Loader-Mounted Hedge Trimmer

Loader-Mounted Hedge Trimmer TRACTORS Loaders 28-2-25 Trimming hedges, brush and small trees is as easy as hopping on your loader tractor with this new hydraulic-powered cutter that attaches to a loader bucket. A hydraulic motor powers an oscillating cam connecting two cutting blades. Changing the hydraulic flow changes the speed of the blades. The 38-in. cutter requires 3-gal./min. hydraulic pressure and can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The Sabre II Multi-Cutter, as it's called, doubles as a swath cutter on combine heads. It mounts on the ends of heads to slice through tangled crops like canola. "Sickles can be sharpened and they're easily replaced if broken because they're fastened with capscrews, not rivets," says Gaudes. The Sabre has also been tested by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute, which said, "The ease of operating and adjusting the Sabre was excellent." They also found it easy to maintain and effective in making harvesting canola much easier. The Sabre sells for $849 (Canadian).
