CID Tree Reaper Brush Cutter for Mini Skid Steers

Take on heavy brush, saplings, overgrowth, and demanding property-clearing jobs with the CID Tree Reaper Brush Cutter for Mini Skid Steers. Designed to bring serious land-clearing capability to compact equipment, the Tree Reaper combines a 4-inch cutting capacity, high-torque hydraulic motor, heavy-duty AR400 steel blades, and compact 40-inch or 48-inch cutting widths.

Unlike larger skid steer brush cutters that require a full-size carrier, the CID Mini Tree Reaper is specifically built for compact loaders and mini skid steers. Its narrow working width makes it ideal for clearing fence lines, trails, wooded lots, landscaping projects, rights-of-way, property edges, and other areas where maneuverability matters.

With hydraulic configurations available for 10–15 GPM, 14–20 GPM, or 16–26 GPM, the Tree Reaper can be matched to a wide range of mini skid steer hydraulic systems. Better yet, no case drain is required, simplifying installation and operation on compatible machines.

Why Choose the CID Mini Skid Steer Tree Reaper?

The CID Tree Reaper is more than a light-duty mower. It is built for operators who need a compact brush cutter capable of attacking woody vegetation and saplings while still fitting into areas where larger skid steers may struggle.

Cuts Brush and Trees Up to 4 Inches in Diameter

The Mini Tree Reaper is rated to cut brush and saplings up to 4 inches in diameter, giving contractors, landowners, landscapers, and property-maintenance crews significantly more clearing capability than a conventional finish mower.

Common applications include:

• Clearing heavy brush and overgrowth
• Cutting saplings and small trees
• Reclaiming overgrown property
• Opening trails and access paths
• Clearing fence lines
• Maintaining wooded lots
• Right-of-way maintenance
• Landscaping and property cleanup
• Clearing vegetation around farms and acreage
• Working in tight or restricted areas

Dual 5/8-Inch AR400 Steel Cutting Blades

CID equips the Mini Tree Reaper with two heavy-duty 5/8-inch AR400 steel blades.

AR400 steel is designed for demanding, abrasive applications, making the blade system well suited for repeated contact with thick brush and woody vegetation. The dual-blade design provides the cutting force necessary for aggressive brush-management applications while maintaining the compact footprint of a mini skid steer attachment.

High-Torque Hydraulic Motor

At the center of the Tree Reaper is a high-torque hydraulic motor designed to provide dependable cutting force when working through dense vegetation.

CID offers the cutter in multiple hydraulic flow configurations so the attachment can be properly paired to the auxiliary hydraulic output of the carrier.

• 10–15 GPM
• 14–20 GPM
• 16–26 GPM

Select the hydraulic configuration that corresponds with your mini skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic flow.

No Case Drain Required

The CID Mini Skid Steer Tree Reaper is designed to operate without a case drain.

Compatible machines do not need a separate case-drain connection to operate the cutter, reducing hydraulic connection requirements and making the attachment easier to pair with many compact loaders.

CID Tree Reaper Mini Skid Steer Brush Cutter Specifications

Mounting Note: CID offers several mounting configurations depending on cutter width and current production configuration. Confirm the required mounting plate for your specific mini skid steer before ordering.

40-Inch vs. 48-Inch CID Tree Reaper

Both Tree Reaper sizes provide the same 4-inch cutting capacity, dual AR400 blade system, hydraulic-flow choices, high-torque motor, and no-case-drain design. The primary differences are working width, weight, and available mounting configurations.

40-Inch CID Tree Reaper

The 40-inch Tree Reaper weighs approximately 558 lbs. and provides the most compact configuration.

Its narrower width can be especially advantageous when working:

• Between trees
• Along narrow trails
• Around landscaping
• Through gates
• Along fence lines
• In densely wooded areas
• On confined job sites

The 40-inch model is an excellent choice when maneuverability is more important than covering the maximum amount of ground per pass.

48-Inch CID Tree Reaper

The 48-inch Tree Reaper weighs approximately 634 lbs. and provides an additional eight inches of cutting width.

The larger deck can improve productivity when clearing larger areas while still maintaining the compact dimensions expected from a mini skid steer attachment.

The 48-inch configuration is also offered with a broader selection of mounting options, including Universal configurations.

CID Tree Reaper Hydraulic Requirements

Correct hydraulic matching is critical when selecting a hydraulic mini skid steer brush cutter. The CID Tree Reaper is offered for three auxiliary hydraulic flow ranges.

10–15 GPM Hydraulic Configuration

Designed for lower-flow mini skid steers and compact loaders with auxiliary hydraulic output between 10 and 15 GPM.

14–20 GPM Hydraulic Configuration

Designed for machines operating in the mid-range of mini skid steer auxiliary hydraulic output between 14 and 20 GPM.

16–26 GPM Hydraulic Configuration

Designed for higher-flow compact machines capable of supplying between 16 and 26 GPM.

Always match the Tree Reaper motor configuration to the actual auxiliary hydraulic specifications of your carrier.

Replaceable Skid Shoes for Long-Term Serviceability

Both the 40-inch and 48-inch Tree Reaper feature replaceable skid shoes.

Skid shoes are positioned in a high-wear area of a brush cutter, especially when operating close to the ground. Making them replaceable allows worn components to be serviced instead of requiring replacement of larger structural portions of the cutter.

For contractors and commercial operators, this helps make the Tree Reaper more practical for long-term use.

Compact Size with Serious Land-Clearing Capability

One of the biggest advantages of the CID Mini Skid Steer Tree Reaper is the amount of cutting capability it puts on a compact carrier.

With a cutting capacity of up to 4 inches, the Tree Reaper gives mini skid steer operators the ability to tackle vegetation that might otherwise require chainsaws, larger equipment, or multiple attachments.

Key features include:

• 40" or 48" working widths
• Up to 4" cutting capacity
• Dual 5/8" AR400 steel blades
• High-torque hydraulic motor
• 10–15 GPM hydraulic option
• 14–20 GPM hydraulic option
• 16–26 GPM hydraulic option
• No case drain required
• Replaceable skid shoes
• Multiple mounting configurations

This combination makes the Tree Reaper a strong option for contractors, landscapers, land-clearing professionals, farmers, acreage owners, and property-maintenance crews looking for a heavy-duty brush cutter for a mini skid steer.

Mini Skid Steer Compatibility

The CID Tree Reaper is available with mounting options designed around several popular mini skid steer and compact-loader mount families, including:

• Dingo-style mounts
• Bobcat MT / MT50-style mounts
• RC30 configurations
• Universal configurations on applicable models

Physical mounting compatibility is only one part of attachment fitment. Your carrier must also have the appropriate auxiliary hydraulic flow and sufficient operating capacity for the selected Tree Reaper.

Before ordering, verify:

1. Mini skid steer make and model
2. Auxiliary hydraulic flow in GPM
3. Mounting system
4. Machine operating capacity
5. Desired 40" or 48" cutting width
