OMEF Mechanical Pruning

Heavy-duty, versatile & powerful

Mechanical pruning plays a vital role in managing vegetation across agricultural fields, forests, and urban landscapes. Advances in mechanized equipment have significantly improved efficiency, safety, and consistency, allowing operators to handle even large-scale pruning tasks with greater ease. Choosing the right tool depends on the type of vegetation, the maximum branch diameter to be cut, and the specific working conditions.

Several specialized attachments are available to meet these needs, including hedge trimmers, cutting bars, pruning bars, disc hedge trimmers, and pruners. Each tool offers unique features that make it ideal for precise cuts and targeted pruning in different environments, ensuring clean results and reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

Hydraulic Hedge Trimmer for Excavator

OMEF
Fast, Strong and Versatile

The TG hydraulic hedge trimmer is designed for clean, precise hedge trimming with minimal residue, making it ideal for professional landscaping and roadside maintenance. Available in two models with either six or nine cutting blades, it can be installed on excavators or backhoe loaders for efficient vegetation control.

Its innovative cutting system features star-arranged knives made from wear-resistant steel. These knives rotate at high speed, delivering strong mowing capacity and finely shredding branches and foliage. The result is a smooth, even cut with significantly reduced debris compared to traditional trimming systems.

The attachment operates using a hydraulic hammer line with an additional drainage line to ensure optimal performance. To enhance safety during work, rubber guards provide effective protection around the cutting area.

Each model is available with a full turnkey kit that includes a mounting bracket tailored to your machine and a dedicated hose kit. This allows for quick installation and immediate use, ensuring seamless integration and efficient operation right from the start.

Pruning cutting bar

OMEF
Fast, Strong and Versatile

The TRI pruning cutting bar is a robust and efficient attachment designed for clean, accurate pruning of branches and shrubs. Available in three models with working lengths from 160 to 220 centimetres, it can be installed on excavators or backhoe loaders for professional vegetation management.

Built entirely from high-strength, wear-resistant steel, both the structure and the blades are engineered for long-lasting durability. The cutting system features comb-shaped blades that slide in a powerful shearing motion, delivered by a strong thrust piston supported by a ¾-inch flow control valve. This ensures fast, controlled cutting cycles with reliable performance in dense vegetation.

Precision is enhanced by the mechanical adjustment of the cutting angle, allowing the operator to set the ideal position for each task. The hydraulic system requires only a hydraulic hammer line and does not need a drainage line, simplifying installation and operation. All safety guards comply with CE standards, ensuring safe use in all working conditions.

Every model can be supplied with a complete turnkey kit that includes a machine-specific mounting bracket and a dedicated hose kit, allowing quick installation and immediate operation without any extra preparation.

Forestry pruner

OMEF

The OMEF forestry pruner is designed for operators who need a tool that delivers fast, accurate, and reliable performance when pruning trees or cutting small to medium vegetation. As part of the OMEF CS series, it works with excavators, skid steers, backhoe loaders, and telescopic handlers. With five models offering cutting capacities from 100 to 420 millimetres, users can choose the right size for their machine and their specific type of work.

A major advantage of the CS series is its lightweight, streamlined design. By removing the holding grapple, the attachment becomes more agile and easier to manoeuvre in dense vegetation or elevated areas. This allows operators to move quickly between branches and maintain high precision while working.

The pruner is equipped with a 360 degree rotation system that lets the operator position the blade at the perfect angle for each cut. This greatly reduces the need to reposition the machine and helps achieve clean, controlled results across a variety of environments such as roadsides, plantations, and wooded areas.

Its hydraulic system is simple and efficient, using two double acting lines. One powers the cutting cylinder to provide strong shearing force, and the other manages rotation to ensure smooth, continuous adjustment. This setup keeps the attachment dependable even during long or demanding tasks.

Built from high strength, wear resistant steel, the frame and blade are made to handle tough conditions and repeated cutting cycles without losing performance. Each model can also be supplied as a complete kit with a machine specific mounting bracket and hose set, making installation quick and uncomplicated.

The OMEF forestry pruner brings together precision, manoeuvrability, and long lasting durability, making it a dependable choice for forestry work, agricultural maintenance, and general vegetation management.
