🟡 High Flow
View on loftness.com →
Overview
The 96-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.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- Your skid steer runs 25+ GPM high-flow hydraulics and you need maximum cutting power for heavy brush
- You're land clearing or maintaining overgrown acreage where standard-flow cutters bog down
- ROI matters — a high-flow cutter clears more per hour than a standard model on the right machine
⛔ Skip if…
- Your machine doesn't have high-flow — you'll get no performance benefit and may damage fittings
- You're doing light grass cutting — standard flow is sufficient and the attachment costs less
🔍 Also consider…
- Standard rotary cutter if your machine doesn't have high-flow auxiliary
- Brush mulcher/forestry mulcher if you need to process 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).

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
