Closed-front brush cutters

Closed-front cutters have a chain curtain across the front of the deck. The maker says they push vegetation down first and hold the cut material inside longer, for a cleaner finish.

Open-front brush cutters

Open-front cutters have no front chain curtain, so the blades reach brush first. The maker says they cut larger material faster and leave a rougher finish.

Excavator and backhoe brush cutters

Rotary cutters for mini, mid-size and full-size excavators and backhoes, built to work along fence lines, buildings and steep ditches.
