Skid Steer Brush Mowers

Manage overgrown grass, weeds, brush, and other vegetation with a brush mower attachment for your skid steer loader. Spartan Equipment’s skid steer brush mower collection includes attachments designed for vegetation management, property maintenance, land clearing, agricultural work, and other applications where a skid steer can provide the hydraulic power and maneuverability needed to maintain large areas.

A brush mower can help maintain fields, pastures, trails, roadsides, vacant lots, and overgrown properties without relying on handheld equipment or traditional tractor-mounted mowing equipment. Depending on the model, these attachments can be configured for different skid steer sizes, hydraulic flow rates, cutting widths, and vegetation conditions.

When selecting a brush mower, consider the type and density of vegetation you need to cut, the size and hydraulic capacity of your skid steer, and the dimensions of the areas you will be maintaining.

Brush Mower Features to Consider

Specifications and features vary between models, but common considerations include:

• Heavy-duty construction: Brush mower attachments are built for demanding vegetation-management applications, with frame construction and material specifications varying by model.
• Multiple cutting widths: Different working widths allow you to select an attachment appropriate for your skid steer and the size of the area being maintained.
• Hydraulic operation: The skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulic system powers the mower. Required hydraulic flow and pressure vary by model.
• Standard- and high-flow configurations: Certain brush mowers are designed for specific hydraulic flow ranges, making it important to match the attachment to your machine.
• Durable cutting components: Cutting systems are designed to process grass, weeds, brush, and other vegetation. Blade and cutting-system configurations vary between attachments.
• Skid steer quick-attach compatibility: Attachments are designed for connection to skid steer loaders using a quick-attach interface, subject to the specifications of the individual model.
• Heavy-duty frames: Structural components are designed to withstand the demands of regular vegetation-management work.
• Different machine-size requirements: Brush mowers are available for different skid steer classes, allowing operators to select an attachment appropriate for their machine's capabilities.

Brush Mower Applications

A skid steer brush mower can be useful for maintaining areas where vegetation grows quickly or has become difficult to manage with conventional mowing equipment. Common applications include:

• Cutting tall grass and weeds
• Maintaining pastures and fields
• Clearing overgrown lots
• Maintaining trails and recreational areas
• Roadside and right-of-way maintenance
• Clearing vegetation around fence lines
• Managing vegetation on agricultural properties
• Maintaining vacant or undeveloped land
• Preparing properties for construction or development
• General land and property maintenance

The appropriate brush mower depends on the vegetation, terrain, cutting conditions, and capabilities of the skid steer being used.

Match the Mower to Your Skid Steer

Before purchasing a brush mower, compare the attachment specifications with your skid steer. Key measurements and specifications to consider include:

• Cutting width: Determines the width of vegetation that can be addressed during each pass.
• Overall attachment width: Important for transportation, storage, and working in areas with limited access.
• Attachment weight: The mower should be compatible with your skid steer’s rated operating capacity and lifting capabilities.
• Required hydraulic flow: Verify that your skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulic system provides the flow required by the attachment.
• Hydraulic pressure: Confirm that the machine meets the attachment's specified operating pressure requirements.
• Cutting capacity: Review the manufacturer's stated cutting or vegetation capacity for the specific model and application.
• Recommended machine size: Make sure the mower is intended for your skid steer’s size and operating specifications.
• Quick-attach configuration: Confirm compatibility with the attachment interface on your skid steer.

Because specifications differ between models, review the individual product specifications before selecting a brush mower.

Choose a Skid Steer Brush Mower

The right brush mower can make routine vegetation maintenance more efficient while allowing your skid steer to handle a wider range of property-management tasks. Whether you are maintaining a pasture, clearing an overgrown lot, keeping trails open, or managing roadside vegetation, selecting an attachment that matches your machine and application is essential.

Spartan Equipment offers a selection of skid steer brush mower attachments in different sizes and configurations. Compare cutting width, attachment weight, hydraulic requirements, machine compatibility, and other specifications to find a model suited to your equipment and intended application.
