Reply:http://www.drpower.com/prdsell.aspx?Name=treechopperIf the tractor has hydraulics, just put a big arse circular saw blade on a hydraulic motor and you can buzz down all kinds of stuff.  Of course, it'd probably be a good idea to have some kind of pusher arm to make sure the tree doesn't fall back toward you and to keep from pinching the blade...http://www.toolorbit.com/Freud/Freud-LU72M020.html

Reply:I don't know about driving into a tree. That goes against my every fibre and screams "Danger Will Robinson" (sorry dated myself). Or is it just me. I see some goin over the bars (into the tree) with a broken neck.

Reply:Just saw this, been away a whileI've thought about making a real shear, but I figure it is too hard on the tractor.  I'm dealing with trees up to around 16" diameter trunks.  It's better for me to hire someone and let them tear up their equipment while I just build stuff to handle the downed trees (which I have)"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
