HYDRA-SNIP The Hydra-Snip is our 12" series tree shear. The Hydra-Snip gets most of its features from its big brother the Hydra-Clip. 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-Snip is the biggest little tree shear in the world. Perfect for all types of pasture reclamation and heavy trimming, the Hydra-Snip will aid in all of your clearing needs. 800 Lbs. 61" wide 22" tall 34" deep 12" tree in one cut 3" chrome polished main hinge pins cross cut for maximum grease coverage 2-1/2" solid steel jaws Dynamically engineered cylinder angles Extended tips for larger than capacity cuts Extended tips for growth removal between wires and fence cleanup Another truly innovative design is the flush mounted bolts on the bottom side of the blades that allows the Hydra-Snip to cut at or below ground level. Designed for trimming of unwanted branches, as well as removal. Hydra-Snip weighs in at about 800lbs and is approximately 61 inches wide. See our How to size your machine page for size concerns. At only 22 inches tall and about 34 inches deep its size will fool you. Hydra-Snip is designed to cut a 12 inch tree in one snip and by design can cut trees much larger with multiple cuts. Hydra-Snip is engineered to be the strongest and longest lasting shear of its size on the market. The main hinge pins are the life of a shear. Hydra-Snip has extra strong 3 inch chrome polished hinge pins that have special spiral cut grease relief's machined into the pins to ensure that a uniform layer of grease penetrates around the pin and bushing every time. 2-1/2 inch solid steel jaws make this machine exceptionally strong. The angles in which the cylinders meet the jaws are dynamically engineered to distribute the maximum amount of power to the cutting edges. Extended tip blades designed to reach into fence lines and remove growth between the wires as well as above the fence. Allows for complete fence cleanup without removal of fence. Another truly innovative design is the flush mounted bolts on the bottom side of the blades that allows the Hydra-Snip to cut at or below ground level. Designed for trimming of unwanted branches, as well as removal.

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.)
