Heavy-Duty Brush Cutting

Brush that's gotten ahead of you

Give a Mississippi field three or four years without mowing and it stops being a field. Sweetgum and cedar saplings come up, privet fills the gaps, and blackberry and greenbriar tie it all together. A tractor and bush hog will bounce off most of it. That's where a skid steer brush cutter comes in.

Spartan Land Works runs a heavy-duty, high-flow brush cutter on a compact track loader. It's built to cut and shred woody growth that would stall or break a pull-behind mower, and it reaches into wood lines, ditches and slopes where a tractor can't go safely.

What brush cutting handles

Not sure which you need? Our guide on bush hogging vs. brush cutting breaks it down. If your property is mostly grass and weeds, regular bush hogging will cost you less.

Common brush cutting jobs

• Overgrown pasture and hay fields being brought back into use
• Wood lines that have crept 20 or 30 feet into a yard or field
• Undergrowth under hardwoods, so you can see and walk through the woods
• Ditch banks, drainage areas and pond dams that have grown up
• Hunting land: shooting lanes, trails and food plot edges
• Vacant lots that need to be shown to buyers

What's left behind

The cutter shreds most brush into mulch that stays on the ground, protects the soil and breaks down over a season or two. Heavier pieces can be gathered with a grapple and piled, moved or hauled off. We'll talk through which finish you want before we start, and it'll be in your written estimate.
