Ground Shark XD SS Brush Cutter

The Ground Shark™ Extreme Duty High Flow and new Hi/Low Flow Brush Cutters are designed for clearing medium to heavy density brush and hardwoods up to 10” diameter (30-45 GPM models) from wooded acreage, road right-of-ways and pipeline maintenance. The exclusive, patented retractable forward cutting shield moves up and back to expose the entire cutting edge of each blade as it comes in contact with a tree or heavy brush. This Bradco® pioneered feature provides additional safety protection for the operator and worksite while greatly minimizing flying debris. 

Ground Shark Extreme Duty Features

• Exclusive patented retractable cutting forward shield (Patent Pending). When using the Ground Shark™ on brush/ trees that are bigger then 4” in diameter, the shield will retract on its own to allow for maximum performance
• Pressure gauge indicator easily visible to the operator helps prevent excessive stalling and overheating
• Heavy duty push bar pushes trees away from the operator and provides additional control when felling trees
• Bolt-on carbide stump grinding teeth increases mulching performance and take the stump down to ground level
• .25" steel "clean deck" design with high quality powder coat helps keep clear of debris and is easier to clean and maintain.
• Alternating bevel blade design provides a deep penetrating self-clearing cut
• Blades made of .75" thick high grade steel with reversing design for added blade life.
• Carbide bottom blade carrier

This is a very nice cutter and is one of the most popular models. Reliable piston motor requires 30-45 gpm. from the carrier. The one design issue maybe the front chains. When cutting bigger trees you use the "V" on the front of the deck to position and cut the tree. I can see these chains getting in the way.
