EXTREME DUTY OPEN FRONT BRUSH CUTTER

One Brush Cutter SERIES. Built for Every Skid Steer.

The Blue Diamond® Extreme Duty Open Front Brush Cutter is engineered for contractors who demand maximum cutting performance without compromise. Designed to cut everything from heavy grass and dense brush to trees up to 6–8 inches in diameter, this industry-leading cutter combines aggressive land-clearing capability with an exceptionally clean finish in lighter vegetation. Unlike cutters designed for only one purpose, the Blue Diamond Extreme Duty Series delivers outstanding brush-cutting power while maintaining superior mowing performance.

Available in 60-inch and 72-inch models, the Extreme Duty Open Front Brush Cutter is designed to match a wide range of skid steers and compact track loaders. Four high-torque motor options provide hydraulic compatibility from 14 to 45 GPM, allowing operators to choose the ideal combination of cutting width, torque, and hydraulic flow for their machine. Whether you're running a standard-flow skid steer or a high-flow compact track loader, there's an Extreme Duty Brush Cutter built specifically for your application.

The 60-inch model features three double-sided blades mounted to a rugged ¾-inch thick blade carrier, delivering outstanding maneuverability and cutting performance. The 72-inch model utilizes four double-sided blades on a larger ¾-inch thick blade carrier, increasing blade overlap, productivity, and cutting efficiency across wider applications.

Every Blue Diamond Extreme Duty Brush Cutter is built around our legendary 3½-inch forged one-piece spindle—one of the strongest spindle systems in the industry. Combined with a grease-filled direct-drive system, external cross-port relief valves, fully enclosed motor compartment, and bi-directional cutting capability, these cutters are engineered to deliver years of dependable performance in the harshest land-clearing environments.
