Clearing trees, brush, and undergrowth — whether on rural land, job-site perimeters, or overgrown lots — demands strength, safety, and efficiency. The Haugen Tree Shear for Skid Steers is purpose-built to meet those demands, offering heavy-duty cutting power, versatile mounting options, and rugged build quality. With the ability to cut trees up to 12 inches in diameter, this attachment allows skid steer operators to perform controlled tree-cutting tasks.

At its core, the Tree Shear uses a 5" × 12" industrial-grade hydraulic cylinder, delivering up to 29 tons of cutting force at 2,500 psi. That power, combined with a 1-inch thick T1 steel body and hardened cutting blade, allows the shear to tackle heavy saplings, medium-sized trees, and thick brush — designed for applications that standard grapples or buckets are not intended to handle.

To match different workflow needs, Haugen offers the Tree Shear in multiple configuration options: Fixed-blade, Manual-rotation blade, and Hydraulic-rotation blade. The rotating versions add flexibility: after cutting, you can reposition the blade easily to trim, load, or orient felled trees and limbs — improving safety and productivity. 

The rugged construction and powder-coat finish ensure long-term durability and resistance against wear, weather, and repeated rough use. At 870–890 lbs depending on model, it’s designed to fit skid steer loaders using standard universal quick-attach mounts (or compatible mounts), making installation straightforward and broadly compatible across common skid steer brands. 

For landowners, landscapers, forestry crews, property maintenance teams, or contractors — this shearing attachment can help reduce time and labor requirements for tree removal. Instead of manual chainsaw work (which is slow, labor-intensive, and often unsafe), operators can shear and move trees entirely from inside the skid steer cab — supporting improved operator safety and workflow efficiency. As a result, clean-up, lot clearing, pasture maintenance, and site prep are more controlled compared to manual cutting methods.
