pine .i try to keep the rpms high and not push to hard and dog it down and it cuts very well and is super easy to start
I can't sat whether or not the 455 Rancher has changed, but I have new 450 Rancher I purchased during the Black Friday sale at Tractor Supply Co, and one I've have for about 6 or 7 years, and the older one has the compression release and the standard fuel and oil fill caps, whereas the new one has the flip-up caps and No compression release valve. I can interchange the bar and chain though. I'm glad that didn't change.
compared to the old 455 rancher, the new 455 saws are absolute junk. I bought a new 455 3 years ago to replace my old one that I used for 20 years. If I had kept the old one I would have rebuilt it and throw the new one in the trash.
hard to know which is more disturbing, the fact that u compared 2 saws without putting them to work or the fact that nearly everybody in the comments was fine with that.
The Echo CS590 is a market share eater. The price draws people in, and those saws just run and run and run! The competition has nothing to compete with the performance of the CS590 for that price.

Not a chainsaw nut but more than happy with my 455, does everything I need it to!
My 450 has a decomp valve. It is a 2014 model and I love it.
Is yours labeled "Rancher" or is it just 450? Good saw for sure though been a very popular model for a few years now
@@EshlemaniaTV Yeah, mine is about 6-7 years old and just says "450" but also has the decomp valve. I love mine and I'm 78 yrs old.
same here.... mine is labeled "Rancher". Decomp valve and single kill/run/choke switch, single bar cover nut....
I've had a 450 for about 12 yrs now. LOVE IT. Absolutely love the start/choke combo. Very convenient and not having to touch it again for restarts is awesome from the auto return kill switch. Did have to replace oiler w one from 455/460 when I put the 20" on it. Wouldn't cut it even cranked way up on adjustment
I own the 455 Rancher and honestly I think it aestheticly looks good. I own 2 Stihls (MS 361, 261) and the Rancher is my favorite to use.
The 455 Rancher is a good reliable saw and one of the most popular saws Husqvarna has ever made. But I wouldn't be surprised if they give it some kind of makeover to help it compete better with the Echo CS-590 Timberwolf. Might be a long shot, but you never know.

@@EshlemaniaTV I've owned echo equipment since the early 2000s I was sold on them when I bought a little cs 305 back then

After running a 450 for a while and then picking up a 455 it really makes the 455 seem bulkier than it actually is just because of that extra weight.
The 450 is only 2 lbs lighter then the 455 got a little bit more durable features I went with the 455

hey just looking at buying a 450. I read reviews that the chains come off due to the single bar bolt. Comments?
I was in the "Orange" big - box store today. And could NOT decide on which one of these saws to purchase. I've decided now (after reviewing here) that I'm going w/450. I won't need the extra lbs or width accompanied w/455.
Idk, how much it's a factor. But, didn't you mention that the 450 had a better air intake? It appears the hp difference, is minimal, at best. Personally, I welcome the 450's fuel indicator. Also, prefer easier access to the air filter, spark plug, etc. All things considered, it's a relatively easy choice. Especially, in knowing that I'm keeping extra Benjamin. 💯 Great video !
just got 2 more 455s saws for our firewood buisness my son loves the 455
They are good solid reliable saws.
They are a legend!
I own a 21 serial 450 rancher and love it for what I have… I wanted the 455 rancher but the weight difference was what sold me on the 450
Thanks for the feedback! Lowering weight to make saws more maneuverable seems to have become the mission of all manufacturers these days
This helped. think I’m gonna go with the 450.
Thanks for the feedback!
My 450 works well. It's good for dropping medium to small trees. 35 foot or shorter. 16 inch round trees max.
Awesome job man...you hit all the key points of these two saws...I now have what I need to know...thanks and yes I subscribed...✌😁
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it
I hear a few people say to go with the 450.. and throw a 18" bar on it.. makes it just a bit lighter and it's a beast! guess it depends on what you are cutting? might try both?

The 450 is a beast for most tasks. I just got mine and its a little moody to start but when it does look out trees..lol
I like the 450. So much lighter after a short time seems to spin faster in the cut 16 inch logs its perfect
nice work on this brother appreciate it!

