Husky 55

[SLR]

i'm at the end of my rope with junk saws..i am ready to bolt for a huskavarna 55 rancher..ANY opinions much welcomed!

[FearThisDeere]

Anything Husky is good IMO.

I have the Husky 350 and I love it. I would recommend a Husky chainsaw any day.

The Husky 55 Rancher is a very good saw. Lots of people on here have them. I have had several Husky's and know own a 359. My farther's a dealer so I get a break on the price. I have tried all other kinds and husky is less weight and more easy to handle. JMO!!!

Somebody I know used to have a 55... not a bad saw as long as you aren't going to use it every day. Good for BS cutting... maybe some firewood, some storm damage, some branches, ties, etc. Long story short it's a landscaper's saw.

LOL'n!..thats quite clever!!...there's a husk 55 ranch for $399 that i'm going to be picking up tommorrow,all shiny an new just siting there awaiting it's new owner.I had to ask the salesman twice,as i could'nt beleive a midsized saw could be mixed at 50:1,sure seems a tinnsy lean,no?
thanks for your responses you beautiful bunch of forum dwellerz!! :)

Bonus question for husky's..does the last two numbers always mean the engine displacement ?
ie:359=59cc
: 350=50cc

We had a 350 husky a year and a half old and it is dead only been used on 8 small to medium sized trees. one medium sized pine didn't finish the pine. The cylinder was scoured won't even start. the longest gas ever sat in it was about 3-4 weeks so that never should have happened. and if they fix it it will cost more than to buy a new one. So husky's are junk in my oppinion. I am starting to get that way with anything that they also sell at lowes,Home depot isn't that great either but atleast they sell a little better products than the poulans and huskyjunkva.

O h yeah it never was very good even new it always took like eight or more pulls to start it. I thought was a compression problem but husky swore it was fine.

That can happen to any saw. You never know if you may get a bad one.

SLR, Are you getting it from a dealer or like Lowe's/ Home depot????? If different send me a PM and I can tell you a few things.

I wish my dad was a dealer. I could be getting a hell of a discount! We run straight Husky and never really had a problem like Dunn did. Must of not cleaned the air filter or didnt put it on right... But we run 338's,340's,359's,372's,and 288's and there all good to us. And the 455 is a good saw professional/homeowner. And just because one sells to Home Depot or Lowes doesn't mean there a P.O.S.
