Husqvarna H57S .404 x .063 Chainsaw Chain

This Husqvarna .404 chain in .063 gauge is built for large saws felling and bucking big wood. Heavy cutters and a thick gauge stand up to long days on large removals.

Big chain for big wood

.404 chain is the heavy end of the range. It is run on big saws for felling large trees, bucking trunk wood and milling. The thick .063 gauge suits bars made for the largest saws. Chisel-style cutters cut fast in clean wood, while semi-chisel holds an edge longer in dirty or frozen wood, so check the cutter style before ordering for your conditions.

Match the drive link count to your bar length, and confirm your bar is .063 gauge.

Heavy chain also means more weight and more drag in the cut, so it pays to keep it sharp and well oiled. Running a dull .404 chain on a big saw makes the saw work far harder than it needs to, wastes fuel, and wears the bar and sprocket. Keep at least one spare loop per saw so you can swap and sharpen at lunch.

Sharpening and care

Use the round file size Husqvarna specifies for this chain and a matching depth gauge tool. Keep every cutter the same length so the chain runs straight. Replace the drive sprocket when it shows wear, and keep the bar oiled. Large saws demand trained operators wearing chaps or saw pants, boots, helmet, eye and hearing protection.
