Applications for Brush Cutting
Median Strips | Access Roads | Parks | Undeveloped Land
With our skid steer brush cutter, you can prepare sites for construction, maintain access roads, or create firebreaks in wildfire-prone areas. This tough equipment can handle dense vegetation and shrubs. It works great in the city too, for maintaining parks, trails, medians, and utility right-of-ways.

Star Safety – Using Your Brush Cutter Safety
1. Inspect Equipment Before Use
Check the brush cutter and skid steer for damage, loose bolts, hydraulic leaks, or worn blades. Ensure the safety guards and shielding are intact and functional.
2. Wear Proper PPE
For safer operation, wear safety goggles, gloves, hearing protection, high visibility clothing, and safety work boots.
3. Know Your Surroundings
Survey the work area for hidden obstacles like rocks, stumps, fencing, or wire that could be thrown or damage the cutter. Keep everyone at least 300 ft away from the operating equipment.
4. Operate at Safe Speeds
Avoid rushing—move slowly and steadily, especially in unfamiliar terrain or near slopes and drop-offs. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended cutting speed or RPMs.
5. Shut Down Properly
Before leaving the operator’s seat, lower the attachment to the ground, shut off the engine, and release hydraulic pressure. Never attempt maintenance or cleaning while the cutter is running or raised off the ground.
