Mini Excavator Hydraulic Hedge Trimmer

The NORTECK TH-12 turns a mini excavator or compact tractor's hydraulic circuit into a pruning tool. The cutter bar mounts on the carrier's hitch pin and severs woody stems up to 2 cm in diameter. Hydraulic motor and hoses are included.

Mounting and Hydraulic Supply

The attachment is controlled from the machine's auxiliary hydraulics. Minimum oil flow required is 15 l/min to drive the blade. This value determines cutting responsiveness: below it, the movement becomes irregular and the cut loses precision. Check this parameter on your excavator's spec plate before installation.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility and Use

This hedge trimmer suits mini excavators and compact tractors with compatible flow. No dedicated hydraulic line is needed: it connects to the machine's existing system. For maintaining hedgerows, borders, or dense shrubs, the cutter bar works continuously without manual tool reversal.

In the same equipment category, the hydraulic hedge trimmer for mini excavators is an alternative if you're looking for a different model. To round out your attachment lineup, the 64 cm hydraulic mulcher handles larger diameters.
