Severe Duty Brush Cutter - Excavator - by CID

CID Severe Duty Excavator Brush Cutter

The CID Severe Duty Excavator Brush Cutter is a hydraulic rotary cutter that mounts on an excavator for heavy land clearing. A Parker bent axis piston motor spins three AR400 steel blades with mulching teeth across a 44″ cut, and CID rates it for trees up to 6″ in diameter. It's built for land-clearing contractors, right-of-way and utility crews, and landowners running excavators in CID's 18K–31K class. Two models are available: 17–35 GPM (SVEXCBCL) and 35+ GPM (SVEXCBCH).

Which CID Severe Excavator Cutter Do I Need?

• SVEXCBCL – 17–35 GPM: your excavator's auxiliary circuit flows 17–35 GPM. 913 lbs.
• SVEXCBCH – 35+ GPM: your excavator flows 35 GPM or more.

Both models need a case drain line. Not sure what your excavator flows or whether it has a case drain? Check your operator's manual, or call us with your make and model before you order.
