the cutter. This should allow a 
more efficient material flow 
under the cutter deck.

 

8.  Use the v-notch in the top of the 

cutter deck to capture small trees 
(up to 

3" 

(76mm) for cutting.

 

Using V-Cut in deck for small trees

 

Vertical Cutting

 

Your Articulating Brush Cutter has the 
capability to cut vertically to widen 
pathways, roadways, or along the edge of 
a crop field to allow access for tractors and 
combines.

 

Vertical cutting 

can disperse debris over a large area. 

To 

avoid an accident that could result in 

Death or Serious Injury, do not operate 
the cutter when bystanders are within 
300' (91m).

 

                                                            

To 

avoid Minor or 

Serious Injury, never swing the cutter 
boom past the side tipping capacity of 
your skid steer when the cutter is in the 
raised and vertical position. Know the 
capability of your machine and notice 
the terrain you are working on.

 

Raise the skid steer loader arm and tilt the 
cutter head to the vertical position. Swing 
the boom to the right to access the area to 
be cut. Raise and lower the skid steer's lift 
to trim back over- hanging branches.

Cutter 

blades 

 

can be very sharp and could cause 
Minor or Serious Injury if mishandled. 
Always wear protective gloves and 
footwear.

 

Plan your removal of the cutter blades 
around the vicinity of an overhead hoist. 
Position the cutter attachment with cutter 
deck in the vertical position so you can 
access the blade and holder bracket.

 

Blades 

Holder

 

Sling the holder from the hoist and 
remove the 6 

W' 

bolts from the center 

of the blade holder. Lower the holder to 
the floor or to a suitable work surface.

 

Use a cutting torch to remove the head of 
the blade mounting bolt, and drive the bolt 
shaft out of the blade holder end.
