Recently, I purchased one of your open front brush cutters from one of your older (LOL) Guru’s (Dick). I could not be happier with it. Talk about heavy duty! This cutter is all and more of what it is advertised. I appreciated the way it came wrapped for protection in shipping. This thing is a beast. It handles the big stuff, yet if you want to use it to just mow, it does a great job also. I will put it up against any other make my neighbors might have. Thanks for the attention to detail and quality product. Also a shout out to Dick for discussing which cutter would work best for me. He seems very knowledgeable on your products.

Dick – Just wanted to send you a quick note letting you know I’m officially a proud owner of an X4 Industrial Brush Cutter Open Front, and SP500 Forestry Mulcher. I have also made my brush & tree mastication and fire mitigation business official. Like we talked, both of the Skid Pro products will be the obvious back bone of my operation. I’ve got a bunch of before and after photos, along w/ videos if any of your prospective customers would want to check them out. And if there is anyone in northern California or southern Oregon needing a product demo, I would be happy to facilitate that as well. Thanks for providing incredibly innovative products of the highest quality, built for day-in and day-out commercial use. I look forward to many years of using Skid Pro products to help me grow my business.

Dick - Just wanted to thank you and the Skid Pro team for making me part of your team. This equipment is a beast! Running on a low flow John Deere 319 (15 gpm) and the results are amazing! I cleared an over grown acre in about an hour. I can’t say enough about the quality of this equipment. Top notch!!! Hats off to your designers.

Erik: I use the shredder (Skid Pro X4 Industrial Brush Cutter – Open Front) mostly for cleaning out under large oak trees on my land in Texas. The undergrowth ranges between 1” to 6” diameter brush and it takes me around 15 minutes per oak tree. I also use the shredder to clear paths through the brush and I would guess it takes me around 30 minutes to clear a 50 yard path wide enough for my 16’ tractor-pulled mower to get through for subsequent trail maintenance. I use to clear under large trees by first cutting the brush with a tree saw attachment, stacking the brush with a grapple rake and then burning it. That would take at least one hour per tree and doesn’t include the time necessary to change attachments, monitor a fire, etc. Another real advantage of the Skid Pro shredder is the ability to cut brush at the ground level, unlike my tractor mower that leaves brush stems quite a bit above ground. Paths cut by your X4 shredder are much easier to navigate and you are able to avoid the tire punctures that stubs can cause. So all in all I am very pleased with my Skid Pro X4 shredder, and just wish I had more time to enjoy it! I am happy to share this with you, and you are welcome to share my experience with any of your customers. Thanks again for making a great product and also being readily available on the customer service side to help w/ any questions. Thanks again,

Hello Erik, good to hear from you. We have been very busy with our new open X4 cutter and pallet forks. They work well and the cutter is very impressive! Shipping & delivery went quite well. We spoke with the freight company and they set up a date and an approximate time for delivery. The driver called about an hour before he arrived. They were helpful in the unloading process, and it only took about 15 minutes. I have recommended your products to some of my business associates. We wanted to thank you again for all your explanation and insight to both use and purchase of the attachments.

Hey Mike! Everything is going great I’ve used my grapple and cutter more than anything and I have to say I’m fairly hard on my equipment and it’s held up flawlessly with absolutely zero issues! I’m not interested in any new attachments at them moment but if I am I will be sure and give you guys a call I’ve really appreciated your customer service and quality products. Thanks,

Hey Joe, I'd love to have a grapple rake but right now I can’t afford one LOL! I'm currently putting in an RV/camper facility for oil field workers . It's coming along pretty well despite the year-long monsoon rain season we are still in . I just recently took the X4 mower to the barn from my back garage and exchanged it for the dozer blade . Hooked it up, tested function and all is working. Hoping to get it out sometime soon to see what it can do. I hope you had a merry Christmas and have a good New Year. I'd like to say thank you again for great products and awesome customer service. I will only buy your brand in the future. You have been very helpful and stayed in contact throughout everything. That is much appreciated and something you dont see much of anymore. Thank you for all you have done! Happy new year and I'm sure we will be in touch in the future as I keep gaining projects.

