The Difference:
Bush-Whacker’s Rear-Mount Boom Cutter is an engineering marvel! We offer a notable difference with our ¾” cutting blades versus traditional ½” or 5/8″ and a completely self contained hydraulic system. Bush-Whacker’s Rear-Mount Cutter also includes blades with a cutting edge on three sides versus traditional two-sides. And best of all, you’ll receive the benefits of a heavy duty mid-mount cutter at the price (and convenience) of a 3-point hitch!
We now offer two cutting head options:
A) A hinged deck brush cutter
B) A saw blade attachment
