72″ Skid Steer Brush Cutter

Description

The 72″ Skid Steer Brush Cutter bridges the gap between light-duty mowers and expensive high-flow forestry mulchers. Most 72-inch cutters require high-flow hydraulics to maintain blade speed, but the RC72 is optimized for machines in the 12-16 GPM range. This allows owners of standard-flow Bobcat, Kubota, Caterpillar, and John Deere loaders to achieve professional-grade clearing results without upgrading their entire machine.

Heavy-Duty Construction & Durability

This isn’t your average “brush hog.” The deck is constructed from 3/16″ heavy-duty steel with reinforced side walls and full-length skid rails, ensuring the unit glides over uneven terrain without catching or bowing. The dual-blade system utilizes AR400 hardened steel blades mounted to a 3/8″ thick carrier, providing the rotational inertia needed to power through saplings and brush up to 4 inches in diameter.

Safety and Protection Built-In

Demolition and land clearing can be hard on your equipment. To protect your investment, the RC72 features an integrated pressure relief valve. This safety mechanism protects the hydraulic motor and the machine’s spindle from sudden pressure spikes if you hit a hidden stump or rock. Additionally, the front-opening deck design allows for ground-level cutting of larger vegetation while containing most debris for safer operation.

Efficiency and Versatility

The direct-drive hydraulic motor with a right-angle gearbox ensures maximum torque is delivered directly to the blades. Whether you are maintaining roadside ditches in the Midwest or clearing invasive species in the South, this cutter provides a smooth, even finish. The universal skid steer quick-attach mount makes it compatible with nearly all modern wheel and track loaders, allowing for 60-second “plug-and-play” connectivity.
