Felling a tree requires much more than simply whipping out your chainsaw and getting to work on it.
Today's world of arboriculture and forestry is alive with fascinating discussion. And at Husqvarna we are constantly listening and learning. That's why we want to share a space for interesting and relevant content, to help advance the industry and the work of tree professionals.
It can be confusing to know exactly how to clean your chainsaw air filters. Especially if you’ve never done it before! But as the old saying goes, ‘prevention is better than a cure’.
When it comes to the arborist and tree care industry, keeping yourself properly protected is vitally important. Our all-new Spire™ Vent Arborist Helmet was purposefully designed to deliver the ultimate in comfort, safety and style, resulting in our most advanced tree care helmet to date.
When it comes to choosing the best chainsaw for the task at hand, there’s a little more to it than a simple case of, “that’s got a chain, I’ll take it!” Chainsaws come in all shapes and sizes. From larger petrol-powered machines to compact cutting-edge battery models, each provide their own benefits for different cutting tasks.
It’s easy to get carried away once you get your hands on your new chainsaw, forgetting all about safety practices and the need for personal protective equipment (PPE).
Chainsaws are devices that deserve our full respect. They get the job done, but we must handle them with proper care. If you’re new to the cutting game and don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place. We’re sharing everything you need to know to get started with your first chainsaw.
There’s nothing worse than a dull chainsaw chain. Professionals swear by sharpening their chain regularly, often, after each use. But like any serviceable part, your chainsaw’s chain will eventually wear out and will require replacement.
Using a cross-cutting technique when felling trees not only increases safety but also prevents your chainsaw from becoming stuck. Using an incorrect cutting technique can cause the guide bar to become pinched or the trunk to split when you don't want it to.
For those who live in a temperate climate with plenty of rainfall all through the year, one question keeps cropping up. “Can you cut wet wood with a chainsaw?”
There is more to cutting firewood than simply taking an axe or chainsaw to it.
2019 is the year that Husqvarna celebrate 60 Years in the Chainsaw business! Chainsaws have come a long way from humble beginnings to the powerful and efficient tools they are today. We look back on the history of the chainsaw to the present day to see how it’s evolved.
Chainsaws are among the most efficient power tools around. Few others can move a few hundred tonne of wood with minimal effort. From felling trees to chopping firewood and carving, a high-quality all-round chainsaw is an arborist’s best friend.
Are you ready? Husqvarna has recently released the new 572 XP® chainsaw to the New Zealand market and I have to admit; it is one hell of a hungry beast.
In years gone by, chainsaws were only available with a two-stroke engine. However, with advancements in lithium battery technology, there are now a multitude of battery powered and petrol powered variants. Both types of chainsaws have their own advantages, which may be preferable to some more than others.
Often owners of a new chainsaw become concerned that their new pride and joy is leaking bar and chain oil because they see a pool of oil underneath the saw where it has been stored.
The new Husqvarna 572 XP®, designed from scratch to be tough enough for even the most demanding job: stronger, lighter and more manoeuvrable.
Unlike a four-stroke engine, a unique feature of a two-stroke engine is that they do not have an internal oil reservoir. Instead, two-stroke engines require the owner to mix oil into the fuel at a predetermined ratio in order to ensure the engine receives adequate lubrication during operation.
The art of chainsaw carving is elaborate and exhilarating. This form of carving became renowned in the 1980s after a world championship competition in the United States. Since then, chainsaw carvers have been constructing intricate designs resulting in truly unique and one of a kind pieces.
At Husqvarna, we’ve worked hard to learn what defines comfort in professional forestry and logging, how it can be improved, and what type of comfort is needed in each part of your workday.
Clean clothes are safe clothes. Your protective clothes are regularly exposed to sweat and oil — substances that may reach the protection layer and reduce its function.
Husqvarna protective clothes are available in many different sizes, to fit all types of loggers and challenges. We have created the size guide below to help you. Take a few moments to check your body measurements against the guide to find your right size.
