OVERVIEW

When you need a powerful, fast, and dependable cutting attachment for serious land-clearing work, the Maxx Attachments Ranch Axe Tree Shears deliver powerful cutting performance. Available in 14-inch and 16-inch cutting capacities, this heavy-duty skid steer tree shear is engineered for operators who want a clean, controlled cut every time—whether clearing fence lines, reclaiming pasture, removing invasive trees, maintaining ranch property, or handling commercial forestry work.

Designed with AR400 hardened blades, reinforced steel arms, and a high-pressure hydraulic cylinder, the Ranch Axe offers the perfect combination of cutting strength, durability, and precision. The curved grabbing arms lock onto the tree securely, allowing you to cut hardwoods and softwoods with confidence. This attachment is ideal for landowners, fencing contractors, vegetation managers, and skid steer operators seeking a professional tree-cutting attachment that performs under the most demanding conditions.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Ground-Level Cutting Performance
    Designed for flush, low-to-the-ground cuts that minimize stump height and improve land-clearing efficiency for forestry, ranching, and property maintenance.
  • Solid Cast-Steel Shearing Arms (Standard & Extended)
    Equipped with heavy-duty cast steel shearing arms significantly stronger than traditional fabricated steel arms—ideal for cutting hardwoods, softwoods, and dense vegetation.
  • Engineered for Skid Steers With Adequate Power
    Requires a minimum operating capacity of 1,850 lbs to ensure stable performance when cutting medium to large-diameter trees.
  • Optimized for Standard-Flow Hydraulic Systems
    Operates with a minimum hydraulic flow of 15 GPM, supported by a robust 4,000-PSI shearing cylinder that delivers consistent cutting force during heavy-duty tree removal.
  • Guarded Hard Hydraulic Lines
    Features protected hard lines to reduce wear, shield hoses from brush and debris, and improve long-term reliability in rugged land-clearing environments.
  • Universal Skid Steer Quick-Attach Compatibility
    Built with a universal mount skid steer coupler, allowing seamless integration with most modern skid steer loaders and compact track loaders.
  • Standard-Flow Flat-Face Couplers Included
    Comes equipped with flat-face couplings for clean, leak-resistant hydraulic connections and quick attachment changes.
  • Optional Protective Brushguard
    Available with a sturdy brushguard option for added operator safety and increased visibility during cutting operations.
  • Optional 5-Gallon Sprayer Kit
    An optional 5-gallon herbicide sprayer system helps prevent tree regrowth—ideal for long-term vegetation management and right-of-way maintenance.

With all these performance-driven features, the Maxx Ranch Axe Tree Shears become more than a skid steer attachment—they’re a powerful land-clearing system engineered to help your machine cut trees quicker, work smarter, and dominate tough forestry jobs.

FAQs

Can these tree shears cut hardwood species?



Absolutely. The AR400 hardened blade and high-pressure hydraulic cylinder are designed to handle dense hardwoods, including oak, elm, hickory, and other tough timber commonly found in land-clearing operations.



How big of a tree can a skid steer cut with these shears?


With Ranch Axe Tree Shears attached, a skid steer can cleanly cut trees up to 14″ on the standard model and 16″ on the larger version. This makes them ideal for professional land clearing, fence-line maintenance, and forestry applications.

Do Ranch Axe Tree Shears prevent tree regrowth?


While cutting alone does not prevent regrowth, Ranch Axe offers an optional 5-gallon sprayer kit that applies herbicide at the cut point to stop trees like mesquite or cedar from growing back.
