The Country: Jamie Mackay catches up with Husqvarna commercial salesman Hayden Ritchie at Fieldays to talk about a great-value entry level chainsaw and a ride-on mower, or lawn tractor, that can turn on a dime.

The Country's Jamie Mackay caught up with Husqvarna commercial salesman Hayden Ritchie at Fieldays for a chat about chainsaws and ride-on mowers.

It's Hayden's second year with Husqvarna at Fieldays but the company has been there since day one, 49 Fieldays ago.

Jamie mentions that Husqvarna has been around since 1689, something he learned from a quiz question the other day.

Hayden tells Jamie about Husqvarna's entry-level chainsaws and ride-on mowers, or lawn tractors as he calls them.

You can watch the full interview in the video above.
