Skid Steer Brush Cutters

A skid steer brush cutter is a type of attachment that can be used with a skid steer loader, which is a small and versatile machine that can perform various tasks on different terrains. A brush cutter is designed to cut through thick vegetation, such as grass, weeds, shrubs, and small trees. Some can even go through large trees. For example, this brush cutter can cut down 8 inch trees. It can be useful for clearing land, creating firebreaks, or maintaining trails. A skid steer brush cutter usually has a rotating blade or disc that can slice through the plants with ease. Some models also have mulching or shredding features that can reduce the debris and leave a cleaner surface.

Direct drive is a type of hydraulic system that transfers power from the skid steer's engine directly to the attachment's motor, without using any gears or chains. This means that the attachment can operate at higher speeds and torque, with less maintenance and noise. Direct drive also reduces fuel consumption and emissions, making it more cost-effective. Direct drive is especially useful for attachments that require high performance and durability, such as brush cutters. With direct drive, you can get more work done in less time and with less hassle.

Skid steer brush cutter blades are designed to cut through thick vegetation and brush, but they can get dull over time. If you want to keep your blades sharp and efficient, you need to follow some simple steps to sharpen them. Here's how:

- First, you need to remove the blades from the brush cutter. You can use a wrench or a socket to loosen the bolts that hold the blades in place. Be careful not to damage the blades or the cutter head while doing this.
- Next, you need to clean the blades with a wire brush or a rag. Remove any dirt, debris, or rust that might affect the sharpening process. You can also use a mild detergent or a degreaser to clean the blades if they are very dirty.
- Then, you need to clamp the blades securely to a workbench or a vise. You can use a file, a grinder, or a sharpening stone to sharpen the blades. You should follow the original angle of the blade edge and remove any nicks or burrs. You should also check the balance of the blades by hanging them from a nail or a screw. If one side is heavier than the other, you need to remove more material from that side until they are balanced.
- Finally, you need to reinstall the blades on the brush cutter. You should tighten the bolts securely and make sure the blades are aligned properly. You can also apply some lubricant or anti-seize compound to the bolts to prevent corrosion and rust.

Another option is you can call your guru and order brand new blades. 

What separates the Skid Pro Industrial Brush Cutter from other brush cutters is its superior design, performance and durability. The Industrial Brush Cutter features a heavy duty deck, a direct drive motor, a four blade system and a large cutting capacity. This giant cutter can maul through 8 inch trees and more. These features allow it to handle tough jobs and thick vegetation with ease. Our brush cutter is the ideal choice for land clearing, forestry, landscaping and agriculture applications.

When it comes to brush cutters, or brush hogs, you will notice that there are two main variations. Either a cutter will be a closed front, where there is no exposed blades in the front, or an open front, where the blade tips are exposed off the end. These both have their own benefits, and neither is better than the other. The closed front allows you to use the front as a stop letting you get closer to obstacles without hitting them and is slightly cheaper. To counter act that, the open front has a larger cutting capacity and can be used to take down larger trees and brush.

The one you choose comes down to what you are looking to do for work. If you are looking to do forestry work or clear an area that has mature trees along with brush, then you would want to go with an open front. However, if you are maintaining an already cleared area, or the area doesn't have trees larger than 6 inches, then the closed front would be a great choice.

The reason we are so proud of this flywheel is the effect it has on cutting performance. With a larger flywheel you gain both durability and momentum in your cutting. The momentum allows you to take down larger material without having to worry about bogging down your cutter or mower. With less down time, you can get your jobs done quicker with less stopping.

Most skid steers and wheeled loaders run a standard quick attach plate, meaning our attachments can work on all the major brands. Our brush cutters work with John Deere, Caterpillar, Bobcat, JCB, Gehl, Kubota, New Holland, ASV, and more.
