TREE SAW Features
Productive, safe and efficient tree sawing
Productive and high performing
- A 3,000-rpm blade achieves continuous, clean cuts from one machine position.
- Efficient design saves time and money compared to bucket trucks, chainsaws or dedicated forestry machinery.
- Dielectric option provides protection around live wires.
Built to make tough jobs easier
- Saw head rotates 180 degrees to optimize cutting angle.
- TE26 models extend to reach working heights as high as 26 feet. The TE18C reaches up to 18 feet and can fold into a compact position for easier transportation.
- Compatible with small- to mid-size carriers such as skid steers and skid loaders (including Bobcat machines), compact track loaders, tractors and telehandlers.
Less maintenance, more time on the job
- Minimizes maintenance with no loose chains, bar oil or required daily service.

Which Trim Ex Model Fits Your Job
TE18C, the compact choice
Reaches 18 feet, weighs 600 lbs, and folds into a compact position for easier transport. Its steel offset boom suits tighter sites and smaller carriers. This is the model for landscapers and property owners who move between jobs.
TE26D, the dielectric reach model
Reaches 26 feet with a 4.5-foot boom extension, weighs 650 lbs, and uses a dielectric boom that adds protection when trimming around live wires. This is the model for utility line clearance and roadside work near power.
TE26S, the heavy-duty steel model
Reaches 26 feet, weighs 900 lbs, and uses a steel boom for the most demanding trimming. This is the model for daily commercial limb work where durability matters most.
What machines run a Trim Ex
The Trim Ex mounts to skid steers, skid loaders, compact track loaders, tractors and telehandlers. Because it works on a boom rather than at ground level, it also suits excavators and mini excavators for overhead limb work and reaching across ditches or banks. It needs only 10 to 30 GPM, so low-flow machines can run it. If you are not sure your carrier is a fit, tell us the make and model and we will confirm before you buy.
Limb saw, pole saw, boom saw: what operators call the Trim Ex
Depending on the trade, this attachment gets called a skid steer limb saw, a pole saw, a boom saw or a tree trimmer. They all describe the same tool: a boom-mounted circular saw that reaches up and cuts overhanging limbs and branches while the operator stays in the cab. That is different from a tree shear or a felling saw, which cut a whole tree at the base. The Trim Ex is built for trimming limbs and clearing overhead vegetation along fence lines, roadsides, trails and utility corridors, from a machine you already own.
Tree Limb Saw
Frequently Asked Questions
The Trim Ex, formerly sold as TreeFrogg skid steer tree saws, is a boom mounted circular saw for slicing through overhanging tree limbs and other vegetation. It pairs with small to mid size carriers you already own and suits agriculture, landscaping, tree care and utility line work.
Up to 26 feet with the TE26D and TE26S. The TE18C reaches 18 feet and folds into a compact position for easier transport. The TE26 models also include a 4.5 foot boom extension.
Yes, as much as 180 degrees. That lets the operator optimise the cutting angle and make continuous clean cuts from a single machine position, which cuts down repositioning time and noticeably lifts productivity along long tree lines.
All three models run on 10 to 30 GPM. The TE18C weighs 600 lbs, the TE26D weighs 650 lbs and the TE26S weighs 900 lbs. Blade size is 24 inches across the range, spinning at 3,000 rpm.
Yes. The TE26D uses a dielectric boom, which adds protection when trimming around live wires. The TE18C and TE26S use steel booms, with the TE18C offset for easier positioning.
Much less. There are no loose chains, no bar oil and no required daily service. The carbide tipped blade can be sharpened and the tips can be replaced, and a steel housing protects the hydraulic lines from limb damage.
For routine limb work, generally yes. Fecon positions the Trim Ex as an efficient design that saves time and money compared with bucket trucks, chainsaws or dedicated forestry machinery, because it runs off a carrier you already own and works from the ground.
All three names describe it. The Trim Ex is a boom-mounted circular saw that reaches up to 26 feet to cut overhanging limbs and branches, so operators call it a skid steer limb saw, a pole saw or a boom saw depending on the region. It trims limbs rather than felling whole trees. If you need to cut a tree down at the base, a tree shear or felling saw is the tool instead.
The Trim Ex is built for skid steers, compact track loaders, tractors and telehandlers, and its boom-mounted design also lends itself to excavators and mini excavators for overhead limb work and reaching across ditches or banks. It runs on 10 to 30 GPM, so low-flow machines can power it. Tell your dealer the make, model and flow of your machine and they will confirm the fit.
