Tree shear does generate a lot of material in short order, need to be on stand by with telehandler to heap and burn it.
I can see that getting a good hedge trimmer man in first could be a good idea as it will easier for the man on the shear to see what needs to go.
Wouldn't worry at leaving what appears to be rough job, give it 12 months be grown on and you won't ever know.
A shear is an option but most of the branches aren’t that thick just too thick for a flail. We have the kit to use a shear but I can see it taking a long time.
We have the kit to clear up the remains so not too scared of that, done enough before.
It’s just getting it on the deck that I need help with sourcing
Yes I agree . That daft shear looks like a dinosaur been loose , what a mess . I think the guys using them hate treesI’m a bit anal about leaving spot end with trees and hedges, hence why I hate the flail, especillay on hedges that we too big to take it nearly.
This is why I wanted a saw to leave a clean cut, hence the post!
My shear grab is as good at thin stuff as big, you can gather up a mass of thin bits in its claws:
Can you pivot yours to cut sideways though? I’m not so worried about the tops it’s the sides I want to focus on?

I have a shear as well, you don’t pivot it but crowd it right back and cut vertically
Ok thanks. Presumably then you would have to work at 90 degrees to the hedge ‘reaching in’ rather than track down alongside cutting parallel to?
I like the way you cut and place out the way ready to be pushed up but I think the saw will be quicker given the average thickness is 3-5 inches.
