Cat intros 72-in. Brushcutter attachment for skid steers and CTLs | Industry Leading Nationwide Construction Contractor
Cat says the new Industrial Brushcutter is designed for “removing or controlling large amounts of brush, small trees and dense vegetation” in applications such as land clearing, right-of-way maintenance and site prep.
Compatible with skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders and Cat Multi Terrain loaders, the attachment processes material up to 8 inches in diameter with four reversible blades for high production with all types of auxiliary configurations, whether standard-flow, XPS high-flow, or XHP high-flow.
Cat says “the hydraulic motor and gearbox are designed for sustained operation in high ambient temperatures, and an anti-cavitation valve, in conjunction with an accumulator, protects the motor by ensuring consistent fluid flow, even during shutdown.”
The attachment also features the following:
- Heavy-duty, 900-pound blade carrier that provides high inertia for swinging the blades through dense brush
- Integrated debris deflector and heavy-duty skids
- Heavy-duty bearing case for securing the blade carrier to the drive system
- Well-protected Cat XT-3 ES auxiliary-hydraulic hoses with a case-drain line for motor protection
