DESCRIPTION

Unlock the full vegetation management potential of your mini excavator with the FA FAXBC Series Excavator Brush Cutter a purpose-built attachment designed specifically for reaching challenging terrain and hard-to-access areas that ground-based equipment simply cannot handle. Engineered for mini excavator operators including contractors, landowners, municipalities, agricultural operations, and property maintenance professionals, this versatile brush cutter transforms your excavator into a powerful vegetation control machine capable of clearing steep slopes, embankments, waterways, under bridges, and countless other difficult locations with precision and safety.

The FAXBC Series delivers exceptional versatility through three professional configurations 36-inch, 42-inch, and 48-inch cutting widths each optimized for different excavator sizes and operational requirements. Whether you're maintaining right-of-way corridors, clearing hunting property sight lines, managing farm drainage ditches, controlling vegetation along pond banks, or tackling residential land clearing projects, these excavator-mounted brush cutters provide the reach, maneuverability, and cutting power that traditional ground equipment cannot deliver.

What makes excavator-mounted brush cutting remarkably effective is the ability to position the cutting deck precisely where it's needed extending outward over water to clear stream banks, reaching downward into steep ditches, working upward on dangerous embankments, or accessing areas under structures all while the operator remains safely positioned in the excavator cab. This combination of reach and safety eliminates the hazards associated with manual clearing on unstable terrain and dramatically reduces project completion time compared to handheld equipment or walk-behind mowers.

Each FAXBC model features a dual-action cutting system combining three AR400 hardened steel blades with nine carbide-tipped mulching teeth that power through brush, saplings, and woody vegetation up to 6 inches in diameter. This advanced cutting configuration delivers clean cuts through tough material while simultaneously mulching debris into fine particles that naturally decompose, eliminating the need for post-clearing debris removal and leaving a professionally finished result.

The FAXBC 3600 (36-inch, 765 lbs) is perfectly matched to compact mini excavators in the 1.5 to 3.5-ton class, operating efficiently at 12-16 or 16-22 GPM flow rates—ideal for residential property maintenance, small farm operations, and precision clearing in tight spaces. The FAXBC 4200 (42-inch, 900 lbs) suits 3 to 5-ton mini excavators with 16-22 or 22-27 GPM flow capacity, providing excellent versatility for general contracting and municipal maintenance work. The FAXBC 4800 (48-inch, 1,120 lbs) is engineered for 5 to 8-ton excavators operating at 22-27 or 28-35 GPM, delivering maximum productivity for commercial land clearing and large-scale vegetation management projects.

Built with professional-grade quality throughout, each brush cutter features a robust 1/4-inch steel deck that withstands impact from rocks, stumps, and debris encountered in demanding clearing applications. The carbide-tipped mulching teeth maintain their cutting edge through abrasive conditions that would quickly dull standard steel teeth, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime over the attachment's service life.

FA makes installation and operation straightforward by including everything you need: hydraulic hoses, quick-connect hydraulic couplers, and an excavator-specific mounting plate are all included with your brush cutter, ensuring you're ready to start clearing immediately upon delivery. The universal mounting design accommodates most mini excavator brands including Kubota, Bobcat, Cat, John Deere, Takeuchi, Yanmar, and others.

This excavator brush cutter excels in applications where access, safety, or terrain make conventional clearing equipment impractical: roadside and highway maintenance crews clear vegetation on steep embankments without putting workers at risk, utility contractors maintain vegetation along buried infrastructure and right-of-ways, landowners manage pond banks and waterway vegetation from safe positions, municipalities clear parks and public spaces with challenging topography, and agricultural operations maintain drainage systems and fence lines efficiently.

For professionals and property owners who need to clear vegetation in places ground equipment cannot safely reach whether maintaining miles of right-of-way, managing waterfront properties, clearing steep slopes, working under structures, or accessing remote terrain the FA FAXBC Series Excavator Brush Cutter delivers the precision, reach, and professional results that elevate your vegetation management capabilities to an entirely new level.
