Brush Cutter - Extreme Duty (XD)

Product Overview

The Ground Shark® Extreme Duty High Flow Brush Cutters are designed for clearing medium to heavy density brush and hardwoods up to 10" in diameter from wooded acreages, road right-of-ways, and pipeline maintenance. When the exclusive, patented retractable forward shield comes in contact with a tree, it moves up and back to expose the entire cutting edge of each blade while protecting the operator from flying debris.

Product Overview

Features and Benefits

Deck steps on both sides to facilitate different carriers with entry on left or right side.

The hydraulic hoses can be easily rerouted to allow hookup to multiple machine brands.

Exclusive patented retractable cutting forward shield. When using the Ground Shark on brush/trees that are bigger than 4" in diameter, the shield will retract on its own to allow for maximum performance.

Serrated Edges on Push Bar and Chassis front corners enable better control when moving material.

The motor and valve assembly are fully shielded preventing contact with debris.

Bolt-on replaceable skid shoes.

High torque radial piston direct drive hydraulic motor for more efficient power, improved startup and recovery.

The Ground Shark line of brush cutters include special hydraulic valving to shut the cutter head down quickly and safely. There is a distinct audible sound during the shutdown which will indicate to the operator that the blades are coming to a stop.

Four 3/4" thick double bevel reversible edge blades machined from AR400 high strength steel for maximum cutting power and durability.

Multi-fastener blade retention puck mount. 3 bolts hold puck in place for blade to swivel under extreme conditions.

Pivoting blades are installed with an alternating blade cut angle. This enables cutting action like a swinging axe which clears the previous cut.

Bolt-on carbide stump grinding teeth increases mulching performance and take the stump down to ground level.
