Forestry & Logging Equipment For Sale

Loggers use a mix of heavy machinery and attachments including chainsaws, feller bunchers, skidders, log loaders, and shear attachments mounted on skid steers or excavators. Tree shears with solid cast steel arms, like the Ranch Axe, are favored for quickly and safely cutting trees at ground level without leaving stumps.

Foresters use tools ranging from hand tools like axes and pruning saws to mechanized equipment such as skid steer tree shears, brushcutters, and mulchers. These tools help with tasks including thinning, fire mitigation, invasive species removal, and clearing beetle-kill timber across managed forest lands.

The Ranch Axe Tree Shear is available in 14-inch and 16-inch models, capable of cutting trees up to that diameter at ground level. The 16-inch model uses fabricated A572 steel arms for tougher, extreme land clearing applications compared to the standard 14-inch model.

Ranch Axe Tree Shears feature universal skid steer coupler hooks with standard flow flat face couplings, making them compatible with most new model skid steer loaders across major equipment brands, provided the machine meets the minimum 15 gpm flow rate requirement.

Yes, the Ranch Axe Tree Shear is engineered to handle both hardwood species like mesquite, oak, osage orange, and locust, as well as softwood species such as cedar. Standard or extended arm designs can be selected depending on the specific species being cleared.
