Ah a forestry mulcher. A hydro axe is a shear type attachment that cuts the trees off usual mounted on a loader type carrier.

Hydro Axe builds a variety of equipment for tree harvesting and land clearing. The used something similar to clear our land for a new power line.

There was an old hydro axe that was used here on the Union Pacific right of way some years ago. It was essentially an old payloader with a "bush hog" type mower in place of a bucket. Between the roar of the "mower" and that of the old Detroit motor, it made an awful racket!

I think hydro axe is probably the name of the company that builds the machine attachment. I did not get a good side photo but seem to recall seeing that name on the side of the hood as I drove by. It is a tracked vehicle like a cat with a hydraulic drive rotating drum on the front that just chews up everything.

Yes should have been more specific.
They are the brand name of a wheeled/articulated tool carrier. Up here they are the only ones we see with a hydraulic shear harvester but they also are seen with feller buncher heads with hot saws, rotary mowers, flail mowers and mulching heads.
Because we only see those shear heads on the Hydro axe carriers people tend to generically call them hydro axes.
