WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT OUR BRUSH CUTTER
Virginia
Last week, I worked my new 72” Industrial Brush Cutter for about 4 hours, clearing overgrowth on our 3/8th mile private road. It met all of my hopes and expectations for performance. It tackled 4” and greater growth including holly bushes, which is really a hard wood. The unit is very well balanced, as it runs as smooth as glass when revved up to top RPM. My Case 1845C rated at 16 gpm handled the 72” Industrial Brush Cutter very well. I hit a few rocks. The blades held up well. The quality of the steel in the blades is, apparently, very good. I should also add that the fit and finish of the brush cutter is very nice. I love the powder coated finish. You may quote me on this. Best cutter ever.

Josh, just received a promo e mail from you and it reminded me that I had intended to give you some feedback on your 72" industrial brush cutter that we purchased. We have used it extensively this past summer and fall in heavy willow thickets along creek bottoms, grass and very tough soap weed (Yucca). The cutter is exactly as advertised and the only wear evidence is brush marks on the sides of the cutter. We use a Bobcat S630 at 6500' elevation which handles it with ease. We are very pleased with the cutter, I call it a masticator/cutter, and I am very pleased with your service at Skid Pro. Thank You!

I have in the past used a bobcat 72" brush cutter on the TL 140 standard flow machine ( 19 gpm) that I am using to power your 72" industrial rotary cutter. I would say that your machine out preforms the bobcat 3 to 1. I have cut about 2 acres of very dense (too thick to walk thru) swamp brush most of which stands 8' tall and consists of 2" to 6" diameter soft woody plants. This is much heavier brush than anything you show in your videos. I have also cut about 3 acres of grassy fields, a walking trail thru a thick cedar and spruce forest and a hardwood forest. This machine has cut thru cedar trees 6 to 8" thick by taking my time to cut through the trunk to fell the tree and then chopping the trunk and branches to pieces. By taking my time to allow the machine to cut, the work it can do is absolutely beyond compare to the bobcat design. The direct drive hydraulic motor, heavy fly wheel and 4 blades are no doubt the secret to this machines performance. The two way motor is very convenient to unjam any obstruction and never leave your seat. The pressure relief valve keeps me in check not to over abuse the cutter. I would recommend this product to anyone with a standard flow machine.
Alabama
I took delivery of my new X4 Open Front brush cutter and put it to the test yesterday. I am running it on my 2020 John Deere 325G. As a background, I have a 300 acre timber farm in south Alabama. Many planted pines (crop) and scattered hardwoods. The climate here is warm and plenty of rain, so underbrush is a big problem. On the test run, the X4 performed fantastic! I have historically used a Deere MX6 cutter on my tractor, but cutting this stuff was tedious and tough on the tractor having to push through the heavy brush. I’m very familiar with my 325G, so the “learning curve” with the X4 was pretty easy. It literally devours everything in its path very smoothly….the videos do not lie! A couple of neighboring property owners were looking at it and were amazed at the heavy construction. It came on the pallet ready to hook up and run. My rep, Troy, was very helpful and answered all questions. Great experience so far!
