So, I bought an Granberg Alaskan III and it works like a boss. The 455 has some issues with the 44" bar that came with the sawmill, but the 44" is a bit extreme for any saw. My sawmill has an auxiliary bar oiler, which makes up for the small oiler on the actual saw. Even though there are saw with much better performance I would always buy another Rancher because it has never failed me!

I've had better luck with my 455 Rancher. I cut about 16 cord of firewood per year and have never had it in the shop in the last ten years that I have owned it. I do strip the saw down every year and perform the owner service recommendation in the manual. I have another question posted on getting a non-recommended bar for it because I would like to cut lumber on an Alaskan Sawmill with the Rancher as well. It is too bad to hear that so many people are having issues with this saw, because I have experienced nothing but excellence from mine.
