Once you’ve determined the scale of your task, you can find land clearing equipment that will do the work for you.

Land Clearing Equipment for Tree Removal

If you’re planning on cutting down many trees on your property, consider having them appraised before starting the removal process. You never know; you may have valuable timber that you can sell. Many times, trees can be relocated as well. Before you start any job, you should decide what to do with the debris.

Tree Slayer

Our excavator tree shear is built to cut and trim trees, brush, grind out tiny stumps and roots with the serrated edge, then collect the debris in a neat pile with the back edge. This tree slayer is intended to endure the most arduous tangle of trees.

When looking for land clearing equipment that eradicates trees, you want to find brush-cutting attachments that lessen the time spent switching between attachments. Tree clearing tools need to reach narrow areas that other devices can’t.

Additionally, the brush cutting attachment must have strong mulching teeth capable of destroying dense material such as a large span of trunks and branches varying in size.
