Toro Introduces 28” Hydro Drive Brush Cutter

The unit is ideal for the rental industry, as durability and ease-of-use have been primary drivers in the design of this highly versatile machine.

The commercial-grade, self-propelled brush cutter is ideal for many applications and operators. Its durable components and superior engineering allow operators to level brush, tall weeds, saplings, small trees and heavy vegetation with ease. The Toro hydro drive brush cutter can handle brush up to six feet tall and saplings up to two inches in diameter. Featuring a pivoting deck, the hydro drive brush cutter delivers a 4” height-of-cut.

In terms of operability, a two-step blade engagement, coupled with a parking brake, ensure that the 28-inch hydro drive brush cutter is as safe as it is dependable. Additionally, the operator can maneuver this powerful machine in both forward and reverse with one hand. Incredibly stable, the standard 6” four-ply tractor lug tires provide effective traction for brush removal projects on slopes or in ditches and culverts.

“The new hydro drive brush cutter is an exciting addition to our rental product offering,” says Sean O’Halloran, marketing manager at Toro. “Designed specifically for the rental industry, the hydro drive brush cutter is extremely rugged and features simple, intuitive controls that both professional contractors and novice operators alike will be able to master in a matter of minutes.”

The new unit also features quality components, including a high-strength steel deck with large diameter pulleys that optimize the longevity of the belts. Furthermore, an offset blade design reduces impacts to the unit while a spindle shaft saddle prevents the blade bolt from loosening during normal operation. These features combine to make an extremely reliable product, capable of handling a wide variety of challenging conditions. The brush cutter will begin shipping in fall 2016.