Dick – I would like to thank you for walking me through the purchase process of a brush cutter and explaining the best fit for my needs. Got advice from all angles and yours proved to be spot on. I have used the Open X4 and it is truly a beast! It does what I needed and beyond. The quality build is obvious and the performance embarrasses your competition! Congrats to you and your team and company. Thanks again,

Hey Brad, Just wanted to get back with you and say thanks for the fine service. Everything you guy's did from sales to delivery was excellent and very much appreciate doing business with people like you and Skid Pro. I give you an A+. Now for the how the equipment is working out, well, I'm still waiting for my machine from Bobcat service going on 3 months now. Let's just say they’re not Skid Pro oriented. In the meantime I look at X4 Industrial Brush Cutter and think maybe by Christmas I will be putting it to the test and will send you a video of it in action. Until then, thanks.

Mr. Todd, Thanks for checking in! I appreciate all of your help in ordering and getting the brush cutter to me. The entire process was easy from the time I called you until it was delivered to my door. I really appreciate you being willing to help in getting everything started and looking into any issues I had in getting everything up and running. The initial problem was on my end, the aux. hydraulics switch was faulty on my machine. Once I got that fixed though everything has been running great. The brush cutter runs great as advertised and can do more than I even realized! Georgia underbrush doesn’t stand a chance against this thing! We’ve tested it to it’s limits and it holds up great. You can tell it’s overbuilt and that’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s nice to be able to hook it up and know that it’s gonna get the work done. I look forward to using it a lot more and hopefully getting more implements from you in the future. Skid Pro will be my first choice in getting quality equipment to get the job done! Here’s a couple pictures of the X4 cutter’s work. Thanks again!

Hey Mike, Thanks for the email. The order and delivery process for my mower was great and I've put about 60 hours on it now. I was kinda hoping to get a few little side jobs to help pay for it but the first "little" job I got paid $5,000 and I have another $1,500 job to do, so it essentially paid for itself in two jobs! This mower just lives to eat sagebrush and the bigger the better. It will plow through 10' tall Basin Sage that is so thick a meadow mouse couldn't get through it and my machine is only pumping 17.1 gal/min. When I mow the big stuff I do wish I had enough flow to use the full potential of the mower but this mower does exactly what you guys claim and then some. I sharpened the blades once and I can get to the blades with my grinder without taking them off. Awesome mower and Skid Pro has been awesome! My wife took a video for you and I'll send it soon. Thanks again,
Florida
Erik, I have been using both pieces and can’t believe the sheer force of the brush cutter, it has exceeded my expectations thus far, and will be a great asset for years to come! I am hard on equipment and I know that this beast is going to be able to keep up with the amount of work that I am going to put it under. From the very first call I made to Skid Pro to the last call, it has been a pleasure to work with you, customer service at its finest, and that is something that is rare these days! I can’t wait to do some more business with you, it has been a pleasure and I will definitely refer business when asked about implements for skid steers, happy thanksgiving and thank you for everything

Open X4 is fricken AWESOME! I need to get some good video and send it to you. I have only put maybe 15 hours on it, but have cleared so much brush that I’ve been in places on our 55 acres that I’ve never seen before! The Texas drought/flood cycle has made our Yaupon Holly become incredibly invasive, so I’m clearing the jungle. This thing is a BEAST! Also, I tore into my JD track steer this winter to clean it up for spring, and found out a mouse had eaten some wires to a hydraulic solenoid. There’s a pretty good possibility I’ve not even run it on high flow yet!! Regardless, I LOVE it! It’s a super product..

A closed front brush cutter is a skid steer attachment that mows and cuts down thick brush and small trees. The reason this machine is called "closed front" is because of the shape of the end of the machine. This attachment has the cutting blades fully covered, decreasing the cutting capacity but also providing a more safe option. Still, don't stick your fingers near the blades.
The reason the closed front brush cutter is slightly safer than an open front is that the blades are tucked under the deck. This tucking of the blades gives you less blade exposure, lessening the cutting capacity from 8 inches to 6 inches.
Yes, our closed front brush cutter does have a high flow option. Additionally, with this option you get the larger hood which allows the high flow motor to fit.
