Application
Cat® Brushcutters are used for clearing overgrowth from highway medians, utility easements and for initial land clearing for housing, parks and recreational areas.
Blades and Blade Carriers
High strength blades deliver high cutting action, durability and also mulch overgrowth. Fully balanced blade carrier prevents unnecessary vibration. Tapered blade carrier allows cutter to ride up over stumps and rocks.
Long Life Motor and Gears

Heavy-duty skids allow easy movement of the brushcutter through uneven terrain while maintaining stability of the work tool and machine.
Lift Restriction Chains
Lift restriction chains limit operating height of the brush cutter to reduce flying debris and blade damage.
