M&M Attachments | Hydra Clip 16" Tree Shear
The M&M Hydra-Clip Tree Shear is built for skid steer and compact track loader operators clearing trees, brush, fence lines, pastures, right-of-ways, and overgrown property. This version had an available grapple, giving operators the ability to cut, grab, control, bunch, and move material with one attachment.
With a cut capacity up to 16″ diameter in one cut, the Hydra-Clip is made for serious land clearing work. The shear cuts near to flush to the ground, while the grapple helps hold the tree during the cut and manage it after it drops. That makes it a stronger choice than a shear-only setup for operators who want more control, faster cleanup, and less time switching attachments.

What size tree can it cut?
It can cut up to a 16″ tree in one cut. Larger trees can be handled with multiple cuts depending on the tree and machine.
Does it require high flow?
No. The Hydra-Clip does not require high flow. It relies more on hydraulic pressure, with 2,500 PSI minimum and 3,000 PSI recommended.
What size skid steer do I need?
M&M recommends a loader with at least 2,500 lbs of operating capacity. Larger skid steers and CTLs are usually the better fit because of the attachment weight and tree control.
Why choose the grapple version?
The grapple helps control the tree during the cut, then grab, bunch, stack, and move material after cutting.
Can it cut close to the ground?
Yes. The Hydra-Clip is designed for flush ground-level cutting, which is useful for pastures, trails, fence rows, and areas that need cleaned up after clearing.
What is the optional spray system for?
The optional spray system treats fresh-cut stumps to help reduce regrowth after cutting.
Is this good for fence lines and pastures?
Yes. It is a strong fit for fence rows, pastures, waterways, field edges, trails, and overgrown property.
Note: Best matched with larger skid steers and compact track loaders with 2,500 lb ROC or higher, proper hydraulic pressure, and enough counterweight for safe tree handling.

All warranty claims are handled through Echo Equipment, where you’ll work directly with our team to get issues resolved quickly without the runaround.
Cut and Grab in One Attachment
The included grapple lets operators cut trees, control the fall, bunch material, and move brush without switching attachments.
Flush Ground-Level Cutting
The Hydra-Clip is designed to cut close to the ground, leaving a cleaner finish for fence lines, pastures, trails, and mowing prep.
Fast Clearing Production
A 4 to 5 second open-to-close cycle time helps operators keep moving when clearing multiple trees, saplings, and brush lines.
No High Flow Required
The Hydra-Clip runs off hydraulic pressure instead of high-flow GPM, making it a practical fit for many larger standard-flow skid steers and CTLs.
- Land clearing contractors cutting, grabbing, bunching, and piling trees.
- Farmers and ranchers cleaning up fence lines, pastures, waterways, and field edges.
- Property owners clearing trails, hunting land, overgrown acreage, and wooded lots.
- Municipal and right-of-way crews maintaining roadsides, ditches, highlines, and utility paths.
