has the moxie for large logs, used it to replace my old saw 1991, not as big as my old one, but has the power I need, after all, me is not as young as I was.. used saws all my life. doing every thing. last 15 years running sawmill, and da logs were not small, 20 to 30 inch dia. hardwood soft wood, and this saw with 20 inch bar is as good as you can get. if I was logging I'd get a bigger model but one tank a day is about all I use in sawmill and this 50.2 cc has da moxie. easy start is nice, but I don't need it, (yet). If you cut your own fire wood 10 cord or better a year this is the saw for you. Husqvarna has proven its self for years in da woods.

My review is very similar to others I've read here. Out of the box, the saw looked just like brand new. Assembly was easy and straight forward. The saw started right up and ran great for about an hour. At that point it began losing power. I checked the air filter and it was clean, checked the plug and it was in good shape - it had spark. I swapped the plug and the performance was the same - it wouldn't reach full RPM. About a 1/2 hour later, the saw wouldn't restart. Tried changing the plug, etc, and pulled about 100 times - won't kick on the prime. I noticed that the button on the top that I was assuming was a decompression seems to be stuck. $300 paper weight. In the interim, I'm using my Husky 435, which is a great runner. Stay away from the 450, go with the 435.

Fresh gas mixed with the Husqvarna 2-stoke oil according to instructions (mindful of the ethanol content). Husqvarna branded bar and chain oil. I have owned and used many Husqvarna (and other brand) saws in the past 45 years (purchased used) and really was looking forward to my first ever brand new saw. Saw was initially a little hard to start, but it's new and cold, so I thought "no big deal". Once saw was started, it seemed to lack power and would get bogged down rather quickly when trying to block out firewood - granted it was an old oak tree and as large as the guide almost, but my old 359 would slide right through that stuff and more. About 1/2 hour into cutting, the saw just died. It was throwing good chips and I was taking care to not bog it out and keep the chain speed up - but, it just quit in mid cut. I tried to restart it and it would sputter some then immediately die. Checked the fuel and it was low, but not out. Let the saw cool off for about 10 minutes and filled both gas and bar oil back up. Again, attempted to start the saw. Sputter and die was all it would do. Tried to start it for about 1/2 hour (yes, I wore out and the son-in-law gave it a go until he was done and we swapped back...) Start, run 3-4 seconds, sputter and die... Went back up to my shop, grabbed my old, little Husqvarna saw to finish topping out the limbs and give the new, big one time to completely cool off. And again, no go... Same behavior... I did check the compression relief and it was performing as it should. We pulled the cover off and visually inspected the saws' "innards" as best you can in the field like that with nothing to work on... Nothing appeared loose or leaking - it just refuses to run. I'm unsure what to do with this thing now as I called a Husqvarna shop and they just told me to follow the starting instructions exactly every time. Unfortunately, we were doing that to no avail. They told me they would be happy to look at it for a "diagnostic fee that is not covered by your warranty. If, after diagnosis, the fault is found to be with the saw, then the repairs will be covered under your warranty. But the shop time to diagnose is not." I truly hope that this is just an aberration and that this one happens to be a lemon - it does happen. I pray this is not the current state of affairs for Husqvarna. And the warranty - if it can be called as such - really leaves a lot to be desired.Read full review

I live in Miami, Fl and after Irma, no chain saws could be found locally. My felled bottle brush tree was 24" in diameter so I needed a good strong saw. This model has plenty of power and starts easy if you follow the somewhat difficult pictograph instructions. I highly recommend for big jobs or commercial jobs as it could pay for itself in 1 day of use.

I had a Stihl for many years and they are excellent chainsaws. Finally it had enough problems with use that I decided to buy a new chainsaw. I did many reviews and saw that Husqvarna and Stihl are equal in quality and use. I decided to try something new and bought this 450 Rancher on sale on eBay. I have used it three times and it is fautless. Cut into trees like butter. Would recommend highly.
