Slice, Don’t Struggle — Beyondtech’s skid steer tree saw Turns Cat, Bobcat, and Kubota Loaders into Precision Felling, Trimming, and Stump-Flush Machines
Share
Tree removal has long been the slowest link in land-clearing, right-of-way, and storm-recovery chains. Chainsaws tire operators, orbital heads shake loaders, and shear blades splinter trunks instead of producing clean discs ready for stacking. Beyondtech set out to give compact loaders a faster, safer, cleaner approach: a hydraulic tree saw that bolts to the universal plate of any mainstream skid steer and converts hydraulic flow into a whisper-smooth, carbide-toothed cyclone. One minute you are pushing dirt with a bucket; the next you are making mill-quality cuts through five-inch cedars or twenty-inch oaks—no extra engines, no trailer-sized attachments.
Below is a deep dive into why the Beyondtech skid steer tree saw attachment should be the next steel plate added to your Cat, Bobcat, or Kubota fleet.
A Disc That Refuses to Dull
At the heart of the attachment spins a skid steer circular tree saw machined from high tensile steel blade saw plate, stress-relieved to keep true at working temperature. Thirty-six replaceable cutters marry carbide tooth tree saw edge hardness to an easy-swap pocket system. Need more bite in frozen hardwood? Slide in steel tooth circular saw inserts. Want extended edge life in sandy juniper? Pop in the tungsten matrix tips specified for desert crews. Every tooth is captive under a double-shouldered bolt—no flying shanks, no cracked pocket ledges, and no sawdust melt on the ring after a full day under pressure.
The blade rides on a multi-row bearing stack behind a labyrinth seal, driven straight from an in-line piston motor. Forget the chain cases and vibrations of early disc cutters; Beyondtech tunes its low speed high torque tree saw motor to 3000 psi yet limits rpm so cutters bite instead of burn. Result: longer edge life, cooler stumps, and zero black scorch lines that telegraph stress to buyers at the log deck.
Quiet Power—Inside the Housing
Oil from the loader meets an axial piston cartridge and exits as raw torque. A belt-less drive means no daily tension checks. A balanced flywheel evens moment of inertia, giving the head its vibration minimized tree saw reputation. The entire power train lives in a gusseted box built from half-inch plate—heavy enough to shrug hits yet compact enough for a lightweight tree saw designation on Kubota track rigs. A vented cover houses the optional rotor brake: close the trigger and the disc stops in under five seconds, exceeding ANSI safety expectations for “safety focused tree saw” labeling.
Boom Geometry — Reach What Others Can’t
Most disc cutters mount rigid; Beyondtech’s head swings on an adjustable boom tree saw with three indexed stops. Center position handles general felling. Pivot thirty degrees left and you reach under low canopy with a three position boom saw that clears brush tight against fences. Flip thirty degrees right for angle adjustable tree saw passes along ditch banks or pond edges. The pivot pin locks with a captured clevis—no lost hardware in the leaves.
Where many discs stop at ground level, Beyondtech engineered a subtle tip bevel and an offset gearbox so the blade sinks below grade for below grade cutting saw work. Slice offending root collars flush, pop the forward wedge, and finish the stump at soil line; no second trip with a grinder. Crews call it the “stump cutting tree saw” function and swear it saves a trailer slot every time they mobilize.
Universal Mount, Plug-and-Play Hydraulics
ISO lugs weld to every back plate. Roll in with a Cat 262, click, and flow. Swap to a Bobcat T770 mid-shift, no pin shims. Kubota SSV? Same fit. Flat-face couplers complete the “quick attach tree saw” promise—no spills at swap-out, no dust-packed male tips. And because the motor tolerates flows down to 18 gpm, even a mid-2000s S185 becomes a compact loader tree saw worthy of professional use.
Control Without Guesswork
An in-line sight window on the manifold presents live pressure, letting the operator feather feed speed and maintain a smooth kerf—critical for a precision tree saw finish that spares lumber value in salvage logging. Engage the reverse mulcher drum option—here, reverse spin—and the blade clears jammed fibres without powering down. A pilot check locks the circuit under load for a stable cut tree saw even on steep slopes where fluid surge might starve lesser heads.
