Baumalight CF572 Open Front Rotary Brush Cutter for Skid Steers

The Baumalight CF572 Open Front Rotary Brush Cutter is a commercial-grade skid steer attachment engineered for aggressive land clearing, brush management, and tree removal. Featuring an 82-inch cutting path, 72-inch cutting width, four AR400 slasher blades, and an open-front push bar design, the CF572 is built to tackle thick brush, saplings, and trees up to 4 inches in diameter with exceptional speed and efficiency.

Designed for skid steers weighing 5,000 to 12,000 pounds, the CF572 combines a rugged 1/4-inch steel deck, commercial-duty 90 HP bevel gearbox, and Baumalight's innovative four-blade rotor system to deliver professional results in the toughest working conditions.

Built for Heavy Land Clearing

The CF572 is designed for contractors who need more than a standard brush mower. Its open-front configuration allows standing trees and heavy brush to feed directly into the cutting chamber, making quick work of dense vegetation.

Perfect for clearing:

• Trees up to 4" diameter
• Heavy brush
• Thick saplings
• Dense undergrowth
• Tall grass
• Fence rows
• Utility rights-of-way
• Pipeline corridors
• Trails
• Roadside vegetation
• Construction sites
• Overgrown properties

Open Front with Heavy-Duty Push Bar

The CF572's 72-inch open-front deck allows larger material to enter the cutter without restriction.

The integrated Brush Bar features a heavy-duty double-arch design that:

• Funnels brush into the blades
• Holds standing trees while cutting
• Improves feeding of woody material
• Increases productivity
• Creates a controlled sawing action for tree removal

This design dramatically improves efficiency compared to traditional enclosed rotary brush cutters.

Four-Blade AR400 Rotor System

The CF572 utilizes four reversible AR400 slasher blades mounted on a heavy-duty rotor assembly.

Each blade features Baumalight's exclusive curved profile that produces two cuts during every revolution, delivering:

• Up to 52 slashes per second
• Faster brush reduction
• Superior mulching
• Cleaner cuts
• Longer blade life
• Reduced vibration

Manufactured from 1/4-inch AR400 hardened steel, the blades are reversible for maximum service life and reduced operating costs.

Triple Diameter Tree Cutting Performance

Baumalight's 1:1.46 gearbox increaser significantly increases blade tip speed, allowing the CF572 to efficiently process larger woody material.

Combined with the open-front design and four-blade rotor, this system provides:

• Triple diameter tree-felling capability
• Faster tree removal
• Improved brush processing
• Higher production rates
• Reduced horsepower loss

Commercial-Duty 90 HP Bevel Gearbox

Unlike conventional direct-drive rotary cutters, the CF572 uses a heavy-duty 90 HP bevel gearbox that isolates cutting impacts from the hydraulic motor.

Advantages include:

• Increased drivetrain durability
• Reduced hydraulic motor shock
• Longer component life
• Improved torque transfer
• Reliable performance in demanding applications

A built-in 3,000 PSI hydraulic relief valve protects both the skid steer and the brush cutter from hydraulic overload.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Every Baumalight CF572 is built for years of commercial use.

Heavy-duty features include:

• 1/4-inch steel deck
• Heavy-duty rotor with 3/4-inch top plate
• 3/8-inch bottom rotor plate
• Reinforced four-way blade carrier
• Heavy-duty output shaft shield
• Powder-coated finish
• Anti-slip safety strips
• Hose Armour hydraulic protection

Optional Tail Wheel

An optional bolt-on tail wheel (D002918) provides additional support for the mower deck while helping maintain a consistent cutting height.

Benefits include:

• Improved deck stability
• More uniform cutting height
• Adjustable height settings
• Raises cutting height approximately 2 inches
• Easy bolt-on installation

Hose Armour Protection

Every CF572 includes Baumalight's Hose Armour, a durable protective wrap designed to shield hydraulic hoses from punctures, abrasion, and damage caused by brush, limbs, and debris.

Heavy-Duty Chain Curtain

A heavy-duty rear chain curtain minimizes debris discharge while allowing standing brush to enter and finely mulched material to exit the cutter.

Baumalight's weld-free curtain rod system extends chain curtain life by allowing the curtain to absorb impacts without stressing welded connections.

Free Replacement Blade Set Included

Every new Baumalight CF572 Rotary Brush Cutter includes a free replacement set of AR400 slasher blades conveniently secured to the shipping skid, helping reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

ROTARY BRUSH CUTTING SIZE CHART (Brush Diameter in Inches)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big Dave's Review

Big Dave's Review: Built Like a Tank and Ready for the Tough Stuff!

If you're looking for a brush cutter that isn't afraid of hard work, the Baumalight CF572 deserves a serious look. This isn't your average mower—it's a true land-clearing machine built for contractors, municipalities, farmers, and property owners who spend more time cutting brush and saplings than mowing grass.

The first thing you'll notice is the massive open-front design. Unlike enclosed brush cutters that force material into a small opening, the CF572's push bar lets you drive right into heavy brush and trees up to 4 inches in diameter. The four AR400 reversible slasher blades absolutely chew through woody material, and the 82-inch cutting path covers a lot of ground in a hurry.

What really stands out is the build quality. From the 1/4-inch steel deck to the heavy-duty 90 HP bevel gearbox, everything about this attachment says it's built to last. Baumalight also includes features that many competitors charge extra for, including Hose Armour, a heavy-duty rear chain curtain, anti-slip step strips, and even a free replacement set of blades with every new machine.

Another thing I appreciate is Baumalight's commitment to the Right to Repair. They provide service videos, use industry-standard replacement parts, and make maintenance much easier than many manufacturers. That's a big plus for anyone who relies on their equipment every day.

Big Dave's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Pros:

• Heavy-duty commercial construction
• Open-front design makes cutting trees and heavy brush much easier
• Four AR400 blades provide aggressive cutting and excellent mulching
• Wide 82-inch cutting path increases productivity
• Free replacement blade set included
• Easy-to-service design with readily available parts

Cons:

• Requires an adequately sized skid steer to get the most out of it.
• If you're only mowing grass, this attachment is probably more machine than you need.

Final Verdict

If your work involves land clearing, forestry, right-of-way maintenance, or reclaiming overgrown property, the Baumalight CF572 is one of the toughest rotary brush cutters on the market. It's engineered for professionals who demand durability, productivity, and long-term reliability. This is an attachment you buy once and put to work for years.
