FAQs

The V20 Mini Skid Steer Brush Cutter has three mini mounts to choose from:

  1. ASV®
  2. Bobcat®
  3. Toro ®/Mini-Universal

Universal skid steer quick tach mount not available.

No, they aren’t as long as the blades on the V40 Cutters but they both use the same mount hardware and utilize ½” x 4” updraft blades.

The motor is rated for 11-18 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.

Virnig V20 Mini Skid Steer Rotary Brush Cutters are designed to clear undergrowth and cut small trees up to 3” in diameter.

Closed front cutters will be better at cutting grass and mulching material while open front cutters will be better for quickly clearing brush and small trees.

Virnig Brush Cutters are capable of throwing debris over 200 feet and can cause serious bodily harm or death. V20 Mini Skid Steer Brush Cutters should NEVER be operated with the rear deck more than 12” above the ground. Doing so creates a great risk of damage to the loader as well as injury or death of the operator.

The Rotary Brush Cutter is not designed to use casters or a rear roller.

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.

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.
