Professional Skid Steer Brush Cutters for High-Performance Land Clearing | Vovlift

How to Choose a Skid Steer Brush Cutter

What is a skid steer brush cutter?

A skid steer brush cutter is a hydraulically driven mowing attachment that mounts to your loader's quick-attach plate. It slices through tall grass, brush, and light saplings that a standard mower can't handle, letting one machine clear rough land, fence lines, and trails in a single pass.

Open-front or closed-front deck — which do you need?

Match the deck to your material. An open-front cutter, like the Loflin Fabrication open-front model, feeds thicker brush and saplings directly into the blade path for faster clearing. A closed-front deck contains debris and discharge, making it a safer choice near roads, buildings, and other work crews.

How do you match a cutter to your skid steer?

Start with your loader's hydraulic flow and mounting plate. Higher-flow machines drive larger cutters through heavier material without bogging down. Review each listing's spec table for cutting width and requirements, or call +1 (307) 441-5529 and we'll confirm the fit before you order.

Which brand fits your workload?

Vovlift carries Loflin Fabrication and Star Industries brush cutters. Loflin offers open- and closed-front options across a working price range starting at $6,394, while the Star Industries cutter sits at the heavier-duty end at $9,509 — compare the spec sheets to weigh cutting capacity against budget.
