12" Rotating Tree Shear.
Attachment for Skid Steers

Tree Shear

Heavy Duty attachment! Would definately recommend to anyone.

Well built. Does what it is advertised to do

cuts right though 8-10 inch trees & limbs

Works great for cleaning the brush along the creek on the farm.

Great tree shear but hydraulic hoses way too short needs to be 30 inches longer

Nice Tree Shears

I had a pair of these from Titan a few years ago and sold them. I bought a new set and they work good. I hope they hold up good.

Pin placement for the axis rotation allows the semicircular anchoring piece to bend when the cutting piece is forced. This occurs as the cutter is lifted or dropped. Since the cutting piece can't be seen an incomplete cut snags the wood and forces the pin to twist the pin anchor

Great deal

It works well, has lots of nice details. Using it on a small skid steer makes it much easier to center the tree into the shear, rather than using a tractor front end loader. I'm considering modifying the pin rotating system. When you try to shear a small tree that is not perfectly vertical, there is a good deal of twisting force as the shears want to get perpendicular to the tree trunk as they clamp down. I was imagining that some strong springs which would stretch enough to absorb that twisting force would save the stress on the pin. One other reviewer had welded on an additional mounting point so that there would be pins in two different locations, to strengthen that bottleneck of force. Regardless, it works as is, without totally torture testing it, but going up to about 9" wood. I liked being able to cut a piece of wood laying on the ground by coming at it from above. I want to remind people of the fact that the sharp shear blades shouldn't be used to move heavy timber around, since the blade hardening process (like carbide drill bits) makes it possible to break the blades with torquing force. My (also Titan) rotating grapple works very well for moving, stacking and feeding the trees into the chipper.
