TECHNICAL DATA

Recommended original and replacement bar and chain combinations

Following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for the Husqvarna chain saw model 455 Rancher 460. The combinations of power head, bar and chain have been tested and found to be in accordance with the kickback and vibration requirements of ANSI B 175.1–2000.

The guide bar nose radius is determined by either the maximum number of teeth in the nose sprocket or the corresponding maximum nose radius of a solid bar.

The following list is the chain saw manufacturers recommendations. There may be other combinations available, which will also achieve kickback reduction.

As we are listing the maximum guide bar nose radius, you may use a guide bar with smaller nose radius than in our list. For guide bars of the same length, all sprocket-nose guide bars of the same pitch and having the same number of sprocket teeth may be considered to have equivalent kickback energy. A hard nose bar having the same length and nose radius as a sprocket-nose bar may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy than the sprocket-nose bar.

Bar and chain combinations

Chain saw model Husqvarna 455 Rancher 460 met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B 175.1-2000 when tested with the combinations of bars and saw chains listed below. The saw chains Husqvarna H30, H80 and H81 are also classified as a low kickback saw chain since it met the requirements for low kickback saw chain outlined in ANSI B 175.1-2000. We recommend to use only the listed combinations of bars and chains for chain saw model Husqvarna 455 Rancher. Other chain saw models may not meet the kickback requirements when equipped with the listed bar and chain combinations.

455, 460, 455e specifications

The Husqvarna 460 and 455 series chainsaws are some of the most popular models in their class, recognized for their reliability, performance, and advanced technology. These machines are designed to meet the demands of both professionals and enthusiasts who require powerful tools for cutting firewood, felling trees, or performing tree maintenance.

The Husqvarna 460 is equipped with a robust 60.3 cc engine that delivers impressive power and efficiency. With a power output of approximately 3.6 kW, this chainsaw is capable of handling ambitious cutting tasks with ease. The design of the 460 includes a low-vibration system that significantly reduces operator fatigue during extended use. This is achieved through effective isolating features that dampen vibrations transferred to the user's hands, allowing for more comfortable operation over longer periods.

One of the standout features of the Husqvarna 460 is its X-Torq engine technology. This innovative design reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% while also decreasing harmful exhaust emissions. This is increasingly important for environmentally conscious users, as it allows for a greener operation without compromising performance. The chainsaw is also equipped with an air injection system that effectively removes larger particles from the air before they reach the filtration system, ensuring cleaner air intake and extending the lifespan of the air filter.

On the other hand, the Husqvarna 455 Rancher is another exceptional model known for its versatility and robust design. Featuring a slightly smaller 55.5 cc engine, it offers a solid power output of around 2.6 kW, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks from cutting firewood to clearing brush. The 455 Rancher shares many of the same technological advancements as the 460, including the X-Torq engine and low-vibration technology, providing users with similar benefits in terms of efficiency and comfort.

Both models feature an adjustable oil pump for better chain lubrication, ensuring smooth operation and prolonging the chain's life. Additionally, the easy access air filter and tool-less chain tensioning allow for quick maintenance and adjustments in the field, making them user-friendly choices.

Overall, the Husqvarna 460 and 455 series chainsaws combine power, efficiency, and advanced technology, catering to the needs of both casual users and professionals alike. Their thoughtful design and robust performance establish them as reliable tools in any cutting task, making them a top choice for those in need of high-quality chainsaws.
