Product Information

Full details

The Husqvarna Balance XT2 is a high-performance harness designed for professional forestry workers and landscapers who engage in full-time brushcutting and land clearing.

FAQs

Can I use this harness with non-Husqvarna brushcutters?

While it is optimized for Husqvarna equipment, the universal attachment point allows it to be used with most professional-grade brushcutters.

Does this include the battery carrier?

The harness features integration points for the BLi-X battery carrier system, but the specific battery holder may need to be purchased separately.

How do I wash the harness?

Use warm water and a mild detergent to wipe down the straps. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals that may degrade the synthetic fabrics.

Is this suitable for all-day use?

Yes, it is specifically engineered for professional, full-time forestry and land-clearing tasks.

What is the benefit of the pivoting shoulder section?

It allows the harness to flex and move with your torso as you walk and swing the tool, preventing the harness from digging into your shoulders.

Troubleshooting

Harness feels uncomfortable after short periods

Re-adjust the hip belt to ensure it is carrying the bulk of the weight on your hips rather than your shoulders.

Brushcutter feels unbalanced during use

Adjust the suspension hook position on the harness strap to move the tool's center of gravity until it feels weightless when held correctly.

Shoulder straps sliding during movement

Ensure the chest strap is properly tightened to keep the shoulder pads in the correct position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces strain during long work shifts
  • Pivoting shoulder pads offer superior range of motion
  • Highly durable construction built for professional daily use
  • Excellent weight distribution across the hips and shoulders
  • Modular design supports battery carriers and forestry accessories

Cons

  • Initial adjustment process can be time-consuming
  • Heavier than entry-level consumer harnesses
  • May be overkill for occasional or light-duty home use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Balance XT2, start by donning the harness and adjusting the hip belt to rest firmly on your pelvic bone. Next, attach your brushcutter and adjust the suspension point to balance the machine perfectly when in your natural cutting stance. The harness is fully compatible with Husqvarna BLi-X battery systems, allowing you to mount batteries directly on the back for better center-of-gravity. For care, keep the straps free of dirt and sap by wiping them down with a damp cloth after each shift. Periodically inspect all plastic buckles and metal attachment points for cracks or wear to ensure long-term safety.
