The first step is to assess the brush you’re dealing with. Different brush calls for different brush clearing strategies and proper equipment. For example, if you’re dealing with small, young trees, tree limbs, or vines, you’ll want a brush cutter with a blade attachment. You’ll need a brush cutter with a mulcher or saw attachment if the brush is more mature. You should also consider the blade width and blade length required to handle material.
Once you know the project’s scope, you can choose an attachment for your skid steer or excavator that will result in optimal elimination.
Now that you know the types of brush you’ll be dealing with, it’s time to choose a brush cutter. When making your decision, consider the following:
If you have a small brush clearing project, you may not need a brush cutter with all the bells and whistles. If you’re only clearing brush once in a while, you probably don’t need an industrial-strength brush cutter.
But if you have a large brush clearing project or plan to use your brush cutter frequently, you’ll want a brush cutter that can stand up to the task. You’ll also want one that’s easy to operate and maintain.
Here are the best types of attachments for various jobs:
Brush cutters are versatile tools that can handle a variety of brush clearing projects. Brush cutters have a cutting blade that quickly clears terrain.
A disc mulcher is your best bet if you’re dealing with large brush, trees, and saplings. Disc mulchers have carbide-tipped teeth that quickly clear brush and other organic material. Rut’s Disc Mulcher Annhilator is a perfect example of a quick-attach mulcher that can quickly mulch brush and trees on any site—especially farmland, right of ways, or trails.
Drum mulchers are ideal for clearing small brush, vines, and undergrowth. They have a heavy-duty steel drum with rotating flails that quickly clear brush.
A stump grinder is perfect for removing tree stumps and roots. Stump grinders have a cutting wheel with carbide-tipped teeth that quickly remove stumps.
Mowers are excellent for clearing light brush and maintaining already cleared areas. Mowers attach to the front or back of your skid steer or excavator and have a cutting deck with spinning blades that mow down brush. Ensure that the attachment you choose can handle the job site. You may need a hydraulic cutter that can handle hard-to-reach areas and maneuver with ease.
Rut’s Skid Steer Brush Mower Cutter can cut up to 4 inches in diameter with a two-blade system. The Brush Mower is a good option for those looking for a powerful machine that can mow grass and clear small limbs and brush when needed.
A string trimmer is perfect for clearing light brush, weeds, and invasive species. String trimmers have a cutting head with a nylon or steel line that quickly trims small projects.
You’ll need a tree shear like excavator tree shear or brush cutter when dealing with large trees. A suitable brush cutter will quickly and efficiently cut brush and small trees up to 7 inches in diameter. You’ll most likely want an industrial-grade forestry attachment that can handle the workload.
Rut’s Skid Steer Forestry Brush Cutter Gladiator has a cutting capacity of 7 inches—it’s perfect for quickly cutting brush and small trees. The Gladiator has a powerful hydraulic motor that can handle the most challenging brush-clearing projects.
Once you have the right attachment for the job, it’s time to get started.

Now that you have the right brush cutter and know how to operate it, it’s time to get to work.
Start by assessing the brush you’re dealing with and determining the best strategy for clearing it. If you’re dealing with small brush, you may be able just to mow it down. If you’re dealing with larger brush, you’ll need to use a brush cutter.
