MAXX Ranch Axe Tree Shear – 14" & 16" Heavy-Duty Skid Steer Tree Shears
Brand: MAXX Attachments
The MAXX Ranch Axe 14" & 16" Tree Shears are built for operators who demand brutal cutting power, reliable performance, and fast land-clearing efficiency. Engineered for skid steer loaders and designed to dominate hardwood, softwood, brush, and deep-rooted overgrowth, the Ranch Axe series combines extreme-grade steel components with precision hydraulic force to deliver industry-leading shearing performance.
The 14" Ranch Axe features MASSIVE one-piece solid cast steel shear arms—up to 60% stronger than fabricated arms—making it a top-tier choice for cutting dense hardwood like oak, locust, hedge (osage orange), and mesquite. Operators can choose between Standard Arms for hardwood or Extended Arms for softwood species like cedar.
For operations requiring even more muscle, the 16" Ranch Axe Tree Shear steps up the game with A572 fabricated steel arms, engineered for larger diameter trees and heavy commercial clearing.
Every Ranch Axe shear includes a ¾" AR400 replaceable blade, dual heavy-duty cylinders, a guarded hydraulic line system, and universal skid steer mounting. Optional brushguard and sprayer kit systems help operators enhance safety, visibility, and regrowth control. Whether you're cutting fence lines, clearing pasture, removing invasive species, or prepping land for development, the MAXX Ranch Axe delivers CrewTough performance that never backs down.

Shipping & Freight — What to Expect
CrewTough ships heavy-duty attachments and equipment across the U.S. Most items ship fast and trackable, but many of our products require freight (LTL) due to size and weight.
To make sure your order arrives smooth (and priced right), we may need a few details before freight ships.
Before Freight Ships, We’ll Confirm:
- Delivery type: Residential, Farm, Business, or Commercial
- Do you have a dock or forklift?
- Best contact number for the freight carrier to schedule delivery
- Any access notes: gravel roads, tight driveways, gate codes, limited truck access, etc.
Why this matters: Freight carriers price deliveries differently depending on the location type and unloading requirements.
MULTI-ITEM FREIGHT PRICING NOTE (Your “call us” requirement)
- Ordering Multiple Freight Items From the Same Manufacturer?
If you’re ordering multiple items from one manufacturer that charges freight, call or email us first. In many cases, we can combine freight and make sure you’re getting the best possible rate.

Free Shipping Brands
These manufacturers ship FREE to the lower 48 on qualifying items (unless otherwise noted on a product page).
- MTW Attachments

If your order requires special delivery (remote location, liftgate needs, limited access), we may still reach out just to confirm the smoothest carrier option — but the goal stays the same: no surprises, and your equipment arrives ready to work.

Let customers speak for us
from 2 reviewsGreat folks!
Jessica is the best sales rep I've worked with in a very long time! She is prompt on communication, explains things well and has kept her word. We ran into an issue with the manufacturer and Crewtough went to bat for us to a level that is over the top! Will certainly be checking with these folks first for future implement needs!
