i thought everyone but the odd member or two here hated those things. i guess those two or three members are doing a lot of bidding!!!

 

[JeffandJess4806]

I have 2, was watching them to maybe off one of mine on Ebay

 

[Brownpot Deaton]

ive used those before and i think they are awesome ..possibly one of the best saws for its size and just feels good and has torque..but thats my opinoion...

also, some of those saws are practically brand new...

 

[mattinky]

It's a very popular saw, and a good one at that, I love mine.

 

[volks-man]

guess i was thinking 455 rancher

 

[Ole Farmerbuck]

guess i was thinking 455 rancher

Must have been. very good saw.

 

[sawinredneck]

guess i was thinking 455 rancher

You were!!
The 55 is a VERY good saw, the 455 is a POS!!!!!

 

[Modifiedmark]

Is there a difference between a 55 and a 55 rancher?

You must be thinking of the :censored: 455.......

Is there a difference between a 55 and a 55 rancher?

I believe that has varied a bit - there has been several different versions of both.....

 

[JeffandJess4806]

I like both mine, I was just thinking about selling one to fund/get another saw maybe the dolmar 5100 my 7900 needs a little sister....LOL

Usually the Rancher comes as a 3/8th set up and the 55 is .325.

 

[Brownpot Deaton]

the rancher is rated 0.1 hp more than the regular...we had both for a while..rancher is a decent improvement tome IMO

 

[Modifiedmark]

Thats nice to know, as I have been thinking about picking up a 55.

I'm still up in the air on the .325 vrs 3/8s thing as to which is better.

 

[mountainlake]

My Rancher 55 was a dog with 375, cuts pretty good with 325, both chiesel chain. Steve

I got a 55 Rancher. Have had it for ten years. Still works great now that I did some maintenance on it. I don't use it as a professional saw just a homeowner.

 

[volks-man]

correct me

ok so i had the wrong saw in mind. wasn't trying to ruffle any husky feathers. my apologies.


lets see if i have this straight now. concerning the first number in husky saws:

no number in front i.e. 55 = good saw
first number is a 1 = bad saw
first number is a 2 = good saw (older pro saws?)
first number is a 3 = good saw (current pro saws?)
first number is a 4 = bad saw
first number is a 5 = jury is still out on these (new epa pro saws?)

is this fairly accurate? be nice to know for future refernce.

Yes and no.
There are a few 1 series that are good saws, Troll knows the models I don't remeber, bu not many.

About all of the 2 series saws where good runners.

There are a couple of turds in the 3 series, but for the most part very good.

The 460 seems to shine in the 4 series as a good bang for buck saw, but they are scarce!

The jury is still out on the 5 series, but that is what they will all be going to eventually.

It's very confusing, the "XP" denotes a pro saw except the "XX" saws. The 353 is built like a pro saw, but not labled as an XP, the 359 is the same way.

There are NO pro saws in 4 series as far as I know.

The 570 and 575 are built like the MS290-MS390 and 6400 and 7900 saws. It's the same crank case with a different jug and carb on it. So they are both built like a pro saw, but the 570 isn't labled as so.

Good and confused? Clear as mudd?:monkey:

clear as brown crystal. so, did i nail the part where i guessed that 2 series used to be the pro line?
also, 5 is going to be the new pro line?
