CXC550 Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter

Taking the Rotary Brush Cutter to new heights is the 50” Industrial CXC550 model for mid-range excavators. Built to help you tackle the areas with limited access, the CXC550’s unique blade design attacks and cuts thick brush, reducing it to mulch. The reversible blades provide long performance before requiring sharpening or replacement. The tri-swing blades chop and mulch all the way to the ground, allowing operators to mulch whole trees. Giving bite to the blade is an industry-leading bent axis piston motor, making the best possible use of this Rotary Brush Cutter’s hydraulic flow and pressure.
We offer multiple motors to exact match your flow so be sure to checkout the motor options area of the page below to maximize your work as you clear land with your excavator.

Three Cuts per Pass

As the rotating rotor mass throws the slasher blades at small diameter trees, the blade slices small sections away as the Rotary Brush Cutter advances forward. The leading tip takes a small bite and is immediately followed by the second tip taking another bite at 75–100 slashes per second with devastating results. The Rotary Brush Cutter’s reversible/replaceable blades are made of long lasting 1/2" AR 400 steel.
