How does an excavator tree shear work for cutting down trees?

An excavator tree shear works by using hydraulic power to operate large, heavy-duty blades that clamp around the tree trunk. The shear’s blades are typically powered by the excavator’s hydraulic system, which provides enough force to cut through even thick tree trunks. When the shear is clamped around a tree, it cuts through the wood in a clean, controlled manner. The excavator tree cutter attachment allows the operator to control the shear precisely, ensuring that trees are felled accurately. This method is highly efficient for forestry work, allowing for quick and effective tree removal. Once the tree is cut, the shear can be used to move or stack the fallen trees for further processing.
