Attachments for
Excavators or Backhoes
When you demand the best, Brush Wolf is the manufacturer with the most experience in making rotary cutters for your excavating equipment. The variety of features makes Brush Wolf brush cutter attachments perfect for excavators and backhoes. Choose your motor type. Choice a cutter with a chain curtain or without. Your cutter will be custom to your cutting needs.
The chain curtains help reduce debris discharge which is especially helpful when cutting near roadsides or buildings. Remove the chain curtains to expose the blades and aggressively destroy brush on impact.
