There are very few "bad" saws sold .. just people using them beyond their (the saws) designed purpose.
I was showin off my new 441 to a frriend last night and he claims that his 455 will out cut it in 18 in. hedge I think he is full of :censored: but he is sold anothe friend said it isnt any faster than his 290 so i thin that answers the question oh well doesnt it take all types to make the world go round
also isnt there a nice pic of a cracked platic case in an earlier thred from a 455
NEVER buy power equipment from a place that doesnt work on them
say what you want about the 455 rancher. it gets the job done. it pulls a 3/8 chain and 20" bar so good its makes a lot of saws weap.
you can cut hellza wood with it.
Helza wood? Is that anything like madrone? And didn't we used to have a member on here who milled with a 455? What the heck was his name....I think I've blocked it out.

SAP, PAS, etc (Coveredinsap) but he was a joke!
wait now i was thinking about getting me one of those Alaska mills. i have some trees in my yard i need to take down and i want to build a log cabin.
but i dont think it would hold up to everyday commercial use. Nor would the 350 or the 359.
No way. I would say 24 inch on nothing less than 70 cc. If you want to pull it with any kind of authority. jmho
Imo steady use of a 20" bar is 70cc+ territory.......
Never ran a 455, but my 55 rancher pulled just fine with a 24 " bar, semi chisel chain.Yes on hard wood too.I now have a 20" with a chisel chain and it will eat anything.A 24 " bar is not recommended for anything UNDER 50 cc's
I guess your idea of "just fine" and mine are different. If you had ever used a saw bigger than the 55 with a 24" bar you would know the 55 was never intended to run that big of a bar. I know I own a 55 as well
I have had my 455 Rancher for 3 years now and have never had an issue with cutting what I needed cut. It is a good all around saw but don't expect the performance of larger saws and eat your spinach before running it all day.
