Husqvarna Group Launches New Professional 40cc Chainsaw Lineup and Arborist Climbing Gear

Husqvarna announces the next level of tree care tools with the launch of the T540 XP® Mark III and new line of arborist gear. These innovations by Husqvarna Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of innovative outdoor power equipment products, are part of a full ecosystem of tools enabling arborists to do their most demanding tasks with greater ease. Remastered for reliability, the new T540 XP® Mark III responds to the needs expressed by arborists for greater power, productivity and maneuverability with products that get the job done safely, efficiently and effectively.

The new top-handle T540 XP® Mark III was redesigned following consumer feedback resulting in a lightweight, balanced, and agile chainsaw for climbing and cutting. With a high cutting capacity, the T540 XP® Mark III was redeveloped to ensure maximum reliability and trusted performance over hours of use. Its lightweight ergonomic design aids operator comfort and AutoTune™ 3.0 technology enables simple start technology and ensures peak performance even in the toughest of environments. This chainsaw represents the next generation of products designed with—and for—professional arborists.

“We listened to the feedback given by arborists and redesigned the T540 XP® Mark III specifically with their needs in mind,” said Carlos Haddad, Vice President of North America, Professional Products at Husqvarna Group. “Our top handle 40cc chainsaw offers maximum performance and precision in a durable package to enable the arborist to get the job done efficiently and effectively.”

The engine power of the T540 XP® Mark III is enhanced with Husqvarna’s SP21G X-CUT chain, maximizing precision and productivity. AutoTune 3.0 technology allows tree pros to use the same starting procedure on hot or cold starts, with no risk of flooding. Husqvarna’s X-Torq engine design delivers impressive power and LowVib technology reduces handle vibration. Added versatility comes from double eyelets that make it easy to attach and remove from the climbing harness keeping it closer to the body while climbing.

Additionally, Husqvarna’s new range of arborist climbing gear designed in collaboration with industry leader Teufelberger offers the ultimate in performance, durability, and reliability. High quality meets functional design in the form of a climbing harness, positioning lanyard, anti-shock chainsaw lanyard and mini-carabiners. Husqvarna also designed and created a new gear bag to keep gear organized. Rigorously tested, Husqvarna climbing gear products meet or exceed global safety standards and are built to last.

“Tree care professionals require durability and smart design in the gear they use day in and day out, and we’ve worked to meet those needs and provide additional comfort to improve the quality of their working lives,” added Haddad. “We’re proud to partner with Teufelberger to create a complete ecosystem of high-quality products for our customers.”

Husqvarna Group Launches 525i Battery Series with performance meeting 25cc gas-powered units

Husqvarna is charging into the future with the launch of its 525i Battery Series product line that features a powerful new string trimmer and two dedicated edgers engineered to produce high-precision results while meeting the demands of daily use.

All 525i Battery Series products are equipped with a Husqvarna E-Torq motor which supplies the power needed to meet the performance of 25cc petrol equivalents while exceeding them in torque. A metal skid-plate over the gearbox protects the machine from daily wear and tear and accidental drops. All-day comfort is also top-of-mind as each machine includes ergonomically placed rubber grips for a more comfortable workday. Additionally, the series is IPX4 certified for weather resistance so users can operate the equipment rain or shine.

The Husqvarna 525i Battery Series product line includes:

• 525iLST (String Trimmer): The 525iLST String Trimmer is a robust, high-performance professional battery grass trimmer that’s lightweight, well-balanced and achieves both a clean and precise cut. Designed for full-time use and complete with largest-in-class* 18.1” cutting diameter, this trimmer is also equipped with a metal skid plate to protect the motor from daily wear and tear.
• 525iES (Straight-shaft Edger): The 525iES Straight-shaft Edger has plenty of power to tear through harder dirt (with high clay content) and grass daily without getting bogged down. The 525iES has an 8” standard steel blade which gives landscapers the ability to cut clean, crisp lines in the grass and dirt against solid perimeters. This battery edger offers a comfortable loop handle and intuitive keypad with a 3-speed mode and battery status indicator.
• 525iECS (Curved-shaft Edger): The 525iECS Curved-shaft Edger features a faster blade speed that’s nearly double the speed of a straight edger, making it an ideal tool for lighter-duty edging. The offset design also gives the operator a better view of the blade and while deflecting debris.

“With noise and emission regulations rapidly changing in North America, we are delivering a portfolio of battery-powered handheld tools that not only meet these new requirements, but also meet the performance of petrol products landscapers depend on,” said Carlos Haddad, Vice President of North America, Professional Products at Husqvarna Group. “Husqvarna is ushering in the future of professional outdoor maintenance equipment with battery equipment and a suite of solutions to charge, store and transport the batteries needed to power a landscaper’s fleet of tools.”

To complement the innovative 525i Series line of tools, Husqvarna is also releasing an overnight charging rail to help landscape and greenspace professionals charge up to eight batteries, in parallel on one plug. The Husqvarna 40-C80 Charging Rail charges batteries slowly overnight, helping to support a longer lifetime for the batteries. The charging rail can also be mounted on a workshop or trailer wall to keep workspaces clear and organized.
