what are side arm brushcutters for tractors?
Tractor side-arm brushcutters are attachments designed for clearing, brushcutting and maintenance of vegetation in hard-to-reach areas. They are installed on the rear hitch of the tractor and use the power take-off (PTO) as a source of power Supply. Their main feature is the lateral hydraulic arm, which allows the cutting head to be moved to one side of the tractor and adjust its inclination to work on margins, ditches, slopes or rural roads.
They are widely used in agriculture, road maintenance, forestry work and municipal services, as they allow maintaining land in good condition even in uneven or sloping areas.
what are they used for?
- Cutting vegetation in ditches, margins and slopes: Perfect for maintaining clean areas where conventional equipment cannot reach.
- Maintenance of agricultural or forestry roads: They clean the edges of tracks, farms and accesses.
- Clearing of plots with slopes or thick vegetation: They reach sloping areas or areas with obstacles thanks to the articulated arm.
- Fire prevention and pest control: They eliminate accumulated weeds, reducing risks in dry seasons.
Main characteristics
- Adjustable hydraulic arm: Allows the head to move laterally and adjust its vertical angle, offering great versatility of work in different ground conditions.
- Different types of control
- Models with mechanical levers for basic and economical operation.
- Hydraulic joystick versions for more precise and comfortable control.
- Remote control options that allow the machine to be operated from a distance in complete safety.
- Multi-function brushcutting head: The standard head can incorporate oscillating hammers (for dense brush and woody debris) or Y-blades (for tall grass and light vegetation).
- Compatibility with other heads: Some brushcutters allow the head to be interchanged with knife bars, shredder discs or specific tools depending on the job to be done.
- Robust construction: Manufactured in highly resistant materials, prepared for intensive and prolonged use.
- Safety and stability: They incorporate hydraulic systems with safety valves, stops and protections to prevent damage due to impacts or overexertion.
Tractor side-arm brushcutters are indispensable tools for effective land maintenance, whether on farms, in forestry environments or public areas. Their ability to adapt to different types of vegetation, terrain and needs makes them a versatile, professional and durable solution.
