TMK STORYThe TMK Energiakoura Ltd is a company based in Hankasalmi Finland, which manufactures tree shears and their attachments. The shears are designed to work for example in excavators, telehandlers and skid steers. The Company is founded in 2013 when one man’s hobby started to turn into a professional business. The products are designed and manufactured in Finland out of high quality materials. TMK has solid export networks widely around Europe and North America, and new export networks are found and opened frequently. TMK is one of the leading tree shear manufacturers in Finland, and company’s goal is to grow into one of the best known tree shear manufacturers around the world. Already for many years TMK has put effort to product development and thanks to this TMK has been able to provide innovative solutions for the tree shear market. TMK is determined to be one of the most innovative tree shear manufacturers now and in the future, by continuously investing in R&D.

“I am an earthmoving entrepreneur from central Finland. I also have a small farm with some forest. The forests weren’t thinned often enough. When I finally had the time to go to the forest, there was always too much snow. Also my excavators were just standing idle on the yard. I started to think to a solution to this situation. Late in the fall of 2009 I starter to build a guillotine shear at my work shop. It needed to be simple, strong, efficient and the structure needed to be so that the shear wouldn’t cause unnecessary damage to the trees that weren’t needed to cut down. First prototype saw the light of the day, which lasted for half an hour before breaking apart. Back to work shop and after few missteps a tree shear was created which was surprisingly efficient in the forest thinnings with an excavator.

After little while working with the shear I thought that maybe someone else needs this tool as well. I asked my father in law Reijo with me to the forest. Already retired engineer came with a pen and paper and drew the first sketches of the shear. My brother Mika is a design engineer and he drew such drawings on a computer that the modern day factory could read. So in the Spring of 2010 I drove with my shear and drawings to Multia, Finland. Multimek Oy agreed to manufacture a test series of five shears. Homemade videos in Youtube got people interested in affordable and simple product. Few upgrades have been made during the way, but the core of the shear is still original. Now we have manufactured over 1750 shears and the positive feedback from the customers encourages us to continue with our efforts!”

TMK Tree Shear got started from an own need, and it was developed to work efficiently even in the most challenging work conditions. To make this possible, the product needed to be easy to use, reliable and productive. Thorough designing and engineering resulted in a TMK Tree Shear which was very efficient and easy to operate.

In the manufacturing process TMK trusts in high resistant Hardox and Raex steels, which endure hard wearing and torsion. These top quality materials, Finnish craftsmanship and meticulously tested structure ensure that TMK products will perform even in the toughest environments. Based on these factors we have produced a product family, which offers reliable and efficient tools from tractor cranes to 30 ton excavators, and from miniloaders to harvesters. As the products are simple to use, they are good fit for smaller scale clearances, and thanks to the top class productivity TMK products are also a trusted choice for many of the professionals in the industry.

Base plates, which are sharpened to act as cutting blades, are manufactured from Hardox 500 -class steel. With this is ensured that the blade withstands wearing and torsions. Exceptionally brilliant structure allows TMK to have thinner blades than competitors. This thinner blade sinks in to the trees easier and v-shaped home base holds the trees firmly. The simple structure has proven to be extremely strong and durable. This allows the operator to help themselves with the TMK products when moving with the machines, without worrying that the product will get damaged. This way the productivity and speed of the work grows, especially in tight and challenging spots. The brackets are welded onto bolt attached plates, which makes it possible to change the brackets quickly. This enables the same shear to be used with multiple different machines.

TMK 200NEW KIND OF AGILITY.

The TMK 200 ”Beaver” is the newest addition to the TMK product family. Beavers small size and precisely designed structure makes the shear good fit to for example tractor cranes, miniloaders and small excavators. This powerhouse, weighing only 150 kg, cuts 200 mm tree comfortably. Thanks to its light weight and strong capsular structure TMK 200 fits to wide range of works from ditch clearances to forest thinning’s. Custom shaped blade keeps the big trees close to the grapple, maximizing the cutting force, and scissor-like cutting motion cuts neatly also the smaller bushes and leaves a really clean cut. TMK Beavers recommended hydraulic pressure is 200-280 Bars depending on the chosen cylinder.

TMK Turbo is a patented telescopic cylinder, where the smaller cylinder works always first

and the bigger one joins in only when little cylinder runs out of power. This way we are able

to combine the little cylinders’ quickness and bigger cylinders’ power in one cylinder.

TMK Turbo grows your working productivity up to 15%!

TMK 300AUTHENTIC AND ORIGINAL.

