Precision Manufacturing says their new Mini Clip tree shear is designed for smaller equipment but works like the big shears do.
    “We’ve been making clippers for large tractors and skid steers for nearly 30 years (Vol. 40, No. 2),” says Bill Reed, Precision Manufacturing. “We’ve had lots of requests for one that fits compact and utility tractors, so we developed the Mini Clip.”
    It attaches to front-end loader arms with universal quick-attach brackets. Weighing only 632 lbs., it requires only 1,200 lbs. of lift capacity. A counterweight is recommended.
    The Mini Clip can be used at ground level to clip off saplings and trunks up to 7 in. in diameter. It manually telescopes out to 6, 7 or 8 ft. past the height of the loader and rotates up to 180 degrees to quickly clip branches.
    “It can clip off any species of tree,” says Reed. “The 4-in. cylinder produces almost 20 tons of pressure at 2,500 psi across the 1/8-in. edge on the blade. The blade should last forever with no sharpening needed.”
    Reed reports that customers especially appreciate the clean cut, the size they can cut, and the close cut offered.
    “They like being able to get within a few inches of the trunk of the tree when cutting limbs and within 3/4-in. of the ground when cutting a trunk,” he says.
    The Mini Clip is available in two models, both priced at $7,500. Both can be equipped with a sprayer for applying herbicide to cut stumps. The MC6551 is for skid steers and tractors with auxiliary hydraulic outlets. The price includes a wireless remote to control the rotation of the cutting head.
    The MC7551 comes with an extra valve kit to create an auxiliary hydraulic valve for tractors without auxiliary power. It comes with a control valve with one button to activate cutting and a second to rotate the head.
    When not being used for the Mini Clip, the kit’s auxiliary power can be used on other accessories, such as a grapple on a loader. Auxiliary kits are available for tractors with a hydraulic flow of up to 13 gpm and those with a flow of up to 24 gpm.
