Are Husqvarna Rancher saws strong enough for big trees?

Reviewer consensus

High-trust r/Chainsaw threads describe the 455 and 460 Rancher as reliable, capable homeowner-to-prosumer saws, but multiple commenters caution that the Ranchers are 'not strong for the weight' and that a 24-inch bar is overkill for the 460's power. The consensus: run a 20-inch bar for best results and step up to a pro saw if you cut large-diameter hardwood daily.
