BrushFox Skid Steer Brush Cutter

BrushFox Brush Cutters are hydraulic-powered attachments designed for skid steer vegetation management, brush clearing, and mowing applications. The XHD and HDO Series provide different hydraulic-flow and cutting-width configurations for maintaining areas with grass, weeds, brush, and other compatible vegetation. The choice between the series depends primarily on the skid steer's hydraulic system, required cutting width, and intended application.

The BrushFox range supplied includes the XHD Series with 72" and 78" cutting widths, and the HDO Series with cutting widths from 42" to 78". This gives customers options ranging from compact 42" configurations to wider 72" and 78" cutters. The appropriate width should be selected according to the skid steer, working conditions, available access, and the amount of area that needs to be covered per pass.

The XHD Series requires 26–40 GPM, while the HDO Series is designed for 8–26 GPM. These hydraulic-flow ranges are important when matching a BrushFox cutter with a skid steer. Customers should check the actual auxiliary hydraulic flow of their machine and compare it with the requirements of the specific cutter before purchasing.

The main listed differences are the hydraulic-flow range and available cutting widths. The XHD Series offers 72" and 78" cutting widths and operates within a 26–40 GPM hydraulic range. The HDO Series offers 42"–78" cutting widths and operates within an 8–26 GPM range. Therefore, the correct series depends on the skid steer's hydraulic capability as well as the desired cutter width.

First, determine your skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic flow and compare it with the applicable BrushFox range. Choose the HDO Series if the appropriate model falls within its 8–26 GPM range, or consider the XHD Series for compatible 26–40 GPM hydraulic systems. Then select the required cutting width: HDO models range from 42" to 78", while XHD models are available in 72" and 78". Also verify the mounting connection and individual model specifications before ordering.

Consider the hydraulic flow of the skid steer, cutting width, type of vegetation, size of the work area, and available maneuvering space. The HDO Series provides smaller and wider width options with an 8–26 GPM flow range, while the XHD Series focuses on 72" and 78" widths with 26–40 GPM requirements. Matching the cutter to the skid steer's hydraulic system and selecting an appropriate working width are essential steps when choosing the right BrushFox attachment for your application.
