The valve offers clear benefits in operation. The grapple’s controls respond more sensitively, and the fast movements make work more intuitive. These factors increase the tree shears’ user-friendliness, making it an even more pleasant tool for professionals.
The valve measures just 60 x 120 x 150 mm. Its small size allows it to be installed, for example, directly inside the tree shear’s frame, saving space and simplifying installation.

The Wood Grapples developed by KX TreeShears stand out from competitors’ products due to their modular design and detachable blade. The modular structure makes the grapple lightweight, user-friendly, efficient, and versatile. It also simplifies maintenance. Instead of replacing the entire tree shear, the modular design allows for the replacement of only worn or damaged parts. The blade can be quickly detached when needed, making the grapple suitable for loading as well.
Customers have been highly satisfied with KX Tree Shears. The high-quality grapples save time, partly because the jaw opening angle is wider than average, allowing a larger amount of wood to be collected at once. Additionally, the grapple’s sleek design enhances visibility for the operator.

Thanks to the new innovative speed valve, users can get even more out of the already efficient grapple. KX-TreeShears’ wood grapples are already widely used in the Nordic countries, other parts of Europe, and North America, and the new valve is a natural addition to the product family.
