The pink Husqvarna Rancher 450 was the prize in breast cancer awareness giveaways.
They ran the promo at least twice. Once in 2013 and again in 2015. So there are at least two of these special edition pink Ranchers out there!
In the comment section of their FB post, someone asked if they could buy a pink 450, to which Husqvarna replied:
No…, these are not available to order, unfortunately. They were designed exclusively to promote Breast Cancer Awareness. Only a handful of them even exist. Truly a treat to the one who wins it!

The second time they ran the giveaway in 2015, they also had this little pink toy Husqvarna Rancher, which I think anybody could buy.
There are multiple pink toy chainsaws on eBay at the time of writing, so these weren’t just a one of thing for a prize.

The Husqvarna 450 Rancher is a decent little homeowner chainsaw. I own one and it’s done reasonably well for the price.
I wonder what the winners did with these rare pink Husqvarnas!
