115 13 82-96, 460 Rancher specifications

The Husqvarna 115 13 82-96,460 Rancher is a powerful and versatile chainsaw designed to meet the needs of both homeowners and professionals. This model is particularly well-suited for those who require a reliable tool for light to medium-duty applications, such as tree trimming, pruning, and firewood cutting.

One of the standout features of the 460 Rancher is its impressive 60.3cc X-Torq engine. This engine delivers excellent power while ensuring optimal fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The X-Torq technology minimizes fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to standard engine designs, making this chainsaw environmentally friendly and cost-effective to operate.

The 460 Rancher is equipped with a durable 18-inch guide bar, allowing for a deeper cutting capacity. Coupled with a high-performance chain, it provides smooth cutting performance through various types of wood. The chainsaw’s automatic oiling system ensures that the bar and chain receive adequate lubrication while in use, extending the lifespan of components and improving performance.

User comfort and ease of use are further enhanced by the lightweight design and ergonomic handle. The front handle features an anti-vibration system that reduces fatigue during extended use, allowing operators to work for longer periods without discomfort. Moreover, the chainsaw includes a quick-release air filter that simplifies maintenance, making it easy to keep the tool in top working condition.

Another notable technology in the 460 Rancher is the Smart Start system, which allows the chainsaw to start with minimal effort. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who may not be as experienced with starting a chainsaw, making the tool accessible to a wider audience.

Safety features are also a priority with the Husqvarna 460 Rancher. It comes with a chain brake that automatically activates in the event of kickback, providing an additional layer of protection for the user. The chainsaw is also designed with a throttle lockout, preventing accidental throttle engagement.

Overall, the Husqvarna 115 13 82-96,460 Rancher is an exceptional chainsaw that combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features. Whether for cutting firewood, tackling yard work, or handling forest jobs, this model stands out as a reliable and effective tool in the Husqvarna lineup.
