Why a tree shear?
A Tree Shear is a hydraulic attachment meant for cutting trees like a guillotine. They are mainly used for tree removal where the other alternative methods include manual work with a chainsaw or a brush cutter, or machines equipped with a grapple saw or mulcher.
Compared to manual work, a tree shear can be a lot safer, faster and often a more cost-efficient alternative. Compared to a grapple saw, a tree shear is much more affordable to acquire and simple to use, as well as much easier to maintain. If working directly with a mulcher, the scrap material can't be re-used commercially and the mulched material itself can increase forest fire risks in drier conditions.

One grapple design
TMK Tree Shears were the first guillotines in the market to utilize only one moving grapple arm. This provides superior strength for the frame and better alignment for the blade. It also allows us to make our shears lighter and easier to maintain than the two grapple equivalents.
