🟢 Standard Flow
View on loftness.com →
Overview
The 60-inch-inch rotary cutter (brush hog) clears tall grass, light brush, saplings, and overgrown fence lines on Canadian acreages and road allowances. Loftness (Minnesota) attachments are available through Canadian equipment dealers, particularly in western Canada. A high-inertia blade deck absorbs impacts from hidden rocks and stumps better than disc mulchers. Best matched to skid steers with adequate hydraulic flow. Available in Canada through Loftness dealers including New Holland and Case equipment dealers.

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
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

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
