MDE Machinery where the first manufacture in the whole of Ireland to release the renown Koala Tree Shear range, consisting of 5 single grapple arm models, catering for excavator classes from 1.5 tonne – 40 tonne. Through proven strength, design, reliability and simplistic working function it is no surprise that the Koala Tree Shear range can be found in over 27 different countries today. MDE also are the only certified approved HARDOX tree shear manufacturer in Ireland.

MDE officially launched the Koala Tree Shear range in 2014. Made from high strength steel and armed with a replaceable blade it comes as no surprise that the Koala Tree Shear has become a huge success across the globe. The MDE Koala range was designed with a purposely built heavy chassis, to ensure it is stronger, more resilient and robust than anything else in its market category.

Koala Tree Shears are hydraulic attachments that connect to an excavators hammer lines. The hydraulic cylinder pushes the Hardox® edge through the tree to shear it. The benefit this design is that when the tree is cut it can be placed to a safe location.

Through years of testing and re-designing MDE has developed an efficient, powerful, and high quality attachment for cutting trees. With our signature replaceable wing style blade, which was the first on the market.
