Yes, the same ½” by 4” single side updraft blades are used on both the V40 and the V50 Rotary Brush Cutters.
No. The motor is only rated for 16-25 gpm. All of the motors that Virnig uses have a zero overflow tolerance. Using the attachment at higher than rated flow will eventually cause catastrophic failure of the motor and can cause abnormal stress on the bearing spindle.
The design is similar, with the V40 Rotary Brush Cutter having no options for a Rear Roller or Swivel Casters. The steel grade and thickness and amount of weld is different in some areas as well. Virnig uses at least grade 50 steel on all attachments, and a full 1 year warranty ensures that all quality is as expected from the V50 series. See the comparison chart for more information.
The Rotary Brush Cutter is not designed to use casters or a rear roller.
Virnig V40 Rotary Brush Cutters are designed to clear undergrowth and cut small trees up to 3” in diameter.
Standard deck cutters will be better at cutting grass and mulching material while open front cutters will be better for quickly clearing brush and small trees.
No. Running the flywheel system in reverse will cause the cutter to cut poorly, easily stall, and have minimal torque.
The Rotary Brush Cutter is designed to spin counter-clockwise and takes 7-10 seconds to come to a complete stop. If the flywheel is running in reverse, slow down will be much faster and very loud.
Operating the Rotary Brush Cutter’s flywheel counter-clockwise is essential for proper operation and preventing damage to the cutter’s blades and motor.
The spindle is the most expensive performance component on a skid steer brush cutter. It is responsible for smoothly transferring power from the hydraulic motor to the flywheel and absorbing impact that could damage the hydraulic motor.
High-performance skid steer brush cutters require heavy-duty spindles to ensure reliability and productivity.
Standard pressure relief valves protect the motor and the loader’s hydraulic system from damaging pressure spikes. When the maximum pressure point is reached, the valve opens to prevent pressure from rising any further. This prevents seals or other internal components from breaking due to excessive pressure.
Skid steer brush cutters are capable of throwing debris over 200 feet and can cause serious bodily harm or death if not used with a shatterproof cab.
For efficient operation, purchase a skid steer brush cutter with a cut width that is wider than the tires or tracks of your loader.
Loader capacity should also be considered. Selecting a skid steer attachment that is too wide will add weight, volume, and surface area, all factors that could affect performance.
