Description
Bradco / Paladin built
Cuts up to 10"
30–45 GPM
Overview
This Bradco high flow skid steer brush cutter — the Ground Shark High Performance (HP) — clears brush and hardwoods up to 10" in diameter on a skid steer quick attach, running on 30–45 GPM of auxiliary hydraulic flow. Available in 72" and 84" cutting widths, weighing 1,895 lbs. Minimum cutting height is 2.5". Bradco builds the Ground Shark in four duty grades and cutting capacity is what separates them — match the grade to the largest material you actually cut.
Key Features of the Bradco High Flow Skid Steer Brush Cutter
- High torque radial piston direct drive hydraulic motor for higher efficiency and extended durability.
- Blades 5/8" thick by 5" wide, made from high grade steel.
- 84" deck plate — sold as the GS84HP, the largest cutting width Bradco offers in the Ground Shark range.
- A true 10 inch brush cutter, and a high performance brush cutter in the literal sense: capacity and width together set the throughput.
- An 84 inch brush cutter needs a high flow machine — 30-45 GPM is the operating window.
- Cuts material up to 10" in diameter — Bradco's published capacity for this grade.
- Requires 30–45 GPM of auxiliary flow, so it is matched to the machine rather than to a size class.
- Bolt-on replaceable skid shoes, so the wear part is a consumable rather than a repair.
- The motor and valve assembly are fully shielded, preventing contact with debris.
- A brush cutter for skid steer work, not a mower. The blades are built to sever standing material, not to trim grass.
Why Choose This High Flow Skid Steer Brush Cutter
- Width is throughput. At 84" this is the widest Ground Shark, and on large-acreage work cutting width is what determines how long the job takes.
- Capacity is the whole decision. A cutter run past its rated diameter stalls, bogs the machine and shortens blade life — the grade exists to prevent that.
- Flow must match, not merely exceed. Too little flow and the cutter never reaches speed; the recommended range is the operating window, not a minimum.
- One attachment, many jobs. Buyers comparing a skid steer brush cutter for sale against a rental usually find the attachment pays for itself within a season of regular clearing.

Which Ground Shark Grade Do You Need?
Bradco builds four grades of the Ground Shark. They share the mount and the direct-drive layout; what changes is the diameter of material each will cut and the flow it needs to do it.
| Grade | Cuts up to | Recommended flow | Min cutting height | Widths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Duty (SD) | 4" | 15–25 / 26–32 / 33–40 GPM | 2" | 60", 72", 78" |
| Heavy Duty (HD) | 7" | 20–34 GPM | 2.5" | 66", 72" |
| High Performance (HP) | 10" | 30–45 GPM | 2.5" | 72", 84" |
| Extreme Duty (XD) | 10" | 30–45 GPM | 3.25" | 72", 78" |
The Extreme Duty Ground Shark matches this cutting capacity in a heavier build. For lower flow, the Heavy Duty cuts to 7" on 20-34 GPM and the Standard Duty to 4".
Which Machines Fit This High Flow Skid Steer Brush Cutter?
The Ground Shark High Performance (HP) mounts on a standard skid steer quick attach, so fitment is decided by hydraulic flow rather than by machine brand. Your loader must supply 30–45 GPM at the auxiliary circuit.
| Machine requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Auxiliary hydraulic flow | 30–45 GPM |
| Mount | Skid steer quick attach |
| Attachment weight to allow for | 1,895 lbs |
| Cutting capacity this grade supports | Up to 10" diameter |
Check your loader's auxiliary flow rating before ordering — it is the specification that decides whether this grade will work. A skid steer with brush cutter fitted is only as effective as the flow behind it. If you are unsure, contact eskidsteer.com at (866) 757-8337.
Ground Shark High Performance (HP) Questions, Answered
What is the difference between High Performance and Extreme Duty?
Both cut to 10 inches on 30-45 GPM. The Extreme Duty is a heavier build with a higher minimum cutting height (3.25 inches against 2.5), so High Performance cuts closer to the ground while Extreme Duty is built for sustained abuse.
Do I need a high flow machine?
Yes. This grade requires 30-45 GPM, which is beyond standard-flow output on most skid steers. If your machine supplies less, the Heavy Duty at 20-34 GPM is the grade to look at.
What size material will the High Performance (HP) cut?
Bradco rates this grade for brush and hardwoods up to 10" in diameter.
How much hydraulic flow does it need?
It requires 30–45 GPM at the auxiliary circuit. Flow below that range means the cutter never reaches working speed.
How do the four Ground Shark grades differ?
By cutting capacity and flow. Standard Duty cuts to 4" on 15-40 GPM, Heavy Duty to 7" on 20-34 GPM, and both High Performance and Extreme Duty to 10" on 30-45 GPM.
Will it fit my skid steer?
It mounts on a standard skid steer quick attach, so the mount is brand-agnostic. What matters is whether your auxiliary circuit supplies the required flow.
Is there a mini skid steer brush cutter in this range?
The Ground Shark grades are built for full-size skid steer loaders and compact track loaders on a standard quick attach. Mini skid steers have lower flow than these cutters need.
Is a used skid steer brush cutter for sale worth considering?
Blades, skid shoes and the motor are the wear items. On a used unit, check blade condition and whether the motor and valve shielding is intact — those are what a new brush cutter skid steer buyers choose is protecting.
What is the difference between a brush cutter attachment and a mower?
A skid steer brush cutter attachment severs standing woody material to a rated diameter. A mower trims grass. The blade design, deck thickness and flow requirement are all different.
