2023 Gearmore Tree Skirter P2000SK

This COLLARD Skirter trims two half rows with 6 high speed swinging stainless steel knives. The heart of this Skirter is the unique lightweight aluminum alloy extrusion that provides a rugged rust proof frame work for the cutting knives. The blade housings are strong with breakaway system. The COLLARD Tree Skirter is a fast, effective way to keep lower branches off the ground. The main reason to skirt trees is to prevent easy access of insects and pests of all types.
