A Skid steer brush cutter was invented based upon a definitive need to clear heavy brush from ditches, future roadways, construction sites, and driveways.  Prior to the invention of the device, smaller mowers had to be used to cut shrubs and grass.  When workers encountered small diameter trees and exceptionally large shrubs, they had to use machetes and axes to clear out the heavier growth.  There were plenty of instances, of course, where standard mowers were heavily damaged due to operator miscalculation of exactly how much they were able to cut. A mower was therefore developed that would attach to a skid steer and that would be capable of cutting everything from grass to small trees measuring up to 5 inches in diameter. 

Equipment Features at a Glance The skid steer brush cutter is controlled by a heavy duty direct drive gear box that raises and lower the mower.  The unit can fit any modern sized skid steer thanks to a universal mounting plate.  It can also be attached to a forklift via an optional quick tach. The raised front funnels brush, while a heavy duty push bar helps push over small trees.  Hydraulic hoses and couplers are protected from debris by a sturdy nylon sleeve. Skid steer brush mowers can cut vegetation both at ground level and above ground level.  The operator positions the deck at the manufacturer recommended height, and the hydraulic system and sturdy blades do the rest. A hydraulic motor cushion valve regulates the blade system and will implement a system shut down in the event the unit is overtaxed.  This protects the mower’s hydraulic system and blades when cutting large diameter shrubs and trees.

Applications Skid steer brush cutters are often used to cut trails through parks.  The mower can cut grass, brush, and trees down to ground level.  Mulch or wood chips can then be applied to create a walking surface for the trail.

• In commercial areas, the mower can be used to clear unwanted brush away from break areas, areas around ponds, fountains, or fences.

• Prior to general construction activities being implemented, a good once over with a skid steer cutter can clean a lot from tall grass, undergrowth, saplings, weeds, and trees measuring up to 5 inches in diameter.

The skid steer brush cutter can also be used to create mulch from unwanted brush it mows down.  The operator positions the deck at the height recommended by the particular manufacturer.  Then, the unit is driven slowly over vegetation as the operator uses the hydraulic tilt to push the vegetation over.  Blades cut into the vegetation as it is pushed over. The back of the cutter is then brought down and drug over the vegetation to completely mulch it.