Field-Proven Task List
-
Land clearing tree saw performance in Texas mesquite: one Cat 299D crew converted thirty raw acres to post-ready brush piles in a week.
-
Right of way tree saw for co-op utilities: Bobcat tracked unit sliced volunteer cottonwoods without dismounting bucket trucks.
-
Fenceline tree saw passes on Midwest cattle ranches: single lane cut leaves smooth posts ready for hot wire, no split tops.
-
Orchard limb cutter saw in Washington cherries: angled boom prunes back yearly growth flush to collar, sealing faster than shear cuts.
-
Storm cleanup tree saw after Gulf hurricanes: lightweight head on Kubota wheel skids reaches tight urban yards; clamps optional for safe carry.
-
Fire break tree saw in California chaparral: high-speed carbide ring chews fuel ladder species into chipper-ready bolts.
-
Selective cutting tree saw in oak-hickory TSI: foresters appreciate the thin kerf and clean butt log for pulpwood value while leaving crop trees unscarred.
Edge Versatility for Species Diversity
Swap cutter style in ten minutes: curved teeth for softwood tree saw slash, bulletstyle for hardwood tree saw mains, ripper rake for brittle cedar and scrubland brush. Each tooth indexes by forged dovetail—impossible to misalign—delivering a clean cut tree saw blade profile that grabs without chatter. That consistency produces a fuel reduction tree saw mulch pass so uniform landowners use it for wildlife plot seedbeds.
Comfort for All-Day Shifts
Every skid steer cab is a tin can amplifier if the attachment shakes. Beyondtech’s balanced disc, cushioned hydraulic lines, and reinforced frame join forces to cut vibration that once forced operators to throttle down after ten minutes. The difference is tangible: a low profile tree saw nose that tracks without whip, a joystick that caresses instead of rattles, and an operator comfort saw experience that extends productive hours.
Minimized Ownership Cost
A chain-saw crew burns bars, oil, PPE, and overtime. The Beyondtech disc drinks hydraulic oil that already circulates, spins on a greased bearing bank, and eats teeth you replace only after hundreds of trees. Routine service: inspect pockets, grease hubs, purge brake cavity. No chain tension. No bar dressing. No burned clutch. Labor translates to uptime, and uptime tees up invoices—that is the equation behind the “cost effective tree saw” badge.
Safety and Visibility
The frame’s box corner slopes away from the operator’s sight line, so blade path is visible even in a Kubota SSV’s front-looking glass. A welded guard skirts the disc’s top quadrant: stray chunks eject downward, not at the cab, fulfilling a safety focused tree saw spec demanded by municipalities. Valve block relief caps prevent hydraulic spikes if a tooth catches rebar hidden in a tornado debris tree—even more important on disaster recovery tree saw deployments where foreign objects lurk.
Durability that Outlasts Contracts
All stress faces use 120-ksi plate. Cross-members slot-and-tab before welding, eliminating root gaps that become crack birthplaces. Powder prime plus marine topcoat shrug off chain-oil sap stew and roadside de-ice brine. The system is built for the “long life tree saw motor” nothing-breaks schedule that timber leaseholders and state agencies prefer when budgeting for multiyear thinning cycles.
Reclaim Your Job Clock
Put down the two-stroke saw. Skip the log grapple shuffle. Pick up the Beyondtech plug and play tree saw and greet jobs where brush, limbs, saplings, stumps, and even roots fall to one tool, one loader, one operator. From fuel reduction tree saw passes above wildland-urban interfaces to orchard limb cutter saw tasks in delicate canopy cash crops, this attachment keeps hydraulic oil warm and revenue warmer.
Attach. Engage. Slice. Stack. There’s no simpler workflow—all while the Cat hums, the Bobcat purrs, or the Kubota tracks rifle straight through work your competitors call slow season. That’s Beyondtech engineering: fast to mount, fast to cut, built to pay.
