X-treme Brush Cutter

January 2021

3.5   Cutting Operations Cont.

1. 

Tilt the front of the deck approximately 1 to 2 feet above ground 

level. DO NOT raise the rear of the deck. 

2.  Drive slowly into the vegetation and use the skid steer tilt function 

to push the vegetation forward. Allow the cutter blade to cut the 
vegetation. 

3.  Lower the front of the deck as you continue to mulch the vegetation. 
4.  Back drag the cutter to further minimize the size of the debris.

Cutting Above Ground Level Vegetation

If the cutter speed slows down, reduce your travel speed and allow the 
cutter to reach the proper rotating speed. Mowing TOO fast in thick 
vegetation could result in “balling” of the material underneath the 

cutter deck resulting in a loss of cutting efficiency. 

DO NOT operate the brush cutter if you (the operator) can see the cutter 
blade. If the operator can see the cutter blade, the back of the cutter 

is raised TOO HIGH. Lower the cutter deck to avoid being hit by flying 

debris.

NEVER use your brush cutter to push, pull, lift or move any type of object  
or vehicle. DO NOT use this brush cutter to “push” down trees without 
using the cutter blades. 

When cutting trees beware of the direction of fall to avoid the tree from 
crashing on to your skid steer loader.
