Is This Right For You?
Buy if
- You maintain pastures, hayfields, road shoulders, or utility corridors with grass and light brush
- You need a high-productivity mowing attachment that's simple to maintain and easy to source parts for
- Your operation requires regular acreage mowing on medium to large skid steers
Skip if
- You're cutting woody brush over 2 inches in diameter regularly — a brush cutter or mulcher is a better fit
- Discharge direction is a concern near structures or people — a flail mower has contained discharge
Also consider
- Brush cutter if you regularly encounter heavy overgrowth and saplings
- Flail mower for safer, finer-cut results near roads or structures
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect blade tips or flail hammers for wear after each use — dull cutting edges increase engine load and reduce cut quality significantly
- Check all blade bolts for proper torque before every use — loose blades on a high-RPM rotary cutter are a serious safety hazard
- Grease deck spindle bearings after every 8 hours of operation — spindle bearing failure is the most common and expensive rotary cutter repair
- Check the belt drive or hydraulic motor for overheating signs (excessive heat, smell) after extended cutting sessions in dense material
- Remove wrapped material (wire, twine, root) from around the rotor shaft after every use — wrapped material cuts through shaft seals and causes bearing contamination
How to Connect
- Attach rotary cutter frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic couplers for motor
- Test blade rotation direction before cutting
- Keep 50m+ clear of bystanders — blade tip speed is extremely high
