Description
Overview:
The Barkstod (bumper spike) for Husqvarna T540 chainsaws is a genuine Husqvarna replacement part that helps the saw bite into the wood, stabilise the cut, and protect the saw body from bark abrasion. Built from robust steel with a durable black finish, it is engineered for daily professional use. This bark stop mounts to the saw's side plate and provides a firm pivot point when making controlled cuts. It is designed specifically for Husqvarna T540 and T540XP models, ensuring the correct geometry, balance, and clearances.
