The Husqvarna 450 Rancher is a great around the house chainsaw it will get you where you need to be for firewood, storm cleanup, and occasional tree falling. The STIHL and ECHO equal to this saw is the STIHL MS 271 wood boss and ECHO CS 490. Great video Cotontop.
If it was my saw, I would have done a much more gentle break in. (E.g. start with some gentle limbing...) Heat buildup (piston/cylinder) is your enemy... What we see in the video is just full open throttle and maximum torque 100% of the time... I don't know for this model, but in the manual for my Husqvarna 353 it says prolonged full throttle should be avoided for the first 10 hrs of the saw life... Appreciate sharing this video, and congratulations with an awesome Husqvarna or "Huskey"! Cheers from Norway! 🇺🇸🇳🇴
Good comment and good points, and I will go further and say a lot of folk believe in the ‘break them in like you'll run them’ philosophy? Every saw should have a minimum ‘warm up’ time, even if it’s just 30 -45 seconds. I prefer a warm up time I’d minute/ minute and a half. I agree with you on the way the saw was run, but the worst thing to do is use full throttle with no load! Chainsaws are meant to turn over at hig speeds, but some variance during break in is good. After running it should idle for a short period, not just shut down. I ‘ain’t no expert,’ but my 345 is still running after 13 seasons! 16 inch bar, and she screams for wood. I’m about to get either this saw, or more likely the 545 Mark II? Stay safe! I’m hoping and praying for y’all over in Europe. I have friends there! Peace
I’ve got an old 455 Rancher setup with 3/8” skip on a 24” bar, great little saw... weighs nothing and sips fuel, perfect for limbing and topping in a landing... Keep em sharp and let em rev, they’ll make ya happy.
Don't like the one bolt too tighten the bar for chain adjustment. The fuel & oil caps are going to brake. Those flimsy flip up tabs too undo and tighten.
@@bombardier3qtrlbpsi What does any of that have to do with CT3 helping new owners be safe? A new user does not need to go out and buy a pro level saw for occasional home use.
Dont understand why they call the 450 a rancher when it's a different body set up then the 455 and 460. I have a 455 rancher for firewood and I love it.
Cool to see one of the Ranchers. I've got a Rancher 440 that i've had for 4 years I think and I like it. I probably only use it about twice a year lol.
I love my new 450 and I live in south Mississippi and have hunted no noxubee a lot and Natchez and used to be in a camp in kemper county but I hunt through desoto and red creek management area now by the house
You know I never saw deer when id have turkey 🦃 in front of me. Thats thanksgiving dinner right there buddy. Josh had a great teacher have a good weekend Tim.
I agree Tim learning a saw takes time I started when I was 14 I'm still not a pro as much as I would like to be but I'm not but I learn what I can and I can say that from what I have watch from your video's I have learned a lot
ppl complain weather its right or wrong to go deer hunting... i used to hunt in PA loved it >Now i live in florida and the deer aren't worth taking they are just to small for me..
I was thinking the same thing when I see the saw shifting around some in the gloves. There are gloves I've used while running a saw here or there, but it was grippy mechanics gloves that were all broken I. To my hands not these one size fits nobody perfect rawhide type ones that shift on your hands somewhere all the time. You can see the gloves and saw move in his hands at times when he goes for the top bar cuts. I prefer just bare paws on the handles. Even when it's snowing and blowing. Can't say my hands ever got cold while running saw. Handling wood, chains, etc while in the process of cutting woods, sure, but never when running the saw.
Well James, if you actually use a saw, the first time you cut your hand, checking the chain for tension, or running over the sharp chain, during handling, maybe you’ll understand. And I’m talking about when the saw is not running. They make gloves for a reason, and chainsaw specific gloves is what you want.
I, for one, don't like getting gas, oil, pitch, and general filth on my hands when I am going to be driving my pickup. I always wear gloves when running my chainsaw.
The point is for him to get some run time with the saw. This isn’t firewood stuff and he wanted to make lots of cuts to get the feel. I hope that makes sense to you.

I just love watching those chips spray off the chain on a top of the bar cut.... that's sticker peckin' out stuff there!
I’m running a 20” bar on mine and I ported the muffler and that made a huge difference
That’s a ripper little saw .
You're doing a great thing there training newbs

Ya it does look like my 340 and 445.
This really helped me!
I have 3 of the 450s ,love them all!! I have mine wound pretty tight though. After breakin they needed some tweekn for my liken. Good saws
Try a husquvarna 455 rancher
Excellent chainsaw learning video!
Keep up the good work
👍
Cool to see one of the Ranchers. I've got a Rancher 440 that i've had for 4 years I think and I like it. I probably only use it about twice a year lol.
LOL! He just wouldn't leave him alone! the turkey...
I liked seeing the turkeys 🦃 even though that Tom was chasing another male lol
Get a cs 4510 on that piece of poplar and you be the judge.

I have one, i would have preferred the blue cheese model, but I got a good price
I have laughed way too much at that turkey!!🤣🤣
I think he was still feeling the juice from the night before 🤣
@@cotontop3 I started to accuse him of being off with Cottonwood!🤣🤣
A stalky turkey:):) Happy hunting Tim:)
Tim, that turkey thinks he's the cat's meow, that's weird how he leans out the direction he's going
One of my saws is a husky 268. I know stihl has altered their model numbers somewhat but these husky model numbers are confusing as all get out!!!!
Duh! I know that one is, I mean the newer ones.
Nice.😆
I agree Tim learning a saw takes time I started when I was 14 I'm still not a pro as much as I would like to be but I'm not but I learn what I can and I can say that from what I have watch from your video's I have learned a lot
140psi Good compresion 372xp oem?
Well I guess she knows now, it’ll be a hard life comin’
Good stuff.
No one is making videos about this saw it's silent but violent cs 4510 takes Husqvarna poulan craftsman K095 bar mount.
I dont think i have ever seen turkeys do that
Great vid loved it learned a few things im new to saws and just subscribed looking for more great vids
ppl complain weather its right or wrong to go deer hunting... i used to hunt in PA loved it >Now i live in florida and the deer aren't worth taking they are just to small for me..
goofy turkey of eyeing on one
How the he’ll anyone can work in gloves has got me buggerd
That’s just something

I don't see how they work in gloves either. My Doctor wears gloves all the time. Why or how he does it I'll never understand.

Stihl is so much better
i like stihls home owner saws better than husky but the pro saws a are neck and neck
U be wrong on that one
Thats a 450E not a 450 rancher...only 1 bar nut on the side cover is a dead giveaway
whats the difference
Umm , the 450 Rancher has only one bar nut, check it out on Lowe’s, or on Husky's site!
Love watching all your videos. Wanted to ask if you have any tips on a husqvarna blower brand new that sometimes doesn't start, thanks. Cheers !
I despise (tulip) poplar trees. Impossible to split by hand.
Dann lieber weiterhin meine 55er
I don't see the point of cutting the little one inch pieces. On all my huskies I just go ahead and cut my 16 or 18 inch pieces

Come on man,get that man a real saw...
Painful to watch.
Not everyone is a pro day one, bud.
