Dymax 10″, 14″ and 16″ SLX Tree Shear
180° Rotate TREE Shear
Dymax 10″, 14″ and 16″ SLX Tree Shear for Hydraulic Excavators and Skid Steer Loaders:
A Dymax SLX Tree Shear is the premier tree cutting attachment specifically designed to cut all types of trees including hardwoods in land clearing and tree trimming applications. The SLX shear features a multi-machine adaptable interface allowing customers to change between large skid steer loaders and hydraulic excavators to maximize fleet utilization.. Models for excavators can be fitted with a 180 degree hydraulic rotator capable of positioning the shear sideways to provide for side trimming of branches and limbs.
Dymax SLX Series Tree Shears feature high strength shear arms and heavy duty cylinder rams designed and engineered to withstand forestry applications. The dual shear arm design delivers strong performance in tough applications such as hardwood shearing compared to single shear arm models that are prone to twisting and bending. Quickly adapt to Excavators and Skid Steer Loaders using the same shear and improve overall fleet flexibility.
