The Westendorf Brush Crusher is a unique product, take time to understand how it operates. The mechanical
advantage allows you to use the bucket cylinders to operate the teeth, saving you the expense of added hydraulics.
The Brush Crusher is a very powerful tool, please review the following tips when operating this unit.
The Mechanical Advantage
Approaching the Load
Approaching the load will vary based on the loader and Brush Crusher model you have. Pay particular attention
to the teeth when they are in the open position. Whichever set of teeth are closer to the ground determines how to
approach the load. Position the claw around the object by lowering your loader arms and driving into or toward from
the object (Figure 1). Draw the object into the claws by closing the teeth and lowering the arms.
At times you may want to put the loader
into FLOAT when closing the teeth. This
allows the Brush Crusher to adjust or
capture the load.
FLOAT

To prevent tractor or equipment damage:
• Know the limitations of your equipment.
• DO NOT exceed the capacity that your loader or
Brush Crusher™ can handle safely.
• Center the weight of the load in the attachment.
• Avoid twisting loads.
• See your tractor operator’s manual for ballast and tire
setting recommendations.
