Description
Baumalight Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter | Model CXC542 | Maximum Brush Size 5" | Cutting Width 42" | For Excavators
DESCRIPTION
The CXC542 Rotary Brush Cutter is a robust solution designed for mid-range excavators, mirroring the build quality of the CXC550 but with a smaller frame and rotor to accommodate smaller machines. Perfect for clearing land and handling dense brush, the CXC542 combines efficiency and reliability for your mid-sized excavation needs.
Key Features
- Cutting Width: 42", making it efficient for clearing medium-sized areas.
- Weight Management: Reduced weight for compatibility with smaller excavators.
- Bearing Support: Utilizes the same durable support as the CXC550.
- Motor Options: Multiple motors available to match your hydraulic flow precisely.
Three Cuts per Pass
As the rotating rotor mass throws the slasher blades at small diameter trees, the blade slices small sections away as the Rotary Brush Cutter advances forward. The leading tip takes a small bite and is immediately followed by the second tip taking another bite at 75–100 slashes per second with devastating results. The Rotary Brush Cutter’s reversible/replaceable blades are made of long lasting 1/2" AR 400 steel.
Large Bearing Support
Carburized alloy steel shafts are standard measuring 2.95" in diameter at the bearings and weighing substantial 104lbs. Built with high quality double-lip oil seals and using an ISO class external bearing locknut system.
Blade Mount
To secure slasher blades to the blade assembly, Baumalight uses Gr. 8 bolts capped off with castle nuts and cotter pins.
3-Way Model
Designed for easy service, the 3-Way models feature a heavy duty rotor with 3 fixed extensions. Each extension is finished off with a slasher blade. This configuration is capable of providing 75–100 slashes per second.
FREE BLADE SET
All CXC542 Rotary Brush Cutter come with a free set of replacement blades on a new purchase. These replacement blades are conveniently secured on the wooden shipping skid.
Deck Strength
Taking back your property can be a rough job. We designed and built the deck as a solid platform to take on the task. Built from rugged 1/4 inch steel and then further reinforced with support channels it’s a solid base of operations.
Bent Axis Piston Motor
Our industry leading bent axis piston motors make the most efficient use of your hydraulic flow and pressure for your brush clearing needs.
Rotor
Using a 1" top plate and a 1" bottom plate this heavy-duty rotor sandwiches the three–way blade assembly in place.

Hear From Our Customers
I wasn’t sure which mulcher would match up with my high-flow loader, but their team nailed it. I got a call from a fitment expert within an hour of ordering, and they walked me through every detail.
Heavy-Duty Quality – No Corners Cut
This isn’t cheap imported junk. You can tell the moment you unstrap it from the pallet. Welds are clean, steel is thick, and everything lined up perfect. It’s built for real work, not weekend projects.



Fast Shipping, Fair Price
I’ve ordered attachments before from other dealers and waited weeks. Skid Steer Store had mine out the door in 48 hours, and the pricing beat local suppliers by a mile. No BS, just solid gear delivered quick.
Made My Crew’s Job Easier
We run a small excavation outfit, and this auger attachment saved us a full day of labor on the first job. No leaks, no issues. Showed up crated and ready to go. Will be ordering again when we expand the fleet.

Real People Who Know Their Stuff
Called in with questions about a trenching bucket for a Takeuchi. Guy on the line actually knew what he was talking about. No hold music, no upselling, just straight answers and honest pricing. Hard to find that anymore.
Shipped Right to the Yard – Hassle-Free
I was expecting a mess with freight delivery, but it was smooth as could be. Skid Steer Store coordinated everything and it landed at our yard gate before the next job started. Zero downtime. That’s how it should be.
