Product Description
Express Steel Severe Duty Brush Cutter | SKU ES45070 | Width 74.5" | Hydraulic Flow 27+ GPM | For Skid Steers
DESCRIPTION
The Express Steel ES45070 Severe Duty Brush Cutter is a top-tier land clearing attachment built for the most demanding environments. Designed to cut through brush, debris, fence rows, and even trees up to 12" in diameter, this cutter features a direct-drive piston motor, 4 drop-down style blades, and a 1" serrated flywheel for maximum torque and rapid recovery.
Its bi-directional operation allows for cutting in both directions when paired with standard flow machines, while the adjustable bolt-on shoes provide versatility across uneven terrain. The cutter is built with a ¼" steel deck plate reinforced with ½" steel, and includes ¾" hydraulic hoses and ½" ISO flat-faced couplers for secure and efficient hookup. Safety is paramount—machines must be equipped with a ½" polycarbonate shield (not glass or open cab). Available motor sizes (150cc, 200cc, 250cc) ensure compatibility with your machine’s GPM rating.
