Tree Shear and Stump Cutter for Excavators: Blue EG and Blue RAC Clear Land Efficiently

Roadside clearing, building site preparation and biomass harvesting all demand power and durability from your equipment. With the right attachments, your excavator becomes a versatile machine that both fells trees and processes stumps. The Green Attachments Blue EG tree shear and Blue RAC stump cutter are built for exactly this.

This article explains where each attachment fits, which models are available, and how to choose the right size for your excavator.

Blue EG Tree Shear: For Tree and Brush Clearing

The Green Attachments Tree Shear Blue EG is a professional-grade hydraulic tree shear (tree cutter / timber shear). It is designed for cutting and handling small and medium-sized trees and for clearing dense brush.

Key features

• Cuts round wood up to 300 mm in diameter. A powerful hydraulic cylinder and robust grapple construction give a secure grip and a clean cut.
• No extra hydraulic connections. The bolt-on knife makes installation fast and safe.
• Lightweight yet durable. The shear is built from Hardox 450, Weldox 700 and Strenx 650 MC high-strength steels. The low weight reduces strain on your excavator’s hydraulics and extends the attachment’s service life.
• Built for difficult sites. Hydraulic rotation lets you work at different angles, even horizontally. It suits steep slopes, narrow road edges and hard-to-reach locations.
• Easy handling of cut material. Stack, chip or grind the timber to suit your job site.

Applications

• Roadside, power line and railway corridor clearing
• Construction site preparation
• Landscaping and brush thinning
• Plantation thinning and young forest management
• Hazardous tree removal
• Biomass fuel and energy wood harvesting

Models and excavator sizes

Also available are the Blue EGC 25 (370 kg) and Blue EGC 30 (670 kg), which include a bush collector arm. The collector arm makes it easier to gather and move several stems at once while you fell and stack in the same pass.

Blue RAC Stump Cutter: Stumps and Roots Split Down to Size

Without the right tools, stump removal is slow, heavy work. The Blue RAC tree stump cutter (stump harvester / log splitter) is built to cut and split stumps and roots quickly and safely.

Key features

• Jaw design that penetrates the stump. The jaw shape is optimized to split even tough stumps.
• Split stumps dry faster. Smaller pieces are easier to transport, and to chip or grind later.
• Controlled, safe operation. The cutter holds its grip on the stump, so you can work precisely even on cramped sites.
• A model for every excavator. The range runs from the light RAC 08 to the heavy-duty RAC 25.

Blue RAC model range

For lighter work, the Blue WW160 (160 kg) stump cutter is also available.

Applications

• Stump removal before earthworks
• Yard and landscape clearing
• Reclamation of old sites
• Stump biomass and energy wood harvesting
• Follow-up work in landscape maintenance

How to Choose the Right Attachment

1. Define the job. Are you felling trees, clearing brush or processing stumps? You may need both a tree shear and a stump cutter.

2. Check machine compatibility. Besides weight class, consider hydraulics, oil flow, pressure and mounting.

3. Assess the work environment. Slopes, tight spaces and tree size all affect the choice of attachment and working method.

4. Plan what happens to the material. Decide in advance whether it will be stacked, chipped or hauled away.

5. Prioritize safety. Felling trees and splitting stumps involves a risk of falling and flying material. Follow the operating instructions and keep the work area clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Thanks to the bolt-on knife, no extra hydraulic connections are needed.

What excavator sizes are the EG tree shears available for?
Models cover roughly 2–25 t excavators, for example the EG 18 (2–6 t) and the EG 40 (13–25 t).

What is a stump cutter used for?
A stump cutter splits stumps and roots. The pieces dry faster and are easier to transport and process further.
