Blue Diamond Attachments Heavy Duty Open-Front Brush Cutter Features Oil-Filled Direct Drive System
Blue Diamond Attachments has launched its new heavy duty open front brush cutter, a 72-inch attachment designed to provide professional cutting performance without extreme-duty pricing. The heavy duty open front brush cutter features an oil-filled direct drive system engineered to prevent costly lower bearing seal failure, while delivering more power and withstanding greater impact than competitive brush cutters with gearboxes, the company said. The cutter has standard-flow hydraulics for compatibility with most skid-steer loaders up to 75 horsepower.
Built for contractors, landowners and municipalities, the cutter can cut grass cleanly and handle brush and trees up to four inches in diameter. Its open front design includes a heavy push bar that improves productivity by feeding standing trees and heavy brush faster than closed-front designs. The heavy duty open front brush cutter features three ½-inch double-sided, drop-down blades that extend the blade life, improve balance and provide a closer cut than two-blade systems. Its 1/4-inch steel deck with structural cross-bracing is designed to increase durability by adding strength and rigidity to the attachment.
The heavy duty open front brush cutter provides additional features that support its performance, productivity and reliability:
· Bi-directional cutting from the cab allows for blade rotation instantly without hose swaps to save time.
· The 130 CC Eaton geroler hydraulic motor with integrated pressure relief system includes a fully enclosed compartment that minimizes overheating and keeps out debris.
· The durable 3/4-inch blade carrier adds cutting power to the attachment’s three-blade system.
“The heavy duty open front brush cutter is a game changer for the market. Its exceptional features fill a gap among available cutters, while also providing customers with the power and durability of a direct drive cutter at a competitive price point,” said Drew Truan, CEO of Blue Diamond Attachments. “It’s the ideal cutting solution for professional results, long service life and reliable performance.”
The Blue Diamond heavy duty open front brush cutter comes with the Blue Diamond Satisfaction Guarantee and is backed by a one-year warranty. For more information about the cutter lineup and other Blue Diamond attachments, visit www.bluediamondattachments.com.
