excavator tree saw

05rammer · Sep 10, 2014

Does anyone know of a tree saw that attaches to an excavator? I'm looking into trimming trees around fields as an option for my business. The only one I've found close to what I want is a Turbo Saw, but it is a little smaller than I'd like and does not off hydraulic rotation of the saw.
Thanks for any information.

Would a shear work?

What size limbs on what size machine?

A sheer would work but I think it would be slower than I'd like. I'm looking at 8-9 ton machines. I'd like to be able to cut whatever size limbs that I run into, within reason of course.

You could go with any of the skid steer models above and add a skid steer adapter to your excavator. These are all over the internet. However, with that small of a machine, the weight of the attachment may be an issue when you stretch it out. Also, aux gpm flow may be an issue, and you will need to do some custom wiring if you want the saw to rotate.

Or go with this one Turbo Saw Tree Saw for Excavators Look at the picture, they have it pictured with a rotator, which must be optional.
