Putting the Husqvarna 450 to the test... When we all ended up in Monarch staring up at a 70' blue-stain pine, the Husqvarna 450 Chainsaw looked a little- puny for the task at hand. This was a horrible assumption as you can see from the photographs below. The Husqvarna Rancher 450 chainsaw packs a real wallop, if you'll allow me to usurp a colloquialism. It's a 50.2 cc, 3.2 HP made for all-around usage. While we cut down, limbed, and sectioned a huge tree this chainsaw works just as well on broken fence, railroad ties, or any other everyday usage typical on properties here in the Northwest. You can learn more about the specifics of the 450 Rancher on our product page, here. Another cool product spec that was directly related to our little outing in Monarch is the air injection in this chainsaw versus other chainsaws. It has a centrifuga... Read more

I’m always surprised by how many of our products inside North 40 Outfitters are made in the USA.  Contrary to popular belief most livestock feed, animal health products, and even many tack items are manufactured in North America. In the past, I have been a tack and animal health buyer for North 40, I’ve sat on committees in the industry for this category, and I’ve been to countless shows, meetings, supplier’s visits, and factory tours.  However, I have never been to Weaver Leather or Ohio for that matter. So, when I got the invite to the Weaver Leather headquarters and their factory in Berlin, Ohio with our current tack buyer, Erik Haugen, and our farm and ranch category manager, Jesse Ova, I jumped at the opportunity. During our visit, four main themes kept reoccurring as we visited the different manufacturing facilities and of... Read more
