Description
Overview:
This felling dog is a genuine Husqvarna OEM accessory for petrol chainsaws, designed to give positive bite and steady control during cuts. Made from durable metal with aggressive teeth, it anchors the saw against the timber so you can pivot the bar in smoothly and keep a consistent cutting line. It is purpose-made for Husqvarna professional and farm/ranch saws, including the Husqvarna 266 and 268, and identified by MPN 503 59 07-01 (503590701). Fitting a quality felling dog helps reduce bounce, improves accuracy, and supports safer working by limiting sudden movement at the start of a cut. It is suitable for routine maintenance replacement or upgrading worn dogs to restore stable cutting performance.

Typical Applications:
Used for tree felling, snedding, and bucking, where secure leverage and steady bar control are important. Helpful for plunge (bore) cuts and controlled directional felling, as well as processing firewood and storm-damaged timber. Ideal for professional arborists, forestry workers, landscapers, and experienced DIY users who need predictable, repeatable cuts in hardwoods and softwoods.
Also known as:
Often called a bumper spike, bucking spike, spike bumper, felling spike, saw dog, or chainsaw tooth/dog. These terms describe the same toothed metal plate that bites into the wood to stabilise the saw and provide a pivot point for controlled cutting.
