Product Information

Full details

The Husqvarna Felling Wedge (598035802) is a professional-grade forestry tool designed for arborists, loggers, and landowners who need precise control when felling trees. Its primary benefit is providing safety and efficiency by lifting the tree in the intended direction of the notch and preventing the chainsaw guide bar from becoming pinched during the back cut. While highly durable, users should note that as a plastic-based tool, it is designed to be struck by an axe or sledge and will eventually show signs of wear or surface marring, which is normal for this application.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this with a metal hammer?

It is recommended to use a wood-headed axe or a specialized plastic-headed mallet to prolong the life of the wedge.

Is this wedge safe if my chainsaw hits it?

Yes, because it is made of high-impact plastic, it will not damage your chainsaw chain like a steel wedge would.

How many wedges should I carry?

It is professional practice to carry at least two wedges to handle larger trees or to use in tandem if one is not providing enough lift.

Can I use this for splitting logs?

No, this is a felling and bucking wedge. It is not designed to generate the force required for splitting firewood logs.

What does the model number 598035802 refer to?

This is the specific Husqvarna part number for this model of felling wedge, ensuring you get the authentic high-impact plastic specifications.

Troubleshooting

Wedge will not stay in the cut

Ensure the felling notch is deep enough and you have cut a sufficient depth into the trunk to create a stable resting point for the wedge.

Wedge is difficult to drive in

Check if the kerf (cut) is wide enough. If the chainsaw is already pinched, you may need a second wedge or a chainsaw-mounted lift.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Protects expensive chainsaw bars and chains from binding
High-visibility material makes it easy to locate in brush
Constructed from durable, high-impact plastic
Lightweight and easy to carry in a logging belt or kit
Safe to use; will not damage a chainsaw if the blade strikes it

Cons

Will eventually wear down with repeated heavy use
Not suitable for extremely large diameter trees without proper felling techniques
Requires an axe or sledgehammer to drive into the wood

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure longevity, keep the striking surface free of excessive debris. While the high-impact plastic is robust, avoid using a metal hammer if possible, as it can cause premature splintering of the impact head; a wood or plastic-headed mallet is preferred. Regularly inspect the wedge for deep cracks or chips. If the wedge becomes heavily scored, you can lightly file the edges to keep it sliding smoothly, but once the structural integrity is compromised by deep cracks, it should be replaced to ensure safety.
