What Tree Shear Works Well With Avant 630?

You can still grab / pick up cut stems by just ‘pinching’ the tree in the shear but I know what you mean. I’m happier cutting and letting it drop rather than cutting and holding on - means I can cut bigger and further away without risk of going over with it. 

The likely hood of tipping a 1000 kg machine with a tree or branch with a diameter of 6" is pretty slim, and if something does go wrong, the likelihood of a catastrophe is pretty slim, maybe a skinny 30' tree at max lying on something and a machine small enough for a few guys to shove back on its wheels.  
  Go dangling over a cliff with power lines underneath like Wyle coyote and then you might have a catastrophe 😂

That is pretty cool.

Yep I like the look of that though guessing it will be very pricey.

Surprised if it’s under 10k over here.

 

For hedge removals that would be incredible.

Blimey!

Honestly though, how hard is it to cut anything that you can reach with an avant or mini digger with a chainsaw or pole saw? You’d need a lot of repetitive work to make it pay imho.

Yes Doobin I know what you mean but for me with any attachment I own or hire its about being efficient and saving an already ageing body!

With you all the way mate and I have more kit than most! But so far I've drawn the line at a tree shear on such a small carrier.

 

However, I'm happy to be proven wrong. Up until August I drew the line at a loader, now I have a second on the way!