could not done a better job .Thanks
Thanks!
wow machines are so much cheaper in North America esp the US. The 455 is $1290 AUD and 450 is $1135 AUD here in Australia
Odd I just picked up a 450 rancher but it has the decompression also. ?
Check the serial number. Could be pre 2020 build.
What a great video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you 😊
A 445 has more power than both of them. But 455 has an oiler adjustment. And a sticker that says 455. The 455 is more suitable for a larger bar (update) i rebuilt my 445. It said 445 on the pull start,but it was a 450. Had a 44mm cylinder and piston. Must have been a 3rd shift monday build. Or someone at the saw shop trying to get a 450 at the 445 price
Would have liked to see how they cut different wood in different situations.
I have a 455 Rancher, it's at least 15 years old. I'm am struggling to find the correct chain for an 18 in bar. Do you have any information?
Go to your local dealer and ask about husqvarna's new x-cut chains , they are awesome! ! My rancher 455 is one year older than yours and going strong! I have six oregon chains for it so I'm good on chains but if I were to need new ones I would get the new x-cut for it. I have 4 for my 572xp and they rock!
Look at your bar, it should tell you what you need. It will tell you if it it is 3/8ths. The with of the chain. Probably 0.050 and how many drive links.
Just today I ask Husqvarna that very question if it would be ok to use a 24 inch bar on the 455 and they said what year and I said its new today 3/20/23 and they said yes it would be fine so not sure if anything has changed ?
They used to recommend up to a 24 inch bar for the 455 and 460.
Good job
Thanks
I still would like to know why these saws are half price compared to prices in Australia. For the 455 ranger we have to pay AU$ 1289(US$957.12)
Cause they are made here in the us!
Your US dollar amount should be $773. The saw, shipping and 5% import duty. Then you have another 10% in Australian sales tax. The US dollar is worth 40% more than the Australian dollar.
I have the 450 Rancher and I double checked the model air filter on top kill switch is with the choke but I also have the compression release switch on top of head and special caps for gas and oil weird I know that.s why I checked model 325 chain had 20 in bar on it.
I'm only considering buying one of these saws because I can put it on my tractor supply credit card but this is just so weird to me the comparisons why would you not have new style stuff on the more expensive saw . . . I will probably go with the cheaper one anyways because I don't like 2 switches for the choke
There is only 1 lever for the actual choke on the 455. The other lever is the stop switch. It is a more durable setup. Same way for the fuel/oil caps. I know these 2 saws are both labeled as "Rancher," but the 450 is more of a Average Joe saw for the homeowner who cuts a couple of loads of firewood a year. The 455 is more geared towards the guy who is using the saw as part of his daily way of life. i.e. the farmer or "Rancher" Both are very capable saws, for what they are. Ultimately you need to decide which is right for you. Good luck.
455 is an absolute legend! !!!!!
Yes it is
It's my everyday.
Is it that much better than the 450 ?
I'm trying to decide what one to get
Thanks.
I have a 450 and a 455. I like the 55 on big logs seems to cut better use the 50 on limbing to 15" material. Wish the 50 had adjustable oiler usually run winter grade oil in both so gets to the bar better. Love both saws dad's 290 still is no match for either one
I have one also
I prefer the 562
My 450 Rancher came with 3/8 chain on mine.
Same here
I have the 450 It don't say rancher but it's identical except for I have the old style gas caps and I have a decompression valve on mine and it's a 450
I got the 460 rancher just because alot of the time i go for logs about 24 inches in diameter.
Are you a hulkamanic? Just asking due to channel name and font
Thank You !!!
Thanks for watching and commenting
I have a 450 rancher ...it has a decompression valve
Some of the previous year models had that feature.
👍 thanks good vid
Why did Husqvarna make 2 saws so close in comparison?
They actually made a few models that were very close. They made the 445 a 50 cc saw which made it basically the same as the 450.
Good video, but you said it backwards at 5:55. 450 is on the left, not the right
I just bought a 455 and I have a few problems off the rip
I must have gotten a mutant saw about 5 years ago. 450 but it has the decompression button
You got the saws mixed up at 5:55. The 455 is on the right and 450 is on the left. :
The 455 is a more robust saw.
That's the word Kohler likes to use to describe their products.
I have found that the best way to release the clips on my 450 is to use a flathead, HA!
I have a serious genuine question, is the older 455 Rancher different than the new 455 Rancher. Have they changed any in last few years or all of them the same exact technology. I'm really needing to know this
im not 100 percent sure but i have a newer one and it didnt have the baffle in the muffler the older ones have also husqvarna website says max bar 24 inches where alot of the older videos say 20 inch max bar i run the 20 inch but i wouldnt hesitate to put a 24 on it i mostly cut maple cherry oak and pine .i try to keep the rpms high and not push to hard and dog it down and it cuts very well and is super easy to start
I can't sat whether or not the 455 Rancher has changed, but I have new 450 Rancher I purchased during the Black Friday sale at Tractor Supply Co, and one I've have for about 6 or 7 years, and the older one has the compression release and the standard fuel and oil fill caps, whereas the new one has the flip-up caps and No compression release valve. I can interchange the bar and chain though. I'm glad that didn't change.
I have a 440 & 455. I'd rather just have just a 450.
dang where are u finding the 450 for 379?
Every TSC in Ohio pretty much.
They're $439 in Ky at the same store
I sell these and off the top my head i want to add the price for the 450 rancher is $450 now
455 MASTER RACE!
I have one those Cain saw
Cool video - BUT YOU DO NOT NEED TO SAY RANCHER 812 times after every time you say 450-455. Lol
compared to the old 455 rancher, the new 455 saws are absolute junk. I bought a new 455 3 years ago to replace my old one that I used for 20 years. If I had kept the old one I would have rebuilt it and throw the new one in the trash.
my 450 has a decompression valve
The 455 Rancher could use a bit of a make over.
Thats funny they reccomend a 20" bar my 455 came with a Husqvarna 24" bar wonder what happened there
husqvarna website says 24 inch max for the 455 i have a 20 and probably will get a 24
Isn’t that what the sales person is there for? To answer sales questions? Lol
The problem these days is that there are more "warm bodies" than there actual knowledgeable sales people in the power equipment business.
Are you kidding? Salesmen these days don't have a clue. Last time I bought a new car the sales guy didn't even know what engine was in it.
hard to know which is more disturbing, the fact that u compared 2 saws without putting them to work or the fact that nearly everybody in the comments was fine with that.
450=450 hp.
455=455 hp. ?
No lol
I just blew Pepsi out my nostrils. ...... it burns!
445 and the 450 are the same saw
Yeah the 445 used to be 45 cc but then they bumped it up to 50 cc.
Echo cs 590 blows them both away ...
The Echo CS590 is a market share eater. The price draws people in, and those saws just run and run and run! The competition has nothing to compete with the performance of the CS590 for that price.
How much is the Echo cs 590
