<\/a><\/p>\nAvailable in five models, the rotary cutters have a standard 3-inch cutting height. An optional dealer-installed kit can be added to increase the cutting height to 4 inches. With varying auxiliary hydraulic flow capabilities, the new rotary cutters are compatible with Bobcat carriers with hydraulic flows ranging from 15 to 40 gpm, depending on the specific model. Rotary cutter models include standard flow or high-flow capability options in 66- and 72-inch widths, and an 80-inch model with high-flow capability. The high-flow models provide increased torque for even better cutting performance in thick brush.<\/p>\n
Dual motor design<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to reduce weight and shorten the rotary cutter\u2019s deck size, the new Brushcat rotary cutters are equipped with two direct-drive, offset motors featuring a dual-blade design. The direct-drive motor design means there are fewer moving parts and no gearbox. The rotary cutter\u2019s dual motors efficiently transfer power to the blades to quickly cut through brush.<\/p>\n Four blades are positioned with a 1.5-inch overlap and provide superior cutting performance. To help operators work efficiently, if one blade comes in contact with excessively heavy brush, additional pressure is applied to that area to help the motor and blades recover faster. The rotary cutter\u2019s double-edge blades can achieve bidirectional cutter rotation by switching the cutter heads; this will also increase the overall blade life.<\/p>\n Compatible carriers<\/strong><\/p>\n Brushcat rotary cutters are approved for use with select Bobcat skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, all-wheel steer loaders, Toolcat\u2122 utility work machines and the V417 VersaHandler\u00ae telescopic tool carrier. Operators can quickly and easily connect Bobcat rotary cutters to the carrier with the Bob-Tach\u00ae attachment mounting system. This enables the operator to spend less time on attachment changes and more time clearing brush.<\/p>\n Safety features<\/strong><\/p>\n Front safety chains on the rotary cutter help contain debris within the deck and prevent it from being thrown outside the cutting area. The tapered roller on the rear of the rotary cutter prevents debris from flying out of the back of the cutting deck; this increases deck maneuverability and turning while helping to eliminate gouging the ground surface. As a safeguard, a velocity fuse was integrated into the hydraulic system valve on the standard-flow models. This fuse protects the drive motor from damage by shutting off the hydraulic flow to the rotary cutter if the hydraulic capacity of the motor is exceeded. For additional safety, a patented blade shutoff feature stops blade rotation when the rear roller of the rotary cutter is raised off the ground.<\/p>\n QuickLook: Brushcat rotary cutters<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Five new models: 66-, 72- and 80-inch widths; available in standard and high-flow models<\/p>\n \u2022 Standard 3-inch cutting height; optional kit available to increase cut height to 4 inches<\/p>\n \u2022 Available for Bobcat carriers with auxiliary hydraulic flows between 15 and 40 gpm<\/p>\n \u2022 Deck oscillation with front discs improves operation over rough terrain<\/p>\n \u2022 Offset dual motor\/dual blade design provides a shorter deck and reduced weight<\/p>\n \u2022 Smooth under-deck keeps grass clippings and debris from being caught<\/p>\n \u2022 Double-edge blades provide bidirectional cutter rotation and increase overall blade life<\/p>\n \u2022 On standard-flow models, velocity fuse safeguards hydraulic system<\/p>\n \u2022 Patented blade shut-off stops blade rotation when the rear roller is raised off the ground<\/p>\n
