Product Information

Full details

The Husqvarna Felling Wedge 598035801 is an essential tool for professional loggers and homeowners involved in forestry management who need to ensure tree felling precision and safety. Its primary benefit is providing the necessary leverage to guide a tree's fall and prevent the saw bar from becoming pinched during the back cut, though users must be aware that this is a specialized tool requiring proper felling technique and wedges are not a substitute for accurate notch cutting.

FAQs

Can I use this wedge on a chainsaw with a short bar?

Yes, but ensure you have enough clearance in the back cut to insert the wedge safely without hitting your chainsaw teeth.

Is this wedge made of metal?

No, it is crafted from high-impact plastic, which is preferred in forestry to prevent chain damage.

Do I need a special hammer to use this?

A standard felling axe with a flat poll or a dedicated felling mallet is recommended for the best results.

How many wedges should I carry?

For most standard trees, one or two wedges are sufficient, though professional fallers often carry more for larger diameter trees.

Can this wedge be used for splitting logs?

No, this is a felling wedge designed for guiding tree falls and keeping saw cuts open. It is not suitable for log splitting.

Troubleshooting

Wedge bounces back out of the cut

Ensure the felling notch is deep enough and the wedge is placed correctly to support the weight of the tree.

Wedge is difficult to drive in

Check if the saw bar is still binding the wedge; ensure the back cut is deep enough before attempting to seat the wedge.

Visible cracking or splintering on the wedge head

This is normal wear from high-impact use; sand down rough edges to prevent further splintering and replace if the wedge loses structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Prevents chainsaw binding and pinching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required for the Husqvarna felling wedge. Simply ensure you are carrying a suitable hammer or the flat side of a felling axe to drive the wedge into place.

For care and longevity, inspect the wedge surface after each day of work. Remove any wood debris or burrs that may have formed on the striking end due to repetitive hammering. Store the wedge in a dry location away from direct, long-term UV exposure, as extreme sunlight can eventually degrade some types of high-impact plastics. It is compatible with all standard chainsaw sizes, provided the kerf width is sufficient to accommodate the thickness of the wedge.