The smart Combi Can features two separate containers that have been designed to achieve an optimized fuel and chain oil ratio (5.0 / 2.5 litres), making it the ideal companion when working with two-stroke engines. The fuel level window provides a clear view of the remaining fuel and oil in each container.
WLC, the World Logging Championship, is arranged every two years when professional elite loggers from around the world compete in five different events: precision felling, changing saw chain, precision sawing with two different methods and limbing.
Lars is a multiple medalist at World Logging Championships (WLC) and has more than 30 years of experience in logging. With such expertise, it’s no wonder he is Team Husqvarna’s 2016 WLC coach.
Anton is part of the team of competitors who are under 24 years of age. See what he has to say about his chances at this year’s World Logging Championships (WLC).
Tagging along with professionals as they test Husqvarna products in real environments is the most exciting way to see if our efforts have paid off. In the case of the new X-Cut saw chain, however, the excitement may have been mixed with a certain nervousness on the part of the test managers. Would this totally new product for Husqvarna gain the acceptance of hard-working loggers and arborists?
The Husqvarna X-Cut is the world’s first original Husqvarna saw chain. It’s designed for a single purpose: to optimise the performance of your Husqvarna chainsaw – and thereby maximise your output. This is how it works.
For the first time, there are original Husqvarna saw chains, and they are made where it all once started – in Huskvarna, Sweden. Why, you might wonder. Well, the story actually starts at the end. Through all our research and development, making your output the highest possible has been the overarching goal.
If you want to get the most out of your chainsaw, it’s important that you choose the saw chain that is exactly right. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
The Husqvarna 562 XP chainsaw was developed for professionals who want to work with the best possible in power and efficiency – and stay safe while doing it. Here are some of the innovative solutions that make it possible for this machine to better your business.
Looking to prune bushes, or to cut down trees? When buying a new chainsaw the most important thing to consider is how you will use it.
Families trapped in their homes. Trees coming straight at you while working. As a firefighter in frequently storm-hit Mississippi, Woodman Speights has plenty of experience working with chainsaws in tough conditions. Like the dangerous task of storm cleanup – something that should only be done by trained professionals. “I’ve seen some serious damage,” he says.
When working with chainsaws, limbing is usually the operation that requires the most time and effort. In other words you have a lot to gain by learning a good technique.
When it comes to safety clothing and equipment, different rules and regulations apply in different countries. But no matter where you are, this list of items will enhance your safety when working with chainsaws.
Remember when you were a child and climbed trees? Some people keep climbing and become arborists. And some of them become the best in the world. One of those super pros is Kiah Martin, a world champion winning arborist based in Melbourne. This is her story.
The forest is too valuable not to be thought of from a long term perspective. Because of this, tree care and nature conservation not only should, but always must be a part of modern forestry.
Believe it or not, but “how do I start a chainsaw?” is a common question (or at least a frequent Google search) amongst chainsaw users. In this guide we’ve put together some tips on how to get your saw ready to perform.
Things move quickly when a team is felling trees and cutting branches along a power line corridor. It's a tough job that requires high precision at all times. Gerry Breton, Safety Director at Lucas Tree Experts, decided at an early stage to invest in Husqvarna saws with the unique chain brake TrioBrake. It proved to be a profitable investment. Chainsaw user Bill Raleigh and his colleagues are now working smarter – using better working techniques and working more safely and ergonomically.
It's a warm, dry, remote location high in the mountains. Big trees are felled here at a rapid rate on the steep slopes. It's a tough environment that makes great demands on both the loggers and their machines. Jaime Wagenfuhr and his son Graham are enjoying every minute. Using chainsaws with the self-adjusting carburettor AutoTune allows them to work unhindered and efficiently – at all altitudes and at all temperatures.
The chainsaw needs regular servicing to perform at its best and last for a long time. Here’s a guide for the things you can take care of yourself.
The difference between a good chainsaw and the best chainsaw for your specific need can be significant. We know which factors matter when you decide which saw is your perfect fit.
