Hi there is that time of the week again, this week I’m going to do a slightly opinionated review. On the Husqvarna 455 rancher 55.5cc medium sized chainsaw. First of all if you have read my first blog post you may know that this is the chainsaw that I bought from Lowes just over a year ago. And it blew up about a month ago out of nowhere. I kept the fuel mixture just right and I didn’t change the brand I used all I run in all of my saws is Stihl ultra high performance. For the most lubrication in the cylinder and I never ran it too hot. One cold day this last past winter I was cutting with it I had just shut it off and let it sit for about ten minutes. I started it up again and ran it for about 10 minutes and then I hear a loud bang. And a jolt on my hand that hurt what happened was the piston froze inside of the cylinder and broke the bolts that hold the jug on. It shoved the jug out of the plastic case and into my hand. So the next day I took it back to Lowes and they told me that I had used it commercially and they would not take it back. But if you want to know more about that just read my first blog post because that is what it is about. The husqvarna is not a terrible saw it has a powerful 55.5 x-torque motor. An excellent chain brake system and oiled very well. I just had bad luck and I don’t want it to happen again.
