Bobcat Firewood Attachments

Firewood attachments like tree shears mount to a Bobcat skid steer to cut trees at ground level quickly and safely, without chainsaws. They're used to harvest hardwood and softwood species for firewood, clear brush and regrowth, and process timber for land management, ranching, and forestry fire mitigation projects.

The Ranch Axe Tree Shear is available in 14-inch and 16-inch capacity models. The 14-inch model handles standard hardwood and softwood shearing, while the 16-inch model is designed for tough and extreme land clearing applications requiring greater cutting diameter and shearing force.

The 14-inch model uses solid cast steel shear arms and weighs approximately 1,630 lbs, ideal for standard clearing. The 16-inch model uses fabricated A572 steel arms, weighs around 1,925 lbs with brushguard, and is built for tougher, extreme-duty land clearing tasks involving larger diameter trees.

The Ranch Axe Tree Shear requires a minimum hydraulic flow rate of 15 gpm and operates with a shearing cylinder rated at 4,000 psi. Ensure your Bobcat skid steer meets these hydraulic requirements, along with a minimum operating capacity of 1,850 lbs, before installation.

Yes, tree shears are commonly used for firewood harvesting because they cut hardwood species like oak, mesquite, and locust cleanly at ground level, allowing operators to fell and process multiple trees quickly for firewood production, land clearing, or pasture regrowth management.
