In October 2007, we added the Series V Tree Shear, which
has longer cylinder stroke, that can cut up to a 14-3/4" diameter in the first cut. Blades
open wider, allowing trees to be cut deeper between blades. Blade braces also have more space between
them to clear low limbs on such trees as cedar and mesquite.
We will continue to offer the Series IV Hydraulic Tree
Shear, that can cut up to a 13" diameter tree in a single cut, as long as there is customer demand.
Actual capacity depends on type of tree, hydraulic pressure
of power unit, and moisture content of tree or season of the year.
We have two standard models that can be built in either the Series
IV or Series V configuration:
The first model is available to
fit 3 point hitch and most front end loaders with four pins.
The second model is designed for those who aren't sure how they may want
to use the shear, It has an adapter that will allow the shear to be used on 3 point hitch, front end loaders, and skid
steers. This hitch configuration is beneficial in the Equipment Rental
Industry, meeting the needs of different customers. This option is also to your advantage if you ever "get
done" and desire to resell the shear.
