Lowe's has a "Husqvarna 450 Rancher" with a 20" bar now.
Please note what I wrote: a 450 RANCHER , apparently a new sibling to the 455 Rancher.
I have been unable to find it on Husqvarna's web site. I have called customer service twice to ask how it differs from the 455 Rancher other than the engine being approximately 10% smaller, and both times the service reps put me on hold for about four minutes only to come back and say they don't know. That was yesterday. They're supposed to get back to me by phone or email.
I had gone to Lowe's expecting to buy the 455 Rancher but they had none in stock. I saw the 450 Rancher (20" bar) and asked the Lowe's guys about the differences. They could only do what I did: look at the engine size listed on the box and see that it's smaller. That's the sum of our collective knowledge.
Most significant as far as my curiosity is concerned: Lowe's put the identical price on the 455 Rancher and the 450 Rancher. So I expected someone at Husqvarna to tell me about all kinds of improvements etc. I did not expect them to have no idea about their own product -- even its existence -- at least so far.
Anyone here know about this product?
