Tackle the Thickest Timber with the Loflin Open Front Brush Cutter For Skid Steer

Overgrown land can quickly become a liability when standard equipment simply cannot handle the density of thick timber and tangled brush. Most operators start their search for a professional-grade attachment because they are tired of tools that stall out, overheat their hydraulics, or break shear pins the moment they hit a 4-inch sapling. This lack of productivity turns a single-day clearing job into a week-long mechanical headache, leaving you with a half-finished property and expensive repair bills.
The Loflin Exposed Blade Brush Cutter solves this problem by using an industrial-grade flywheel effect and a massive 4-to-6-inch cutting capacity. Instead of struggling with underpowered gear-driven systems, this attachment utilizes high-mass momentum to mulch through thick timber in a single pass. It effectively turns your skid steer into a land-clearing powerhouse, ensuring that you never have to stop or switch tools when the vegetation gets heavy.
To prevent the hydraulic failure that many operators fear, the Loflin Exposed Blade Brush Cutter offers five distinct motor displacements from 100cc to 250cc. This allows you to perfectly match the cutter to your machine's specific Gallons Per Minute (GPM) output. By calibrating the motor to your loader, you maintain maximum blade tip speed for clean cuts while protecting your skid steer from the backpressure and overheating caused by mismatched equipment.
Reliability is further reinforced through a proprietary direct-drive system that eliminates gearboxes and fragile shear pins. By transferring torque directly from the motor to a forged steel axle, this design removes the most common mechanical failure points found in other attachments. This simplified, rugged drive assembly is built to thrive in high-vibration forestry environments, providing a "buy-it-once" solution for professional land management.
Customization is a major focus of this series, offering both 60-inch and 72-inch widths to fit your machine's footprint. You can further tailor your performance by selecting between 2-blade, 3-blade, or 4-blade configurations. The 2-blade setup is best for raw impact on larger trees, while the 4-blade carrier is designed for high-speed mulching and a finer, more professional finish on dense brush and grass.
To minimize maintenance downtime, the blades feature a bi-directional design made from heat-treated, forged steel. When one side of the edge starts to dull, you can simply reverse the motor rotation from the cab to engage a fresh cutting surface. This feature effectively doubles your productivity between sharpening's and ensures you can finish the job without unnecessary on-site maintenance.
Why Choose The Loflin Exposed Blade Brush Cutter?
Precision Motor Matching
With five motor sizes (100cc, 125cc, 160cc, 200cc, and 250cc), you can calibrate the cutter to your machine's 12–43 GPM flow. This prevents the hydraulic stalling and overheating common with standard "one-size-fits-all" attachments.
Custom Blade Carriers
Select a 2, 3, or 4-blade setup based on your specific goal. Use the 2-blade for maximum impact on 6" timber, or the 4-blade carrier for high-momentum mulching that leaves a polished, park-like finish.
Industrial Direct-Drive System
Loflin eliminates the headache of gearboxes and shear pins. The direct-drive motor is more efficient, transfers more torque directly to the blades, and requires significantly less maintenance over its lifespan.
Bi-Directional Forged Steel Blades
Switch your cutting edge on the fly by reversing the hydraulic flow. This design doubles your uptime and ensures a clean cut every time you enter the brush, reducing the frequency of blade replacements.
Reinforced Grade 50 Construction
Both the 60" and 72" decks are built from high-tensile American steel and hand-welded for structural rigidity. The frame is designed to withstand the high-impact strikes and vibrations of commercial forestry.
One-Piece Iron Cast Housing
The entire drive assembly is contained within a single-piece iron casting, providing superior structural protection for the motor and bearings. This rigid housing prevents the internal misalignment that often occurs in lighter, multi-piece designs when striking heavy debris.
Wire-Protected Lower Grease Seals
Loflin includes a specialized wire-protection system around the lower seals to prevent vines, wire, and long grass from wrapping around the drive shaft. This simple but critical feature stops debris from tearing your hydraulic seals and causing the expensive motor leaks that sideline other cutters.
