455 Rancher running a 33 inch bar? That can't be right...!

[thombat4]

Was looking at an ad on craigslist(of course) Here's exactly what it says:
Husqvarna Chainsaw - $300 (Willoughby)
Good condition, barely used chainsaw w/ case. 33 inch with hard case

Way too much bar for that saw I would think. Even with a mod?

What model saw?

A few jokers on the internet put long bars on small saws and ask big money for them.....

It's 455 Rancher

LOL.

Probably overall length of the entire saw.

Hey I'm actually working on a job up in Willoughby Hills this week. Maybe I'll go see that beast of a 455. Had a friend give me his 455 cause he didn't like it. It's an ok saw.

 

[Stowe Boy]

Nah, that's the overall length...bar tip to end of power head handle.

I sure hope its overall length. If not that's way to much for such a small saw. It would be straining to turn the chain lol

I've got a 27" bar on my 455, running skip tooth chain, because I needed something with a bigger bar and it was all I could afford at the time. It does alright, but I now have an ms660 with a 32" for the larger stuff. I actually used the 455 today to cut some rounds of walnut and hickory. It tore through the 26" diameter walnut rounds fairly well, but was a bit slower on the 22" dia. hickory.

Oh hell yes! I think I heard SawTurd just the other day talking about how light, nimble, and powerful the 455 Rancher was . Hahahaha

Light, yes, nimble, sure, powerful? Not so much, but for the price I have no complaints so far...

Prob'ly not a bad price for a Rancher if it's in good running shape. Check the compression before handing over the dough.

Sadly, many people buy box store saws, work 'em like a rented mule then unload 'em on unsuspecting buyers. The 455 is built for occasional use.

LOL.

A 455 Rancher with a 6:71 Blower sitting on top...

I disagree. I have 2 Ranchers and they have cut a ton of wood without missing a beat. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you.

The Echo 590 and 600p can be bought at a big box store...not a thing wrong with that. With a simple MM and tune, they will give any other 60cc saw a run for their money. Quality built to last a long time as well.

I run a 441CM with 32" bar and it does great. But that is in softwood, never tried it in hardwood.

Totally different saws, duder.
