Product Information
Full details
The Husqvarna 4-inch arborist wedge (MPN: 598035701) is a precision tool designed for professional arborists and serious homeowners who need reliable support during small-scale tree felling and bucking operations. Its primary benefit is providing consistent stability to keep the saw kerf open and prevent pinching, though its compact size limits its use to smaller diameter trees compared to larger felling wedges.

FAQs
Can I use this wedge on large trees?
This wedge is designed for smaller felling cuts; for large trees, we recommend using longer, wider wedges.
Will this wedge damage my chainsaw chain?
The wedge is made from a specialized durable plastic specifically to prevent damage to the chain teeth if they make accidental contact.
How do I attach it to my climbing gear?
Use a standard carabiner through the built-in hole at the end of the wedge.
Is this wedge suitable for splitting wood?
No, this is a felling wedge designed to keep a saw kerf open, not a log-splitting wedge.
What is the best way to clean the wedge?
Simply wipe away sap and debris with a damp cloth or a degreaser after each use.
Troubleshooting
Wedge is difficult to insert into the kerf
Ensure your felling cut is deep enough to accommodate the wedge profile; if the kerf is too tight, finish your cut slightly before inserting.
Wedge keeps popping out of the cut
Try adjusting the angle of insertion or verify that the tree is not leaning heavily away from your intended direction of fall.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Husqvarna arborist wedge, store it away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation. It is fully compatible with all standard professional chainsaw setups.
- Attachment: Use a standard locking carabiner to secure the wedge to your harness or belt loop for hands-free transport.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the surface for burrs or deep gouges. If the wedge becomes heavily scored, you can use a fine file to smooth the surface, which will help it slide more easily into subsequent cuts.
- Safety: Always inspect the wedge for cracks before use. Even though it is made of durable plastic, severe impacts over time can create fatigue lines.
