Overview
The Werk-Brau 60-inch rotary cutter is a high-flow hydraulic attachment for compact skid steers on field maintenance, light brush clearing, and acreage vegetation management. The 60-inch cutting width is ideal for trail maintenance and tight spaces where larger cutters are impractical. Suitable for grasses, weeds, light brush, and overgrown fields on farms and rural properties. High-flow hydraulic circuit required. Ohio-built by Werk-Brau to commercial-duty specifications for sustained seasonal use. Available through authorized Werk-Brau dealers in Canada.

Key Facts
- Working width: 60 inches
- Type: hydraulic rotary cutter
- Drive: high-flow
- Application: field maintenance, light brush, acreage
- Mount: universal SSQA
- Weight: 500–1675 lbs
- Hydraulic flow: 25–35 GPM
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
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
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.
