Loflin Tree Shear

Clear thick cedar thickets and stubborn hardwoods with surgical precision using the industrial-grade power of the Loflin Fabrication tree shear—the ultimate tool for high-volume land clearing without the mess of a chainsaw.

Are you tired of the back-breaking labor and safety risks of clearing large acreage with a handheld chainsaw? Managing invasive species like cedar or mesquite is a relentless battle when you have to bend over for every single cut just to get a flush finish. Not only is it slow, but the constant threat of falling branches makes ground-based clearing a dangerous, exhausting cycle.

The Loflin Fabrication tree shear is the heavy-duty answer to professional land reclamation, turning your skid steer into a high-tonnage cutting machine. Utilizing a massive, armored hydraulic cylinder, this attachment generates enough force to slice through hardwoods up to 12 inches in diameter like a hot knife through butter. It allows you to tackle dense overgrowth with incredible speed, dropping trees exactly where you want them from the safety of your cab.

Durability is at the core of the Loflin tree shear design, featuring a 1-inch thick, heat-treated AR400 steel blade engineered to hold its edge through thousands of cycles. Unlike thinner blades that warp when hitting hardwood knots, this high-carbon steel monster remains perfectly rigid. The frame is overbuilt with reinforced American steel, ensuring jaw alignment stays true even when pushing your machine’s hydraulic pressure to the absolute limit.

For ranchers and farmers, the biggest advantage is the ability to achieve a perfect flush cut at ground level. The Loflin tree shear is designed with a low-profile base that sits flat against the earth, allowing you to snip trees off at the soil line. This eliminates hazardous stumps that could otherwise puncture expensive tractor tires or damage mowing equipment, saving you hours of post-clearing cleanup and site prep.

Safety is prioritized through an integrated heavy-duty push bar, strategically positioned to guide the tree’s fall away from your machine’s cab. Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder and all vital hose connections are shielded behind thick steel plating. This armored design ensures that snapping limbs and falling debris don't result in costly repair bills or hydraulic leaks in the middle of a remote job site.

Investing in a Loflin Fabrication tree shear means equipping your fleet with a tool proudly welded, assembled, and powder-coated in the USA. Whether you are a utility crew clearing right-of-ways or a landowner reclaiming a fence line, this attachment provides the raw power needed to turn a week-long project into a single afternoon’s work. It is a professional-grade clearing system built to outlast the machine that carries it.
