I didn't know they were still selling these, or anything else in the 40V line. I don't see them anywhere.

I've got a couple big dead oaks that I know have a ton of carpenter ants inside. Is there a way to kill the ants before dropping the trees? Usually they come pouring out and relocate (and my garage is kinda close by) or they remain in the logs and then pour out when I split them. Either way...

What do you think of this? Husqvarna originally sold this saw with 0.05" gauge chain, but now they sell it with 0.043" gauge and I heard it was to improve performance. Is it possible I'm seeing some excess drag/friction which is why they went with 0.043"?

It is cold - around freezing today - and I only made a couple cuts before it started happening again today. I don't think the saw really had a chance to get very warm.

Well, if it is the batteries, and I guess quite likely could be since they are 4 years old, they cost between $150 - $200 each to buy a replacement. That ain't gonna happen for a $250 saw. I would probably just buy a smaller gas saw or maybe shop for a good deal on a more modern battery powered...

Yeah, I don't think it is a failing battery. I cut up some more pine today, storm damage trees maybe 10" thick. I really made it a point to let the saw do the work and it kept doing this to me about 75% into the cut. Chain is sharp, good chips. Battery well more than 50%. I brought both...

At best I can only do a half-assed job sharpening my own chains so once in a blue moon I treat myself by dropping a few chains off at the local power equipment dealer for (hopefully) a better job. This last batch I took to a place I've never used but was assured their tech has a machine he uses...

I forget how cold it was the last time I ran it. It was probably 20 to 30. I limbed 3 small pines and it never did it, then it started doing it as I was bucking them up. It wasn't steady bucking as the snow was deep and limbs in the way so I had to move around carefully between cuts. The battery...

The batteries are probably cold. Even if I kept them warm they would quickly cool off with intermittent use out in these below zero temps when I have been using it. I don't feel like it is a battery issue or even cold weather because it doesn't do it when I am just limbing. It does it when...

My 40v Husqvarna 120i battery saw has performed well over the 4 years I've had it. I feel I understand it's limitations and use it for limbing and smaller cuts, then grabbing the gas saw when needed for larger cuts. The Husqvarna has begun halting with the red flashing triangle illuminating and...

Thank you! That Madsen's info was excellent!

There is no oiler adjustment on the MS251

Early on I wasn't as good with keeping my chains sharp, hence I bucked up a few trees with dull chains that generated some heat and discolored the bar. I also feel the saw has intermittent oiling issues, but probably operator error. Even recently I had concerns it was oiling the chain but I ran...

Image of my bar

I'm on my original bar having bought the saw new in 2014. I only cut a few trees a year at most so the saw does not see heavy use. A new bar isn't cheap so don't want to replace it 'just because.'

I picked up a spare chain for my Husqvarna 120i when I bought it a couple years and recently installed it. Today I grabbed the box to order another and noticed the box said it was a chain type H38 / Pitch 3/8" / Link 52 / Gauge .050". but the Husqvarna site says my saw uses H38 / Pitch...

I had a large oak removed and the stump was cut relatively flat to the ground. It's irregular shaped but is easily over 3' in diameter. It had a hollow spot in the middle that went down around 6 to 10" which is now collecting standing water and is a breeding ground for misquotes. Any tips to...

Last year I had a large oak dropped - it was two trunks coming up from a large common base. The tree guys left too much of the stump sticking up so I paid a guy to come cut it flush since my saw is way too small for a job like that. He hit a rock inside the stump and had to stop. I was able...
