CID Attachments X-Treme Piston Motor Brush Cutter For Skid Steers

The CID Attachments X-Treme Piston Motor Brush Cutter For Skid Steers is a hydraulically driven rotary cutting attachment that allows skid steer operators to clear brush, overgrown vegetation, saplings, and heavy grass efficiently using the machine’s existing hydraulic circuit. CID Attachments produces brush cutters across multiple duty classifications to match different host machine hydraulic output levels and application intensity requirements. The X-Treme Piston Motor model represents the appropriate construction specification for the cutting volume, vegetation density, and machine capacity range associated with its classification, providing the right balance of durability and performance for its intended applications.

Hydraulic Cutting System

The brush cutter rotor is driven by a hydraulic motor connected to the skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Rotor speed and cutting torque are determined by the hydraulic flow and pressure supplied by the host machine. The X-Treme Piston Motor model’s motor is sized to perform optimally within the flow and pressure range of skid steer machines in the appropriate horsepower class. The rotor uses blade elements that cut and mulch vegetation on contact, processing material into fine particles that are discharged from the cutting zone and left as ground cover.

Applications

Skid steer brush cutters are productive in fence line clearing, right-of-way maintenance, overgrown property reclamation, pasture renovation, roadside vegetation management, and commercial landscape maintenance of large rough areas. The skid steer platform’s maneuverability allows the brush cutter to work in areas where a larger tractor-mounted cutter cannot effectively operate, including around obstacles, in irregular terrain, and in confined property areas. The mulching discharge eliminates the need for debris collection and disposal on most clearing projects, reducing total project labor and cost.

Hydraulic Flow Requirements

Verify that the host skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit delivers the flow and pressure specified for the X-Treme Piston Motor brush cutter before ordering. Operating the cutter at insufficient flow results in reduced rotor speed, lower cutting torque, and potential overheating of the hydraulic circuit. CID Attachments can provide hydraulic specifications on request to assist with compatibility verification for specific machine models.
