HYDRA-CLIP The Hydra-Clip is our 16" series tree shear. The Hydra-Clip is simply state-of-the-art. With technological advancements in every aspect of life, why not tree shearing. With state-of-the-art technology like true flush-to-the-ground cutting, and extended tips for larger than capacity cuts, the Hydra-Clip is unrivaled and unmatched. Perfect for all types of pasture reclamation and heavy trimming, the Hydra-Clip will make wide open pastures of even the most dense forest. 1550 Lbs 76" wide Cuts 16" tree in one cut! 4" chrome hardened main hinge pins cross cut for maximum grease coverage Dynamically engineered cylinder angles from maximum power 5" Cylinders with 3" shaft Full frame wrap around design 3" solid steel jaws Extended tips for larger cuts Flush bolt on the bottom of the blades True flush-to-the-ground cutting ability 12.6 gallon internal chemical tanks Hoses routed through special tubes for extra protection Extra strong mounting plates Viewing window for full sight at cutting edges The HYDRA-CLIP weighs in at 1550 lbs and is 76 inches wide. See our How to size your machine page for size concerns. It is designed to clip a 16-inch tree in one cut. It has massive 4-inch main hinge pins for longer life than any other shear comparable to its size on the market today. The grease relief technology machined into the pins insures maximum coverage of the grease for even longer life. The angles in which the cylinders meet the jaws are dynamically engineered to distribute the maximum amount of power to the cutting edges. The first truly flush to the ground cutting shear with flush mounted bolts on the bottoms of the blades. Another truly innovative design is the internal chemical tanks with a capacity of 12.6 gallons. Hydraulic hoses routed inside machine through special tubes to provide extra hose protection. Extra strong mounting plates with viewing window for full sight at cutting edges. The shear comes with 5-inch hydraulic cylinders with 3-inch shafts. The full frame wrap around design is able to transfer the maximum amount of energy from the pump in the skid loader to the cutting edges. The jaws are 3 inch solid steel for maximum strength. The blades have extended tips to reach into the ground or into the side of a tree for even a larger capacity of cut.

1. Find out what the lifting capacity is of your machine.

2. Add the tree shear weight to the weight of the capacity trees

   • The Hydra-Snip weighs 800 lb. It has a capacity of cutting a 12" tree in one clip. A 12" tree will be approximately 20' tall and will weigh approximately 800 lb. Add the weight of the tree + the weight of the shear and that should be close to the lifting capacity of the skid loader or tractor. (Example: a 800 lb Shear + 800 lb. Tree = 1600 lb. Capacity
     

3. What is the hydraulic operating pressure of your machine?

   • Our tree shears are designed to operate at 3000 PSI. If your machines PSI is lower it will still operate, but not as efficient. The PSI cannot be under 2200 PSI. What that means is the shear may not one cut as large a tree so you will have to make a crease cut and then move the tree on in closer to the base of shear and finish the cut. The leverage increases drastically closer to the frame.
     

4. Tree Shears mounted on front loaders of tractors should always order a tall bump bar to protect the tractor. This will also allow the operator to know exactly where the shear is, like a auto leveling rod on the loader. (Our shears cut so close to the ground that you need to have them laying flat on the ground when you activate them.)
