WATCH: BRUSH CUTTER DEMONSTRATION VIDEO & CUSTOMER STORY

“The cutting edge is quite heavy. We can put it through some punishment. We need to get all the way to the bottom to keep the sides of levees looking good and manageable. The Dymax VortexMax Brush cutter has a long reach and is doing a good job. We can take out trees up to 8 inches wide.”
