Cutting Attachments

The Ranch Axe Tree Shear is available in 14-inch and 16-inch models, capable of shearing tree trunks up to that diameter. The 16-inch model uses fabricated A572 steel arms for tougher, extreme land clearing applications, while the 14-inch model uses solid cast steel for maximum strength on standard clearing jobs.

The Ranch Axe Tree Shears feature universal mount skid steer coupler hooks with standard flow flat face couplings, making them compatible with most new model skid steer loaders across major equipment brands. A minimum hydraulic flow rate of 15 gpm is required for proper operation.

The 14-inch model uses solid cast steel shearing arms and weighs approximately 1,630 lbs, ideal for general hardwood and softwood clearing. The 16-inch model uses fabricated A572 steel arms and weighs around 1,925 lbs with a brushguard, built specifically for tough, extreme-duty land clearing applications.

The Ranch Axe Tree Shear requires a minimum hydraulic flow rate of 15 gpm to operate the shearing cylinders effectively. The two shear cylinders are rated at 4,000 psi with a 5.00-inch bore and 10.00-inch stroke, delivering the force needed for ground-level cutting.

The Ranch Axe Tree Shear uses a 3/4-inch AR400 bolt-on replaceable milled knife blade. This abrasion-resistant steel provides durable, long-lasting cutting performance and can be replaced in the field when worn, minimizing downtime during heavy land clearing operations.

Yes, the Ranch Axe Tree Shear can be equipped with an optional sprayer kit that applies regrowth-inhibiting treatment directly at the cut site immediately after shearing. This helps control invasive species like cedar and mesquite from resprouting after clearing operations.
