Brush Mowers For Skid Steer - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

Haugen's industrial-grade skid steer brush cutter series comes in two deck styles — HBM (Closed Front) and HOC (Open Front) — and two flow requirements: Standard Flow (15–25 GPM) and High Flow (26–40 GPM). Three widths: 60", 72", and 78". Standard flow models cut up to 3" diameter material; high flow models cut up to 4" diameter. Features include stump jumper, 1/4" reinforced deck, 2 bi-directional blades, hoses and couplers included. Universal Quick Attach. Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

• Closed Front (HBM): contains cut material within deck | Open Front (HOC): for larger brush without plugging
• Standard Flow (15-25 GPM): 60", 72", 78" widths | up to 3" cutting diameter
• High Flow (26-40 GPM): 72", 78" widths | up to 4" cutting diameter
• 2 bi-directional blades
• Stump jumper
• 1/4" reinforced deck
• Hoses and couplers included
• Universal Quick Attach | Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• Open front (HOC) allows large brush and trees to enter the deck without plugging — a closed-front mower relies on the blade pulling material under the deck. With large brush (2-4" diameter stems, tangled vines, deadfall), closed-front decks frequently plug when the material cannot pass fast enough through the enclosed front. The open-front HOC removes this restriction by allowing large material to enter the cutter directly from the front, dramatically reducing plugging on heavy brush jobs.
• Stump jumper protects blades and gearbox from ground strikes — the stump jumper is a rotating plate behind the blades that rides over stumps and ground debris without transmitting impact to the blades or gearbox. Without it, hitting a buried stump or large rock at operating speed would bend a blade or damage the gearbox. The stump jumper is especially important in brushy terrain where ground debris is hidden under vegetation.
• High-flow models deliver 4" cutting capacity that cannot be achieved with standard flow — cutting capacity (trunk diameter) in brush cutters scales with hydraulic power. Standard flow (15-25 GPM) reliably handles stems up to approximately 3". High-flow (26-40 GPM) pushes through stems up to 4". Anything above 3" on a standard flow machine will stall the motor and risk overheating. Choose high-flow if your work regularly involves material 3-4" in diameter.
• Ultra-heavy-duty industrial construction handles repeated high-cycle commercial mowing — consumer and light-commercial brush cutters are often rated for 50-100 hours of seasonal use. Haugen's brush mowers are industrial-grade units designed for daily commercial use, with the 1/4" deck, heavy gearbox, and robust motor mounting built for sustained high-cycle land clearing operations.

Standard Flow (15-25 GPM) — 3" Cutting Diameter

High Flow (26-40 GPM) — 4" Cutting Diameter

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

Check your machine's auxiliary hydraulic flow (GPM) before selecting a model. Standard models require 15-25 GPM. High-flow models require 26-40 GPM. Using a standard flow machine (17-20 GPM) with a high-flow model will underperform the attachment. Running a high-flow machine on a standard-flow model may require flow control (check with Haugen). Also verify your machine's rated operating capacity against the attachment weight.
