MDE Machinery Skid Steer Tree Shear

The MDE Machinery Koala 200, 300, and 400 SLS Tree Shears are skid steer attachments designed for tree cutting, land clearing, forestry work, and vegetation management. They provide a hydraulic shearing solution for cutting standing trees and woody vegetation, making them suitable for applications where controlled tree removal is required.

The Koala series offers different cutting capacities according to the model: Koala 200 cuts up to 8 inches, Koala 300 up to 12 inches, and Koala 400 up to 16 inches. This range allows customers to select a tree shear based on the typical diameter of the trees they need to cut. Actual cutting suitability can depend on tree characteristics and operating conditions.

The Koala Tree Shears are specified for hydraulic flow ranging from 10.39 to 31 GPM, depending on the model. Because the hydraulic requirement varies across the Koala 200, 300, and 400 SLS models, customers should check the exact model specification and compare it with their skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic flow before purchasing.

The primary difference is their tree-cutting capacity. The Koala 200 is rated for cutting up to 8-inch material, the Koala 300 up to 12 inches, and the Koala 400 up to 16 inches. Selecting a model should therefore be based on the typical tree diameter involved in your work, along with the hydraulic and carrier requirements of the specific model.

These tree shears are suitable for forestry, land clearing, vegetation management, property maintenance, right-of-way clearing, and construction-site preparation. They can help operators remove unwanted standing trees and woody growth using a skid steer. The appropriate model should be selected according to the size of trees being handled and the specifications of the carrier machine.

Choose the model based on the maximum tree diameter you need to cut and your skid steer's hydraulic capabilities. The Koala 200 provides up to 8-inch cutting capacity, the Koala 300 up to 12 inches, and the Koala 400 up to 16 inches. Also verify the applicable hydraulic-flow range, mounting configuration, machine operating capacity, and other model-specific requirements to ensure the tree shear is properly matched to your skid steer.
