Husqvarna unveils 2 new chainsaws

Husqvarna launched two new products: the T540i XP top-handle and 540i XP rear-handle chainsaws.

These two saws were specially designed and developed together with Husqvarna and professional arborists and feature an optimized system to deliver the next step in battery performance.

The battery-powered chainsaws feature a new, ground-up design and are developed specifically with professional users in mind. Used with the newly released Husqvarna BLi200X (T540i XP) or Husqvarna BLi300 (540I XP) batteries, the new chainsaws have capabilities equivalent to professional 40-cc petrol chainsaws, making them ideal for tree removals and smaller felling tasks, according to the company. With the completely redesigned, optimized system, power has been increased by more than 30 percent compared to previous Husqvarna battery chainsaws.

The latest Husqvarna X-Cut chain, SP21G and Husqvarna X-Precision bar, the Husqvarna T540i XP offers cutting capacity for drop cuts of thick trunks and branches while also being fast and nimble enough to take on smaller tasks. The rear-handle version Husqvarna 540i XP boasts the same power and is the perfect all-round saw for any kind of groundwork.

“This is the most exciting battery launch we’ve had in many years, and I am confident these chainsaws will be game-changers,” said Andreas Rangert, vice president for the Tree Professional Unit at Husqvarna. “The T540i XP and 540i XP saws have been designed for cutting capacity and convenience for the user, meaning the battery power is complemented by maneuverability, ergonomics and a user-friendly interface with quick control.”

These new Husqvarna chainsaws have an advanced, user-friendly interface for quick control, as well as balanced saw bodies that provide the maneuverability needed for difficult cuts. The battery status is easily visible on the newly developed intuitive interfaces and the saw starts and stops at the press of a button. The absence of direct emissions, less noise and fewer emissions are also benefits of the saw, Husqvarna said.

The saws are IPX4 classified, meaning that they can operate in challenging weather.
