Husqvarna 460 Rancher Gas 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

A Beast of a Saw – Perfect for Firewood Business The 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 worked great, I have minimal experience with chainsaws, I owned an entry level one before. I was able to cut down trees with 12” trunks with no problem. I can’t believe how much easier it was compared to my old chain saw. I would highly recommend this chain saw, don’t bother with smaller or cheaper ones.

If you want a saw that runs, cuts well, easy to start you can't go wrong. I own nine saws over 20 years and all run great.

Been a absolute best saw I’ve ever owned was extremely the easiest to start and runs great ! I’ve cut up twenty trees with it and still is the easiest to start ever time ! The great price!

I purchased the 460 rancher to replace a 55 rancher that I’ve had for 25+ years. I used the 55 in a professional and homeowner setting and cut thousands of trees and hundreds of cords of wood. So I wanted to stick with Husqvarna. My first impression of the 460 wasn’t great since it looks like everything but the bar is made of cheap plastic. Definitely a change from the 1990’s model of the 55 which has a metal crank case. However, I used the 460 this week to cut about 2 cords of pine/spruce trees. It cut great and fast, even with the 24” bar at 8,000 ft elevation. It started on the second pull the first time and on the first pull every time after. It’s a little heavier than my old 55 but it’s a larger saw. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is all the plastic materials/parts, so time will be the true test.