The TMK 300 is the beginning of the TMK product family. TMK 300 has the widest attachment options of all TMK products, and that makes it into one of the most versatile shears on the market. TMK 300 fits well to small scale users, thanks to its simple operating, and all the way to the professionals thanks to its high productivity. Product family’s matriarch weighs only 260 kg, which makes it possible to use it even on a 5 ton excavator, but it also endures the stress from a 20 ton excavator. Thanks to the capsular structure and efficient blade, 300mm tree can be cut neatly. The Shear can be used also in the bigger miniloaders and skid steers. Unlike the other models, TMK 300 can be equipped also with a delimber option. Recommended hydraulic pressure for TMK 300 is 200-300 Bars, depending on the chosen cylinder.

HYDRAULIC EXTENSION BEAM COLLECTOREXTRA REACH TO WORK.Hydraulic extension beam is the professionals choice. Attached to the quick hitch, the hydraulic extension produces the much needed extra reach, without sacrificing the agility. The extension beam is about 2 meters long from the bracket and extends another 1,6 meters, so this totals to about 3,6 meters of extra reach. Using the extension is simple and going back to excavation work is fast and easy. In the designing process we have kept in mind the needed features at forest thinning’s and clearence’s, and therefore the machine fits to turn even in the tightest of places with the extension beat attached. The heel of the extension is strengthened and can be used to help the excavator to move inside the forest in challenging conditions.

TOGETHER FORWARD.Your TMK Tree Shear can be equipped with the collector which increases the productivity of the shear significantly. Collector works automatically with the shears open-close motion up to the point where the gathered trees are dropped. When the shear is closed, the collector arm opens up to the other side of the trees, and when the shear is opened again, the collector arm first grabs the trees firmly in its grip. This way the trees stay all the time firmly in the shear. Only when the bunch is dropped, one electric line is needed to let the bunch go from the grip. Collectors simple operation enables fast and comfortable working. Thanks to its high productivity, the collector is TMKs most popular attachment worldwide.

DELIMBERLAST TOUCH WITH DELIMBING.The delimbing gives the last touch to the tree clearing as well as the TMK attachment package. TMK has the first easily controllable delimber on the market without expensive feeding systems. The delimbing is smooth thanks to the special design of the space between the delimber blade and the counter blade attached to the grapple. This shape gives the shear a little room to tilt before snapping the tree with the blade. This way the fast and smooth motion is ensured, leading to both fast and more importantly easy working. In the nordic countries the delimber is really common attachment because of the demand of stripped trees. Delimber is also possible to use without electricity or separate hydraulic line.

SOLID EXTENSION BEAMWHEN YOU NEED TO GO THE EXTRA METER.Your TMK Tree Shear can be equipped with solid extension beam. If it doesn’t suit the job at hand, the bolt attached plate enables the beam to be taken off easily. Extension is a good fit especially with delimber, as it makes the motion faster and smoother thanks to longer reach. Solid extension was designed to work with tilt rotators to ensure that the sensitive hoses doesn’t get damaged in the bushes, but kept in a safe distance from the branches and minimize the damages. Available in few different lengths, but the 800mm one is by far the most popular one.

SOLID LINKAGEPIN POINT ACCURACY.TMKs Linkage brings more speed and versatility to TMK Tree Shears use. Linkage was originally designed to speed up the working with hydraulic extension beam, but now it enables the shear to be used in machines that doesn’t have a feature to tilt the shear up and down. Now we can offer a solution to use the shear with tractor cranes and harvesters. Linkage tilts 165 degrees, which ensures wide movements and small enough cylinder keep the motion fast. Linkage is attached to the shear with bolts, so it can be taken off quickly and used again on a different machine when needed. We highly recommend to having the solid linkage over the hanging one, as the solid linkage will complement the shears unique features better by giving more accurate handling.

TMK 200

HANGING LINKAGEAGILITY TO LOADING.The hanging linkage is the tractor contractors safe bet. Working with tree grab is already familiar and the same work habits have grew strong and is wanted to use also with the tree clearing. Hanging linkage is attached to the rotator in the cranes, so the shear handles exactly the same as all the other attachments in cranes before. Shear can be rotated as well as tilted, which will help on the loading and unloading. However the hanging linkage is not as accurate when working with bushes and less efficient with delimber due to the extra movable joint.

SPLITTING BLADEBETTER IN HALF.With the splitting blade you can finalize the trees cut with the shear without unnecessary hassle. The splitting blade attaches to the side of the shear with three bolts. Splitting blade works best with the bolt-on-blade models, when you can also load or move the trees with the same shear. Also the delimber blades can be used to help to move the split wood.


HEELALWAYS THERE FOR YOU.With the heel you get more support and reliability to the shear when moving in any terrain. You can safely take support with it, no matter the size of the machine. The heel attaches to the backside of the shear with bolts offering good support point when moving with the machine. Extra friction never hurt anyone.
