CUTTING OPERATION
1. Raise the back of the unit off of the ground approximately 4" (102mm) to allow the mate-
rial to clear from under the cutting deck as you travel forward.
2. Place the front skid shoes 2-6” (51-152mm) off the ground. This is the preferred position
for cutting grass and heavy vegetation.
• Never drive your skid steer with the front of the rotary cutter tilted to the point
your view is obstructed. Always make sure you can see what you are cutting.
• Check the work area. Never operate the rotary cutter in populated areas where
thrown objects could injure persons or damage property.
• Never raise the unit and expose yourself or anyone else to the rotating blades.
If you can see the blades then the back of the unit is raised too high. Maximum
ground clearance at any time is 12” (305mm).
3. Activate the auxiliary hydraulics with the engine at idle. Increase engine speed.
4. Be sure the rotary cutter is operating smoothly and at full speed, and then start forward
travel while monitoring pressure gauge.
NOTE: The rotary cutter has a pressure gauge located on the back of the motor cover.
Monitor hydraulic pressure to prevent forcing your prime mover or attachment from re-
peatedly going over relief and therefore causing overheating of the hydraulic system.
CUTTING LARGE BRUSH AND SMALL TREES UP TO 7" (178mm) IN DIAMETER:
WARNING! Trees can fall in any direction. It is the operator’s responsibility to be cer-
tain the area is safe and clear of people, animals and personal property.
When cutting large brush and small trees:
1. Roll the front of the rotary cutter up 1-2 feet (305-610mm). DO NOT LIFT THE BACK
OF THE CUTTER!
2. Slowly drive into the tree. The front shield will raise up allowing the push bar on the
rotary cutter to push against the tree. Due to the angle of the rotary cutter this will allow
the blades to notch into the tree which will allow the push bar to bend the tree over and
finish the cut.
3. If the push bar is unable to bend the tree, back up the skid steer loader and increase the
angle of the rotary cutter slightly.
4. Repeat Step #2 and #3 until the notch is sufficient (for the size of brush or tree you are
cutting) to permit the push over bar to bend the tree.
5. When the cut is complete the remaining tree stump can be cut shorter using the rotary
cutter blades or it can be easily ground down with the optional tooth kit.
6. The tree can now be mulched by rotating the front up slightly and driving forward sev-
eral feet. Repeat, if necessary. Remember do not lift the back of the cutter.
