Virnig V40 Rotary Brush Cutter for Skid Steer

The Virnig V40 Rotary Brush Cutter is a rugged open-front attachment for skid steers, engineered to tackle dense brush and small trees with power and precision. It’s ideal for land clearing, roadside maintenance, and farm or utility maintenance where heavy vegetation needs fast, clean cutting.

• Open Front Deck: Designed for easy feeding of thick brush and efficient debris clearance in tough clearing jobs.
• Cut Width: Available in 60" (66" overall width) or 72" (78" overall width) to maximize coverage and reduce cycle time.
• Three-Blade Cutting System: Mounted to a circular flywheel for steady cutting action and better resilience when encountering stumps.
• Flywheel Weight: 170–220 lb flywheel delivers consistent cut power while helping the cutter bounce off obstacles instead of damaging components.
• Direct Drive Eaton Motor: Rated up to 25 GPM, compatible with a wide range of skid steer hydraulics for versatile operation.
• Dual Hydraulic Relief Valves & Dynamic Braking: Provides controlled stopping of the flywheel in under 10 seconds for safer, more predictable operation.
• Push Bar & Protection: Tall front push bar adds rigidity and helps push through thick brush and trees; vented motor guard shields critical components from debris while maximizing cooling airflow.
• Cutting Capacity & Ground Contact: Specifically designed to cut dense brush and trees up to 3" in diameter and can be set to cut down to ground level to minimize regrowth.
• Blade Design: 1/2" x 4" single-side updraft blades optimized for aggressive cutting and mulching.
• Weight & Dimensions (by model): 60" model ≈ 1,090 lb with a cutter depth of 71.1"; 72" model ≈ 1,310 lb with a cutter depth of 82.1".
• Flow Rate Requirements: Operation typically requires 16–25 GPM hydraulic flow.
• Included Hardware: Comes with universal skid steer mounting hoses and couplers for quick installation.
• Shipping & Availability: In stock items usually ship in 3–5 days; non-stock items typically ship in 4–6 weeks.
• Loader Capacity: Recommended loader capacity greater than 1,500 lbs ROC to handle the 60" or 72" cutter safely.
• Blade Tip Speed: Roughly 9,360–14,630 FPM (60" model) and 11,235–17,555 FPM (72" model) depending on flow rate.

The Virnig V40 is designed to deliver fast, effective clearing of thick vegetation while keeping operator control and equipment safety in mind. By cutting to ground level when needed, it minimizes future regrowth and reduces maintenance cycles. Its robust construction—from the heavy flywheel and three-blade system to the vented motor guard and protective push bar—supports demanding jobs in farmland,Utility ROWs, right-of-way maintenance, and rural property management. For maximum performance, pair it with a compatible skid steer operating within the specified flow and loader capacity, and always operate with appropriate safety protections, including a shatterproof cab, as debris can travel significant distances during operation.
