My boss made one for his loading shovel, fits on the extension bale forks which means you can catch and collect limbs as you cut them
Here it is at work

What sort of output compared to a man and chainsaw Have a hedge to tidy and some self sets out of a ditch to clearWe run a TMK on an 8 tonne machine. It's got a second pair if pins on the bracket at 90 degrees to the others so we can set it up for vertical cuts if we need to. Not too much of a fiddle to swap it for the odd time we need to, but much cheaper and lighter than a rotator. Brilliant machine for coppicing leggy hedges on banks.
We bought the same tmk now on an 8 tonne machine, would say the output is 2 to 3 times that of a good man on a good sharp saw, the ability to clear trash and stack the wood is where it wins hands down. Also much safer.What sort of output compared to a man and chainsaw Have a hedge to tidy and some self sets out of a ditch to clear
How's the Tmk compare to John's set up output wise ?We bought the same tmk now on an 8 tonne machine, would say the output is 2 to 3 times that of a good man on a good sharp saw, the ability to clear trash and stack the wood is where it wins hands down. Also much safer.
Does the tmk catch the branches every time, the tiget cut i hired would mis the odd branch, as it bounced out before it caught it.
we got the same as John's easily cuts 12" and larger.But it is slow. Spent a hour chopping logs with it last night.☺ the cutting action split most of them. Spent most of the morning loading the rather large pile into Bags.
Looks like some piece of kit with the rotator.Hans Habbig not cheap but excellent shear with a swivel
Thats the shear working in one of the videos i put up earlier in the thread. One of those is around £9000 i belieave.Looks like some piece of kit with the rotator.

It holds the one side if you see what I mean? If you cut a tree it holds the part you cut off, with a log it would hold the one side in its cutting action the loose end would drop.
John's is a good machine and the hands of the capable operator he is can cut a lot of stuff, he has done a .lot of work here and for my brother in awkward places on slopes etc. Places no one except a tree climber would be able to touch.
We have most of ours in piles and cut each pile into a tipping trailer rather than bags
EC-oil quick attach system on the tilty. Pretty swish stuff.yes, Still uses the exact 1 for heavy timber, the Habbig is a bit more limited on cutting capacity, But it is garanteed to hold the timber solid before cutting it, which is not quit the case with the simpler Tmk, tiger cut type.
He can also change attachments without leaving the Cab , so can go from Bucket , to Grab , to Shears etc without changeing pipes.
