What Skid steer brushcutter are you running that you are really happy with? Will be using to clean up in hill country mostly cedars and there are some rocks around.

Im in looking as well would like to hear recommendations.

I absolutely DO NOT recommend the Bradco Ground Shark. Mine has less than 400 hours on it, and I’ve had to get the deck rebuilt. It’s a POS in my opinion.

I’ve got a Jenkins for my 75hp. I’ve only got probably 75-100hrs on the cutter, but I’ve been well pleased so far. Vail makes a fine unit if you have the coin.

We are on the same wave length, I didn’t see your post till after mine.
The more I look, the more confusing it is.
My short list is
Rut
Jenkins
Mtl
Skid pro

We hire this out at work to clear pipeline ROW’s. Most of these guys have Fecon stuff.

I’ve got a Jenkins and it’s been great. Built very heavy duty.

I’ve run a Vail X- series (rental) for a couple of weeks. Held up fine to 6” mesquite, wrapping barbed wire around the shaft, etc.

Not much of an endorsement, I realize, but it was definitely built tough, and had been used multiple times before I got to it. No cracked welds or other issues to suggest that there were obvious quality issues.
