Mini brush cutters
A common misconception is that you need a full-sized skid steer to operate a brush cutter, but this is not true. We offer skid steer mini brush cutter accessories for all models of skid steers.
A mini miniature brush cutter is often the preferred accessory for clear trails and parks due to its smaller size, excellent maneuverability, and superior visibility.
In this 5-minute read, we’ll look at miniature mini brushcutters, how they work and their benefits.
key points
- Miniature brush cutters offer a high return on investment.
- Blue Diamond model mini brush cutters offer all the benefits of full size miniature brush cutters.
Why consider a mini miniature brush cutter?
A mini brush cutter is an excellent accessory for clearing brush in tight areas such as urban trails and construction sites. Lower start-up costs and easier transportation are also key benefits for business owners. In fact, many business owners report a greater return on investment on mini brush cutter attachments than their full-size counterparts.
Most miniature brush cutters are designed with a direct drive hydraulic system that eliminates the need for chains and PTOs that you would have on a compact tractor. Smaller geroler-style hydraulic motors tend to be more forgiving than the larger piston motors used in most full-size brushcutters.
An additional advantage of the hydraulic geroler motor is that it can often be operated in forward and reverse. The ‘reverse hydraulic motor’ feature means you can rotate the blades in one direction to cut woody material and then reverse the direction of the motor when cutting grass. This keeps one side of the blades sharp for cleaner grass.
Many miniature brush cutter manufacturers are building open-front and closed-front models, offering customers many of the same purchasing options as larger brush cutters.
Which mini brush cutter do we recommend?
Blue Diamond’s mini brush cutter is a must-have accessory for those in the market. These are the most versatile brushes on the market. Check out some of the benefits below.
Sizes and options
Modeled after full-size compact loaders, the mini brushcutter comes in both open-front and closed-front models. As a reminder, we recommend the open front brush cutter for customers looking to clear thick brush and the closed front brush cutter for customers looking for a nice finish on their lawn.
The open front brush cutter comes in a 42″ wide model, designed to be the right size for almost all skid steer loaders. The closed front model comes in 36″, 42″ and 50″ models your needs
Hydraulic motor
The Blue Diamond mini brush cutter features an 80cc direct drive hydraulic rotary engine designed for use with 13-20 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow. Some models will allow a greater hydraulic flow rate. The hydraulic motor allows for a “two-way” cut on all miniature mini brush cutter models.
Easy access to leaves
All miniature accessories must be designed with maintenance in mind. That’s why Blue Diamond has placed an access control to allow the user to change the blades without lifting the brushcutter. The triangular blade holder has three blades secured with a screw and a nut each.
Chain curtain
A chain curtain helps hold the material inside the cutter so it can be cut to smaller sizes while letting excess material out. The Enclosed Front Brushcutter has a chain curtain at both the front and back of the trimmer, making it ideal for areas overgrown with grass and unwanted weeds. The mini open steering brush cutter has only a chain curtain at the back. When pushing out unwanted brush with an open front cutter, you don’t want the chain at the front to interfere with the material being cut.
Cover design
The cover design of the Blue Diamond series of mini brushcutters is similar to brushcutters designed for full-size minicarts. Anti-slip shoes are tough and durable, and there are reefs in high stress areas. The open steering mini brush cutter has a small push bar built into the front, which works great when cutting small trees and saplings.

Because all Blue Diamond mini brush cutters are made in America, they stand behind their product with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.
