JAK-500C Excavator Tree Shear – 500mm Cutting Capacity

Massive cutting power from three cylinders. Intelligent hydraulics. Built for serious tree removal.

The JAK-500C Tree Shear is a powerful, heavy-duty excavator attachment designed for professional tree removal, tree topping and large-scale vegetation clearance. Built in Finland for 25–35 tonne excavators, it combines an impressive 500mm cutting capacity with an innovative triple-cylinder hydraulic system, delivering exceptional cutting force without sacrificing operating speed.

What really sets the JAK-500C apart is its unique three-cylinder design with dual eBoost technology. When cutting smaller branches and trees, the shear operates quickly using just one hydraulic cylinder. As cutting resistance increases, the second and third cylinders automatically engage, delivering enormous additional cutting force exactly when it's needed – without the operator having to change settings or interrupt the cut.

This makes the JAK-500C particularly well suited to contractors tackling large trees, heavy shelterbelts and demanding tree removal jobs where both cutting power and productivity are essential.

Key Features & Benefits

• 500mm Cutting Capacity – Powerful hydraulic tree shear capable of cutting large tree trunks and branches up to 500mm in diameter.

• Unique Triple-Cylinder Design – Three hydraulic rams work together to deliver exceptional cutting force, automatically engaging additional cylinders as cutting resistance increases.

• Dual eBoost Hydraulic System – Two integrated eBoost units provide rapid jaw movement and automatically deliver additional cutting power when required. JAK's eBoost technology can increase operating speed by up to 100% compared with conventional hydraulic systems.

• Ideal for Tree Topping & Removal – Powerful cutting action and secure gripping jaws make the JAK-500C an excellent choice for dismantling large trees, removing heavy branches and clearing overgrown shelterbelts.

• Fast Cycle Times – Rapid closing and return strokes minimise downtime between cuts, helping contractors process more timber in less time.

• Heavy-Duty Single-Jaw Design – Concentrates cutting force into one powerful clamping jaw, providing outstanding cutting performance with a simple, robust construction.

• Felling Support fitted as standard – Helps guide and control standing trees during cutting, particularly useful when removing larger timber.

• Removable Cutting Blade – Allows the tree shear to double as a heavy-duty timber grapple for handling, stacking and loading logs.

• Hardox® Steel Construction – Manufactured from premium wear-resistant steel for strength and durability in demanding forestry and tree removal applications.

• Finnish Built Quality – Designed and manufactured by JAK in Finland, backed by a 24-month manufacturer's warranty.

Built for Professional Tree Removal & Tree Topping

Whether you're dismantling large trees, topping overgrown shelterbelts, clearing roadsides or removing problem trees, the JAK-500C offers an exceptionally powerful and productive solution.

Its combination of a 500mm cutting capacity, triple hydraulic rams and intelligent eBoost technology allows operators to work quickly through smaller branches while retaining the immense cutting force required for large, heavy timber.

For tree removal contractors, the ability to grip, cut and handle timber using a single excavator attachment can significantly reduce handling time and improve productivity. The optional felling support provides additional assistance when controlling larger trees during removal.
