Overview
The Bobcat 96-inch rotary cutter is a wide-format hydraulic brush cutter for full-size Bobcat skid steers on large-area vegetation management and right-of-way maintenance. The 8-foot cutting width reduces pass count on wide highway corridors, large pastures, and utility rights-of-way. Bobcat factory cutters are engineered for their machine's hydraulics and mounting system. Available through Bobcat dealers across Canada.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You're clearing overgrown fields, brush lines, or rights-of-way with vegetation up to 3 inches diameter
- You want a single attachment that handles both heavy brush and coarse grass cutting
- Your acreage management work doesn't justify a dedicated forestry mulcher
⛔ Skip if…
- You need to cut trees or woody material over 4 inches — a brush mulcher handles that range better
- Fine-cut finish quality matters — flail mowers produce a much finer cut with less scatter
🔍 Also consider…
- Flail mower for finer mulching and safer operation near structures
- Forestry mulcher/brush mulcher for material over 4 inches diameter
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Wide attachment — verify your machine's rated operating capacity (ROC) before ordering. Best suited to large-frame machines (S750+ class or equivalent CTL).
About Bobcat in Canada
Bobcat is one of the most recognized skid steer brands in Canada, with a dealer presence in every province. Their OEM attachments are engineered specifically for Bobcat machines but use universal SSQA mounts for cross-brand compatibility.
Care & Maintenance
- Inspect blade tips or flail hammers for wear after each use — dull cutting edges increase engine load and reduce cut quality significantly
- Check all blade bolts for proper torque before every use — loose blades on a high-RPM rotary cutter are a serious safety hazard
- Grease deck spindle bearings after every 8 hours of operation — spindle bearing failure is the most common and expensive rotary cutter repair
- Check the belt drive or hydraulic motor for overheating signs (excessive heat, smell) after extended cutting sessions in dense material
- Remove wrapped material (wire, twine, root) from around the rotor shaft after every use — wrapped material cuts through shaft seals and causes bearing contamination
How to Connect
- Attach rotary cutter frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic couplers for motor
- Test blade rotation direction before cutting
- Keep 50m+ clear of bystanders — blade tip speed is extremely high
⚠ Safety NoteNever cut material larger than the blade rating. Rotary cutters eject debris at high velocity.
