Skid Steer Limb Saw Attachments

The Ranch Axe Tree Shears require a minimum hydraulic flow rate of 15 gpm with a shearing cylinder rated at 4,000 psi. Ensure your skid steer's hydraulic system meets this minimum output for optimal shearing performance and cylinder longevity.

Yes, the attachments feature universal mount skid steer coupler hooks with standard flow flat face couplings, making them compatible with most new model skid steer loaders including Bobcat, Case, Caterpillar, Gehl, JCB, John Deere, Kubota, Manitou, New Holland, and Takeuchi.

The 14-inch model uses solid cast steel shear arms for standard land clearing, while the 16-inch model uses fabricated A572 steel arms designed for tough, extreme clearing applications. Both are available with standard or extended arm configurations and optional brushguards.

The shear blades are constructed from 3/4-inch AR400 steel as a bolt-on, replaceable milled knife design. This allows operators to replace worn blades in the field without needing to replace the entire shear arm assembly, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Yes, an optional sprayer kit is available for the Ranch Axe Tree Shears that applies herbicide directly to freshly cut stumps during the shearing operation, helping prevent regrowth of invasive species like cedar and other woody brush in pastures and rangeland.

Weights vary by model and configuration. The 14-inch standard arm model weighs approximately 1,630 lbs, while brushguard-equipped versions range from 1,820 to 1,925 lbs depending on arm length and shear size, so verify your skid steer's rated operating capacity before purchase.
