MDE Koala Tree Shears

Made from high strength steel and armed with a replaceable blade, Koala Tree shears have become a success across the globe. The MDE Koala tree shear range was designed with a purpose-built heavy Hardox chassis to ensure strength, resilience and durability.

After years of testing and re-designing, MDE has developed this efficient, powerful, high-quality attachment for cutting trees.

The Koala series offers a wide range of tree shears with four cutting diameter models to suit excavators 1.5 – 30 ton. Koala tree shears are a hydraulic attachment that cuts trees efficiently, using a powerful hydraulic ram to operate a Hardox wing-style blade, which can be replaced when worn or damaged during extreme use – the first on the market to be able to do so. The arm takes a firm grip of the trunk as it’s cut, and the jaw retains a grip, allowing it to be placed in a safe location.

Another important feature is the bolt-on hitch which allows the shears t be fitted to other excavators or other machines such as telehandlers, skid steers and cranes
