Tree Shear is an excavator-mounted cutting attachment used to sever trees, saplings and woody vegetation during land clearing, right-of-way maintenance and forestry operations. It allows the excavator to cut and control material from a protected operator position.

Cutting capacity depends on tree species, stem condition and the specific shear design. Selection should consider carrier size, target vegetation, cutting mechanism, gripping or holding features if fitted, hydraulic requirements, working reach and mounting compatibility.
