Cutting Procedures

Brush Cutting
With the blades rotating, tilt the machine's
mounting frame backward, raising the front of the
brush cutter to roughly a 45° angle. Slowly drive
forward into the brush. Slowly lower the brush
cutter and start cutting.
Grass Cutting
With the blades rotating, tilt the machine's
mounting frame until the brush cutter deck is
parallel to the ground. Lower the brush cutter deck
to the ground or desired cutting height. Drive
forward and start cutting.
Tree Cutting
With the blades rotating, tilt the machine's
mounting frame backward, raising the front of the
brush cutter to roughly a 45° angle. Slowly drive
forward toward the tree. Cut lower branches,
exposing the trunk of the tree.
Tilt the machine's mounting frame until the brush
cutter deck is parallel to the ground. Slowly drive
into the tree until the push bar makes contact with
the tree trunk. Maintain slow, steady pressure,
cutting the trunk (as low to the ground as possible)
and allowing the push bar to push the tree away
from the machine.
With the blades rotating, tilt the machine's
mounting frame backward, raising the front of the
brush cutter to roughly a 45° angle. Slowly drive
forward into the brush. Slowly lower the brush
cutter and start cutting
Once the tree is down, tilt the machine's mounting
frame backward, raising the front of the brush
cutter to roughly a 45° angle. position the brush
cutter over the tree. Lower the brush cutter down,
removing the branches. Then move to the top of
the tree (small diameter end) and lower the brush
and slowly drive froward cutting the trunk.
