Skid Steer Forestry Brush Cutter Gladiator

From $9,987

The Gladiator Forestry Brush Cutter is a skid steer attachment for brush cutters designed to manage unruly land, on-site prep, and disaster cleanup. The Gladiator is an industrial-grade forestry brush cutter made to cut, mulch, and destroy just about any brush or trees it comes into contact with. This forestry brush cutter has a 1″ thick blade carrier with carbide-tipped mulching teeth—the perfect tool for clearing brush. The mulching teeth aid forestry vegetation breakup and grinding stumps down and are durable enough to handle dense debris and overgrowth. 

The Gladiator also uses vine cutters above the blade carrier to protect the driveshaft from overhanging vines and any wires it may encounter. This skid steer brush cutter’s design, hydraulic motor, durable nature, and high efficiency simplify the way you’ll approach your daily workload.

FAQs

Common Questions about the Skid Steer Forestry Brush Cutter Gladiator

Yes! The Gladiator forestry brush cutter can cut stumps to ground level.
Since the root system will still be in place after grinding down stumps, some vegetation will find a way to grow back.
A disc mulcher is the right choice if you need a skid steer attachment that can handle the most challenging projects. While drum mulchers are great for tackling small brush and trees, a disc mulcher like the Gladiator will help eliminate vast growth on a larger scale.
The best skid steer brush cutter depends on the type of work you need to complete. The Gladiator is one of the most perfect attachment for skid steer if you're looking for a powerful forestry brush cutter to manage unruly land, on-site prep, and disaster cleanup.
With the robust blades of the Gladiator forestry brush cutter, you can cut trees up to 7 inches in diameter. The Gladiator is an industrial-grade skid steer attachment made to cut, mulch, and destroy trees and brush with precision.
Mulchers rotate at high speed to cut and feed growth into the cutter blades. The result is a fine mulch that looks great and provides nutrients for your property's soil. You can easily spread the mulch with a skid steer, making it a quick and easy way to get the job done.
Using a forestry skid steer attachment for mulching has many environmental benefits. It helps reduce soil erosion, moistens the ground, and provides plant nutrients. Additionally, it can help to create a habitat for wildlife and improve the aesthetic value of an area. Forestry mulching with a skid steer brush cutter is a great way to improve the health of your local ecosystem.
One of the most effective ways to help prevent wildfires is to clear underbrush around your property with a Gladiator forestry brush cutter. Dead leaves, pine needles, and other combustible materials can easily catch fire and spread quickly. Keeping your land clean and debris-free will reduce the risk of fires.
There is no definitive answer to this question since there are so many different skid steer models on the market. However, most attachments will fit multiple brands with minimal adjustments. You can always consult the manufacturer or dealer if you're unsure whether a particular attachment will fit your skid steer. Rut Manufacturing makes it easy for our skid steer attachments to fit your skid steer with our quick attach design.
The Gladiator forestry brush cutter offers both low flow (15-25 GPM) and high flow (25-45 GPM). Low flow is recommended for cutting light brush and high flow for cutting heavy brush.

I had ordered a BRUSH CUTTER FOR SKID STEER, CTL, AND MTL 60″ RUT MFG TERMINATOR 15-27 GPM at the end of last year and finally was able to use it for the first time here on our farm. I have 60 acres with about 50 of those being heavily wooded with multiflora rose, up to 5″ or 5″ grapevines, and thick growth of who knows what. Today is my fourth day of using this Brush Cutter for RUT MFG and I couldn’t be happier with this piece of machinery. When I ordered, I had Tony install stump grinding teeth (I think there are 22 of them) and that really helps when I cut a tree and then use the teeth to grind down near ground level. I highly recommend using RUT MFG. Feel free to reach out to me if you care to check up on my thoughts in a month or two.

I bought the Rut manufacturing brush eliminator for my Kubota kx040 excavator. Wow, this is the way to clear blackberries and brush up to 4-inch diameter in a hurry. Way to go Rut manufacturing I will definitely recommend their products and services.

• Tom Vanderzanden

I have been using Rut products since 2017 and I am more than happy with the quality of service and the products. Every time I call Ira he immediately hooks me up with what I need. I 100% stand behind my testimony of these guys!

• Houston Barnes

I bought the skid steer terminator brush hog love it. The craftsmanship is top-notch and the brush hog works excellent. Would recommend Rut Mfg to anyone, great quality and great people.

• Jacinda Wassam

Excavator mounted log splitter is spot on. Split and load wood and never leave the seat of your machine. Wish I had this many years ago. Rut fitted the unit to my machine easily, I installed the unit and went to work!!
