Fecon, a leading global manufacturer of heavy-duty site preparation attachments and forestry accessories, recently acquired TREEfrogg LLC, a manufacturer of skid steer and compact track loader attachments for high volume tree trimming.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are excited to add the TREEfrogg trimming saws to the Fecon line,\u201d said Jeff Stanley, Fecon\u2019s senior vice president of product development. \u201cThis addition expands the offering to our agricultural, rural and DOT customers, giving them a productivity-enhancing solution for selective tree trimming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The innovative attachments offer the ideal solution for tackling overhanging tree limbs and other vegetation along easements, right-of-ways, roads, fence rows, paths and other applications. Cutting faster than a chainsaw bar, the Trim Ex 26S saw attachment features a 24-inch carbide-tipped forestry blade that spins at 3,000 rpm and operates with standard flow machines between 10 gpm to 27 gpm with no high flow needed. The operator hydraulically rotates the saw head from the cab as much as 180 degrees to optimize the cutting angle and increase productivity. The boom telescopes to 18 feet total length, which provides a working height of 26 feet. Combined, the high-speed saw, rotating head and telescoping boom allow the operator to make continuous, clean cuts from one machine position.<\/p>\n

By eliminating the need for chainsaws, bucket trucks or otherwise expensive, dedicated machinery, the Trim Ex 26S attachment can reduce the often manual labor of tree trimming to a tenth of its cost. The attachment\u2019s low maintenance is another cost-saving factor, as it does not have loose chains or require any bar oil for lubrication. Additionally, no operator components are near the actual cutting apparatus and the assembly allows the operator to trim from a distance safely inside a cab.<\/p>\n

A smaller saw attachment, the Trim Ex 18C, can fit on skid steers with a 1,300-pound rated operated capacity. Compact in size, the Trim Ex 18C takes up as little as four inches on the front of an equipment trailer and the boom can be straight, offset to the machine side or folded for transport. The tree trimmer requires 10 gpm auxiliary flow and has a 10-foot forward reach with an 18-foot working height. Fecon also partnered with the founder of TREEfrogg to develop and design a dialectric saw attachment, the Trim Ex 26D, which offers added safety when trimming trees around power lines. It is also lighter in weight than the 26S model.<\/p>\n

For over thirty years, Fecon has produced more than 25,000 mulcher heads with a presence in every continent. The acquisition of the TREEfrogg saw attachments complements Fecon\u2019s current line of mulching attachments and extends Fecon\u2019s reputation as a leader in the forestry mulching and vegetation management industry.<\/p>\n
