Forestry Machinery
Brush Guillotine
Optimized for 13–20 ton excavators. Heavy-duty construction with Hardox® 450 wear parts and premium hydraulic components.
The Tamsalu VL 1 is a top-tier tree shear engineered for medium to heavy-class excavators (13–20 t). It is specifically designed for high-intensity operations such as utility line clearing, land reclamation, and forest thinning.
Unlike standard cutters, the VL 1 is built for longevity and continuous professional use. We utilize impact-resistant bronze bushings and hardened joint pins to ensure play-free operation for years to come. Furthermore, we provide full spare parts support—from additional blades to complete seal kits—minimizing downtime on the job site.
