Lead time is 4 to 6 weeks. Every Predator 200 is built to order at our Fermanagh workshop, custom headstock machined to your exact excavator pin size and hydraulic spec. Build slots fill as the season approaches. The contractors working on 1 September are the ones who ordered in spring. Call 07734 357045 now to secure your slot. The Predator 200 Tree Shear is a heavy-duty hydraulic excavator attachment built for mini and midi excavators tackling hedgerow management, field boundary clearance and tighter woodland sites where a larger machine simply cannot reach. It cuts trunks and heavy timber up to 200mm diameter with speed and control. Built for contractors running 4 to 9 tonne excavators who need to get through heavy vegetation quickly, cleanly and safely. Every chainsaw operator standing on the ground alongside a moving excavator is a risk you do not need to carry. The Predator 200 removes that operator from the equation entirely. One person, one cab, full control. Hand-built to order at our workshop in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Running a 4 to 9 tonne machine means tight margins on every contract. A short season, unpredictable Irish weather eating into your working days, and a breakdown waiting on parts from a supplier who has never seen your machine. The Predator 200 is built for contractors who need a reliable excavator attachment that earns its keep through the season, and gets sorted fast in our own Fermanagh workshop when it needs attention. Height Stabiliser, Standard on All Predator Tree Shears Every Predator tree shear includes a height stabiliser as standard. When a tree is cut, it holds the stem in a controlled position so it cannot swing back toward the excavator cab. For operators working alone in tight woodland or along narrow field boundaries, that control matters. Keeps the cut timber where you put it and the operator safe throughout the cut. "It's a savage bit of kit, she keeps going all day." Contractor, Northern Ireland • Predator Tree Shear owner Key Features Cuts trunks and heavy timber up to 200mm diameter, hedgerows, field boundaries and tighter woodland clearance handled in a single pass Height stabiliser fitted as standard, holds the cut tree in a controlled position, keeping the operator safe inside the cab Custom headstock built to your exact excavator measurements, correct fit from day one, no adapters required Built for 4 to 9 tonne excavators, mini and midi machines that access sites larger machines cannot reach Hydraulic pipes not supplied as standard, we advise on exactly what you need and can supply piping at additional cost if required All maintenance in our Fermanagh workshop, the same people who built it sort it when it needs attention Chainsaw operators off the ground, one operator, one cab, full control of cut and placement Which Size Predator Tree Shear Do I Need?

See the Predator 200 in Action Watch the Predator Tree Shear working in the field. Predator 200 Tree Shear, McElhill Engineering Ltd, Fermanagh Frequently Asked Questions Will this tree shear fit my excavator? The Predator 200 fits any make and model in the 4 to 9 tonne range. A custom headstock is built to your exact measurements as standard. Call us on 07734 357045 and we will confirm your specific machine. What does the height stabiliser do? When a tree is cut, the height stabiliser holds it in a controlled position so it cannot swing back toward the excavator cab. This gives the operator control of where the cut timber lands and removes the risk of sudden uncontrolled tree movement. It is fitted as standard on all Predator tree shears. How long is the lead time and why does it take that long? Every Predator 200 is built to order in our Fermanagh workshop by a small, skilled team. Lead time is typically 4 to 6 weeks, and as the season approaches build slots fill up quickly so early orders get priority. That time is spent machining your custom headstock to your exact pin size and hydraulic specification, assembling the attachment and checking it before it leaves. You are not buying an off-the-shelf product that has been sitting in a warehouse. You are getting a machine built specifically for your excavator, to the standard we have been holding since 1993. That takes time and it is worth it. The contractors who are ready on day one of the season are the ones who planned ahead. Call now to discuss your build slot. What is the difference between the Predator 200 and Predator 450? The Predator 200 cuts up to 200mm diameter and fits 4 to 9 tonne machines. It is the right tool for mini and midi excavators on hedgerows and tighter access sites. The Predator 450 cuts up to 450mm and is built for 10 to 20 tonne machines on mature trees and heavier forestry contracts. Not sure which suits your work? Call us and we will advise you.
