TMK - Model 300 -Next Gen Tree Shear
TMK 300 Next Gen Tree Shear is the updated version of our original guillotine Tree Shear for an excavator or a skid-steer loader, amongst other applications.
- 300 mm
- 295 kg
- 5-20 tons
Our product family’s matriarch weighs only 295 kg, which makes it possible to use it even on a 5 ton excavator, but it also endures the stress from a 20 ton excavator. Thanks to the capsular structure and efficient blade, 300mm tree can be cut neatly. Shear can be used also in the bigger miniloaders and skid steers. Unlike the other models, TMK 300 can be equipped also with a delimber option. Recommended hydraulic pressure for TMK 300 is 220-280 Bars, depending on the chosen cylinder.
Collector
The collector increases the productivity of the shear significantly. Collector works automatically with open-close motion all the way to the point where the bunch is dropped. When the shear is closed, the collector opens up to the other side of the trees, and when the shear is opened again, the collector first grabs the trees firmly in its grip. This way the trees stay all the time firmly in hand. Only when the bunch is dropped one electric line is needed to let the bunch go from the grip. Collectors simple operation enables fast and comfortable working. Thanks to its high productivity, the collector is TMKs most popular attachment worldwide.
NEW! Collector is now available also without electricity! Ask more from your local dealer, or directly from TMK.
Delimbing gives the last touch to the tree clearing as well as the TMK 300 attachment package. TMK has the first easilly controllable delimber on the market without expensive feeding systems. Delimbing is smooth thanks to the diamond shaped delimber hole. This shape gives the shear a little room to tilt before snapping the tree with the blade. This way is ensured a fast and smooth motion, when the delimbing is fast and more importantly easy. In the nordic countries the delimber is really common attachment because of the demand of stripped trees. Delimber is also possible to use without electricity, and delimber is also easy to retrofit.
Hydraulic extension beam is professionals choice. Attached to the quick hitch, the hydraulic extension produces the much needed extra reach to the professionals, without sacrificing the agility. Extension beam is about 2 meters long and extends another 1,6 meters. With hydraulic extension beam it’s possible to get about 3,6 meters of extra reach, depending on the place of the bracket. Using the extension is simple and going back to excavation jobs is fast and easy. In the designing process of the beam we have kept in mind the needed features at forest thinnings and clearences, and the machine fits to turn even in the tightest of places with the extension on. The heel of the extension is strengthed and can be used to help the excavator to move in challenging places.
TMK 300 can be equipped with solid extension beam. Bolt attached plates enables the beam to be taken off easily, if it doesn’t suit the job at hand. Extension is a good fit especially with delimber, as it makes the motion faster and smoother thanks to longer reach. Solid extension was designed to work with tiltrotators to ensure that the sensitive hoses doesn’t get damaged in the bushes, but kept in a safe distance from the branches and minimize the damages.
TMKs Linkage brings more speed and versatility to TMK Tree Shears use. Linkage was originally designed to speed up the working with hydraulic extension beam, but now it enables the shear to be used in machines that doesn’t have a feature to tilt the shear up and down. Now we can offer a solution to use the shear with tractor cranes and harvesters. Linkage tilts 165 degrees, which ensures wide movements and small enough cylinder keep the motion fast. Linkage is attached to the shear with bolts, so it can be taken off quickly and used again on a different machine when needed.
NEW! In cooperation with Palfinger we made a linkage that is fits directly to all EPSOLUTION series cranes! Ask more from your local dealer, or directly from TMK.
Brackets are on bolt-on fitting plates, this makes it possible to use the shear with multiple machines.
With the splitting blade you can finalize the trees cut with the shear, without unnecessary hassle. The splitting blade attaches to the side of the shear with three bolts. Splitting blade works best with the bolt-on-blade models, when you can also load or move the trees with the same shear.
TMK 300 can be eqipped with different cylinder options.
- Normal main cylinder, recommended pressure 280 Bars.
- Bigger main cylinder, recommended pressure 220 Bars.
- TMK Turbo is patented telescopic cylinder, where the smaller cylinder works always first, keeping the motion fast. When the smaller cylinder runs out of power, the bigger cylinder starts working automatically. This way we get really fast motion without sacrificing the strength at all. TMK Turbos’ recommended pressure is 220 Bars.
TMK Turbo and bigger main cylinder are excellent choices when working with tilt rotators, when the reduced pressure doesn’t affect the maximum cutting capability. TMK Turbo grows your work efficiency up to 15%!

Cuts up to 300 mm
TMK 300 has been designed to cut all the way up to 300 mm (11,8") trees.
New Next Gen frame
Updated frame design that takes the strength and serviceability to new heights. It`s the same old TMK 300 but even more professional.
One grapple design
TMK Tree Shears were the first guillotines in the market to utilize only one moving grapple arm. This provides superior strength for the frame and better alignment for the blade. It also allows us to make our shears lighter and easier to maintain than the two grapple equivalents.
Patent pending blade design
The new blade is 15 mm thick with a new patent pending sharpening pattern that causes minimal friction during the cut, while still providing maximum durability.
Clean cuts with Brushgrapple
It allows “scissor”-like cutting, that provides much cleaner cutting results for small shrubs instead of twisting and ripping them from the ground with roots.
Improved trash removal
We’ve made the trash removal opening on the side of the product larger and more “efficient” with some geometry changes. With this, the TMK 300 Next Gen handles snow, dirt and sticks even better without getting them stuck in the base of the shear.
Modular design
Some say our Tree Shears can be assembled like Lego’s; you can build them up piece by piece from the basic shear to a professional piece of kit that can accumulate, de-branch, extend and rotate.
