Husqvarna 460 Rancher Chain Saw

When your 450 isn’t big enough, get the 460.  Its the biggest non commercial saw that Husqvarna sells.

I’m still really happy with my 450 but I added the 460 to the fleet when the 450 needed repairs.  The 450 was quite literally pouring oil out the bottom.

The 460 has a few advantages though.  It has 3/8″ pitch chain versus the 450 has 0.325″.  That is a common pitch and it can take a little bigger bite than the 0.325.  The larger engine offers more power and the longer bar (24″) allows for bigger cuts and easier limbing work.

I also made the mistake of purchasing my 450 from a big box store.  While there’s nothing exactly wrong with that, the local dealer was the same price and far more helpful when picking out a saw.
