Description

The Blue Diamond Extreme Duty Open Front Brush Cutter for Skid Steers is built for aggressive land clearing, heavy brush cutting, and demanding vegetation management. Designed for skid steers and compact track loaders, the open front design allows thicker brush and saplings to feed directly into the cutting area, improving productivity in tough conditions.

Available in 60-inch and 72-inch cutting widths, this brush cutter is offered in both standard-flow and high-flow configurations to match a wide range of machines. Standard-flow models are ideal for grass, weeds, and moderate brush, while high-flow models deliver increased power for cutting dense vegetation and larger material.

This attachment features a heavy-duty 3/4-inch thick blade carrier and double-sided blades for extended life and consistent cutting performance. The 60-inch models use three blades, while the 72-inch models use four blades for wider coverage and improved efficiency. Standard-flow units are equipped with a 4000 Series geroler motor, while high-flow models use a more powerful 6000 Series geroler motor.

Cutting capacity reaches up to 6 inches in diameter on 60-inch and 72-inch standard-flow models, and up to 8 inches on 72-inch high-flow models. Dual-direction cutting capability allows operators to reverse blade rotation when needed, helping extend blade life and maintain cutting performance.

This open front brush cutter is commonly used by contractors, land clearing crews, farmers, ranchers, municipalities, and property owners for clearing overgrown fields, maintaining fence lines, cutting trails, and preparing sites for development.

Fitment Notes

This brush cutter is designed for skid steers and compact track loaders. Proper model selection depends on your machine’s hydraulic flow, operating capacity, and intended application.

Flow requirements by model:

  • 60-inch Standard Flow: 14–22 GPM
  • 60-inch High Flow: 23–40 GPM
  • 72-inch Standard Flow: 16–26 GPM

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

Explore our wide selection of high-quality skid steer attachments designed for performance and durability. We partner with trusted manufacturers to provide reliable attachments for a variety of applications. Our knowledgeable team is here to help you find the right equipment for your machine and job requirements.

Most modern full-size skid steer attachments are built with a universal quick attach system, allowing them to connect with nearly any brand of skid steer loader on the market. This standard design makes it easy to switch between attachments from different manufacturers.

If your machine does not have a universal quick attach system, or if you are purchasing attachments for a tractor or another type of equipment, we can help. We offer quick attach adapters that allow your machine to safely connect to a wide range of attachments.

Most modern skid steer loaders are equipped with auxiliary hydraulics that power attachments requiring hydraulic flow. These hydraulic lines typically connect to the machine through couplers located near the loader arms.

The type and number of hydraulic couplers can vary depending on the machine. Attachments that require low hydraulic flow, such as standard brush cutters, typically use two half-inch couplers. Machines with high-flow capability may include additional couplers and a case drain line for more demanding attachments.

When purchasing a hydraulic attachment, it is important to ensure that the attachment’s hydraulic requirements match your skid steer’s operating range. For example, grapples and backhoe attachments usually require low flow, while larger brush cutters and forestry attachments often require high-flow hydraulics.

Some skid steer attachments use electrically actuated controls combined with hydraulic components. For example, certain grading blades use electrical switches in the cab to activate hydraulic valves that control features such as folding wings.

If an attachment requires electrical controls, it is easiest when your skid steer is equipped with an external electrical harness. Since electrical harness systems can vary by manufacturer, we recommend contacting our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.

If your skid steer does not have an external electrical harness, we can often provide a controller that connects to your machine’s 12-volt power source or battery. This allows you to operate attachments that require electrical controls safely and efficiently.

Safety should always be a top priority when operating skid steer loader attachments. At Heavy Equip Tech, we often hear from customers who accidentally damage the glass door on their skid loader when using attachments such as forestry mulchers, brush cutters, or post drivers. This usually happens when the potential impact of debris on the machine’s cab is not fully considered before purchasing the attachment.

When shopping for skid steer attachments, it is important to research the equipment thoroughly or consult with a customer support specialist to ensure proper compatibility and safe operation. Certain attachments that can throw rocks, wood debris, or other materials require additional safety precautions.
