Good choice of saw. I use this each fall to haul out 27 truck loads of firewood. Mixed - oak, cedar, pinot and pine here on the Navajo rez; no troubles - good saw

I have a Husqvarna 460 Rancher that I use mostly for cutting fire wood, and I also use a 20" bar. It's a real work horse. Other than sharpening/replacing the chain once is while, it has never given me any problems at all. Starts right up and runs perfect with just one or two pulls every time. I've had other brands of chain saws, and the Husqvarna in my opinion, is hands down, the very best compared to any others. I use nothing but non-ethynol gas, and Husqvarna full synthetic 2-cycle oil. My choice of chain is the Oregon saw chains. I'm not a professional either. Just an old man with a job to do as quickly and easy as I can. The saw is a very tough and reliable work horse.I'm not!

I run a 460 rancher with a .058 24in bar fitted with a skip tooth chain love it for firewood and trail cutting

I've put my 460 through a couple years of hard work with the 24. Also have done a lot of milling with it. Its never bogged down on me. It fights the whole time your finger is on the trigger. I say buy one if you can afford it. It won't disappoint.

I like the 24" bar simply because you don't have to bend over as much when limbing and bucking. That's a big deal when your back is not the best.

Great review--thanks! I got my first chainsaw early last summer for a wind-blown oak. It's a Husquvarna 440e, which is a 18" 40cc homeowner saw. I now have a couple big oaks to cut, and the 440e is too small. I'm planning to get the 460 to cut those bigger oaks, and your review was very helpful in confirming it will work ok there.

Great video, I agree with everything you said. The 460 is the largest in constant production like you said. The 465 is only made in limited amounts every couple years.

I’ve had the 460 for a year now and probably cut about 6-8 cords and a ton of smaller stuff. I use the 24 inch bar for the big stuff but I have a 20 and 18 inch bar. I mostly keep the 18 inch mounted and it is a powerhouse with that bar on it. I can down some pretty big trees even with that smaller bar just because I have the extra power. Additionally, if feels a little bit safer and of course it is is lighter. Being in my 60s, that makes a difference, when I’m limbing stuff up, I’ll I’ll use the 18 inch for the big branches but for small stuff I just use my axe.

I think for the price this is the ideal saw for me thank you for the review gonna have to buy me a Christmas gift !!!

I've had mine for 10 years and have used it a good bit and I've always used a .03 ratio of oil to gasoline instead of the .02 oil to gasoline ratio that Husqvarna recommended I think that has helped fires up real good.

I have 2 460s and am very happy with them. I cut one seed cedar and pinon with a 24 inch and use skip chain with them. I use them 4 days a week cutting fire wood and fence posts. I live in NM and have no hard woods where I live.

I use a 24, and I’ve never had a problem. But I’m in South Texas and we don’t have a lot of big hardwood trees here. Mostly just cleaning brush around here. This saw will last years of taken care of properly and not using for daily pro use.

I run a 24 on my 50cc 545 Mark II Husqvarna that thing cuts like a dream got to use good chains and keep them sharp they will not bog down and cutting timber my whole life

The other reason is with a 20 inch bar you get a better chain speed and a better pull through the wood due to less chain to throw and then pull around the extra 4 inches i got one just for cutting 20+inch white and red oak the 445 is the medium size saw I run for everything smaller and I have a sthil ms 180 as a pruning saw and those 3 seem to be the perfect arsenal I cut a chord a week of dropped trees

I beg to differ my friend. This saw is fully capable of milling blue oak hard wood. I guarantee it. Plenty of power but limited to 24 inch bar, however it is capable both vertical and horizontal saw milling. Highly reliable as you said and easy to use. As most saws, cuts like butter with a sharp chain.

love my 460,keep the videos coming

I have one and I got alot of firewood. Mine also has 24" bar and it does great. Love it

Great info, thanks a lot for helping me make up my mind 👍🏼

I have a 28 on it and I Mill lumber with mine and it pulls just fine I keep the chain sharp and I have no issues

I have a 460 and it has been great. I have run a 24” bar on it for years with no trouble and like you said it always starts I love it. However it was not the largest rancher they made 465 was with a 28” bar stock. I ordered one but it was out of stock at the time.

Good video, I been considering the 460, my old 455 is good but I'm needing an additional bigger.

Lowes has a smoking hot deal on this saw right now $429.00 and 5 year warranty if you buy some husky brand premix.

Cant wait to get mine!

I’m thinking of upgrading to this from a 450e 20”.

Tractor supply dream saw for the house. We have one and it’s the bees knees. Be careful. It’s a dirt bike engine with a sword attached.

My 460 rancher has been excellent on our farm.

Wow it looks brand new. You got 6 month of use. How you got it look brand new

If your gonna run the 24" and actually cutting 20" or bigger wood then to go with a skip tooth chain.. it does well.

How much for that saw whit the 24 bar

Great review thanks cheers 🍻

Id agree with what you say. The cs590 is more impressive than this saw. Its got more balls than this. But is very close. Id take the 590 over this as much as I'd not like to. I'll keep both and bounce them both against each other. But the 590 wins again. Just my opinion.

Did your chain tensioner max out on this 460 rancher? Did you put the chain tensioner kit on it?

No doubt the 460 is a very good saw (like any Husqvarna I assume) but I went for the 450. The 460 is only 12% more powerful but 1 kg heavier.

I just bought one and I noticed after about 10 minutes when I have it running a little black oil seaps through the sides of the muffler. I am using the husqvarna 50:1 premix thats all I have ever ran in it. I have used about 2 tanks so far I hope that is normal for this saw. any comments on my question would be great thanks.

I have a 455 with a 28'' bar and it will cut all day on 36" diameter trees !!!!
