Husqvarna Soff-Cut 5000 Paver Self-Propelled Gas Saw
The Husqvarna Soff‑Cut 5000 is the ultimate heavy-duty, early-entry saw designed for high-demand environments such as highways, runways, and paving projects. Equipped with advanced features, it empowers contractors to cut green concrete precisely and efficiently—preventing random shrinkage cracks and improving structural integrity.
Key Features & Performance Highlights
1. Ultra Early-Entry Soff-Cut® Technology
Utilizing Husqvarna’s patented Soff‑Cut system, this saw allows contractors to cut control joints within just 1–2 hours of finishing—well before full curing. An up-cutting blade paired with an anti-ravel skid plate protects edges from chipping while ensuring clean, precise joints.
2. Industry-Leading Cutting Depth
The Soff‑Cut 5000 stands out with a maximum cutting depth of 4 inches, enabled by its unique frame and blade support—ideal for thick, industrial slabs and paving tasks.
3. Robust Powertrain
Powered by a 27 hp Kohler gasoline engine boasting overhead valves, heavy-duty cleaning, electric start, and comprehensive lubrication—and supported by a mechanical fuel pump and hydraulic valve lifters—this machine offers reliable performance on long shifts
4. Custom Blade Flexibility
The saw supports 12”–14” blades, enabling adaptable joint width control for different applications. This versatility allows simultaneous control of crack placement—boosting efficiency on large surface projects
5. Smooth Mobility & Operational Control
Features include a positraction drive, hydrostatic transmission, and travel speed indicator for superior maneuverability. Operator-friendly elements such as electric blade-depth adjustment, remote key start, and adjustable electronic handlebars deliver precision and comfort
6. Enhanced Safety & Compliance
A dry-cut blade design with a dust port built into a low-noise, enclosed blade block ensures compliance with OSHA silica rules while limiting disruption in both urban and industrial environments
7. Durable Build for Tough Jobsites
Constructed with a lightweight aluminum frame, equipped with dual halogen headlights, a mechanical depth gauge, and a high-capacity charging system, the Soff‑Cut 5000 delivers high resilience in demanding conditions
