Tractor-Mounted Branch Shredder
Tractor-Mounted Branch Shredder
Efficiently shreds pruning branches, shoots, stalks and grass left in olive groves, vineyards and fruit orchards using a powerful hammer-rotor system.
PTO drive, hydraulic side shift and an adjustable rear roller provide stable, safe and efficient operation beneath trees.
Tractor-Mounted Branch Shredder
Shred pruning residues where they fall and return them to your orchard.

PROFESSIONAL ORCHARD CLEARANCE
A Powerful Solution That Reduces Post-Pruning Workload
The SİSSAN Tractor-Mounted Branch Shredder
is designed to shred branches, shoots, stalks, grass and plant residues
left on the ground after pruning in fruit orchards, olive groves, vineyards
and other agricultural production areas.
Mounted on the tractor’s three-point linkage, the machine is driven by the PTO.
Its high-speed hammer rotor lifts pruning residues into the housing and shreds
them through repeated, powerful impacts. The processed material is then spread
back onto the surface in smaller, more uniform pieces.
This helps reduce the labour required to collect, pile and remove branches
from the orchard. Leaving the shredded organic material on the soil surface
supports natural decomposition and the return of organic matter over time.

Effective Shredding with a High-Speed Hammer Rotor
The machine’s primary working component is a high-speed hammer rotor housed
inside the body. Swinging hammers mounted on the rotor repeatedly strike
branches, shoots, stalks and crop residues, reducing them into smaller pieces.
The enclosed shredding chamber allows material to contact the rotor and internal
counter-shredding surfaces several times. This operating principle turns long,
bulky pruning residues left on the ground into a more manageable material.
The adjustable rear roller helps maintain the selected working height and allows
the machine to follow the ground more evenly. This supports consistent shredding
results across varying terrain conditions.
Equipment Designed for Intensive Orchard Work
Hammer Rotor System
Durable hammers mounted on the high-speed rotor shred branches, shoots,
stalks, grass and crop residues through powerful impacts.
Hydraulic Side Shift
Moves the machine laterally relative to the tractor centreline,
making it easier to work closer to tree trunks, row edges and orchard boundaries.
PTO Drive
Power from the tractor PTO is transmitted to the shredding rotor
through the gearbox and protected side-drive system.
Adjustable Rear Roller
Follows the ground profile to stabilise the working height,
support more uniform shredding and help protect the rotor.
Protective Chain Curtain
Helps contain stones, branches and other material that could otherwise
be thrown from the shredding chamber during operation.
Robust Body Construction
The enclosed rotor housing, reinforced mounting points and protected
transmission system provide a structure suited to intensive agricultural use.

Easier Access Beneath Trees and Along Row Edges
With a fixed machine, the tractor may need to travel very close to the tree.
The hydraulic side-shift system allows the shredder to move laterally away
from the tractor’s travel line.
This feature provides a major operating advantage in olive groves, walnut and
almond orchards, citrus plantations, vineyards and other row-crop orchards.
Using a suitable tractor hydraulic connection, the operator can adjust the
machine position and approach tree trunks and orchard edges with greater control.
Effective on Different Types of Agricultural Residue
Olive Groves
Suitable for shredding olive branches left between rows and beneath trees
after pruning.
Fruit Orchards
Helps manage pruning residues in apple, pear, peach, apricot, citrus,
walnut, almond and similar orchards.
Vineyards
Helps shred vine shoots and thin branches left between rows after pruning.
Fields and Open Areas
Suitable for shredding stalks, weeds, brush, crop residues and similar
surface material.
Turn Pruning Waste into a Useful Resource
Branches left on the ground after pruning can obstruct tractor travel,
spraying, fertilising and other orchard-maintenance operations. The branch
shredder reduces this material into smaller pieces and helps keep the working
area orderly.
More uniform distribution of the shredded material helps reduce the risk
of long branches catching on equipment, makes subsequent field operations
easier and returns pruning residues to the natural organic cycle.
Select the Model That Matches Your Tractor and Orchard
The maximum branch diameter the machine can process varies according to
whether the wood is green or dry, tree species, rotor and hammer configuration,
forward speed, tractor power and machine model.
When selecting the right model, consider working width, machine weight,
tractor horsepower, PTO speed, hydraulic connection requirements and the
average branch diameter encountered in the orchard.
Never clean, adjust or service the machine until the tractor PTO has been
disengaged, the engine has been switched off and all moving parts have come
to a complete stop. Protective covers and chain curtains must remain fitted
during operation.

Which Working Width Should You Choose?
Choose the right model according to your orchard row spacing, daily work capacity
and tractor power for more efficient operation.
165 cm Model
Agile operation, easy manoeuvrability and lower tractor power requirements
for vineyards and orchards with narrow row spacing.
185 cm Model
A balanced choice between manoeuvrability and work capacity,
suitable for medium-sized orchards.
210 cm Model
Covers more ground in a single pass in wider rows,
providing higher daily work capacity.
Hydraulic Side-Shift Option
Provides easier access to pruning residues beneath tree trunks,
along row edges and outside the tractor wheel track.
Machine selection should consider not only engine horsepower, but also PTO power,
lifting capacity, machine weight and the average branch density in the orchard.
