TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATING CONDITIONS:

 

Below are listed a few operating conditions that may cause repeated stalling of your 

brush cutter, and suggestions on how to correct them.

GRASS TOO LONG OR THICK

: If cutting heavy vegetation, you may need to slow travel 

speed or make smaller passes (less than full cut) to prevent overloading and stalling the unit. 

Although the brush cutter is not designed for mowing grass, by monitoring blade sharpness 

and travel speed this can be accomplished.

BRUSH TOO BIG IN DIAMETER:

 The brush cutter is NOT designed to cut trees larger than 7" 

(178mm) in diameter. If brush is smaller than 7" (178mm) in diameter and the cutter is stalling, 

check sharpness of the blades (see "Maintenance") and cut using the procedure described 

earlier in this section for "CUTTING LARGE BRUSH AND SMALL TREES".

BRUSH TOO THICK OR HEAVY: 

If cutting heavy or thick brush, you may need to slow travel 

speed or make smaller passes (less than full cut), to prevent overloading. If the blades seem to 

be unable to handle the volume of brush, slow down the travel speed until the unit reaches full 

speed before proceeding.

SCALPING THE GROUND or BOTTOMING OUT:

 Be aware of changes in the terrain. Stay 

alert for drop-off’s and holes. Check the terrain and the deck position before restarting and 

continuing cutting.

STRIKING FOREIGN OBJECTS: 

 Stay alert for rocks, fencing, abandoned wells, septic tanks 

or other foreign objects. If the brush cutter comes into contact with a foreign object, stop the 

unit, shut off the engine and disconnect the hydraulic couplers from the skid steer.  Inspect 

the unit and repair any damage before restarting and continuing cutting. (Never try to weld 

or straighten damaged blades.) Inspect the work area for any other items, and if they are too 

large to be removed from the area, they should be flagged clearly.

NOTE:   GS SERIES (30-45 GPM) CUTTERS ONLY: When blades are bent or damaged 

they will become wedged between the blade carrier plates. This will cause excessive 

vibration and the blades must be replaced before proceeding (see “Maintenance”).
