CXC542 Excavator Rotary Brush Cutter

The 42" Industrial excavator mounted Rotary Brush Cutter CXC542 model is offered for mid-range excavators. Built much like the CXC550, the same bearing support is used with only the frame and rotor smaller for less weight to go on smaller excavators.
We offer multiple motors to exact match your flow so be sure to checkout the motor options area of the page below to maximize your work as you clear land with your excavator.

SERVICE AND INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS & RIGHT TO REPAIR

Baumalight offers customers a series of helpful service & instructional videos and supports the right to repair. These videos show you how to perform your own trouble shooting and repairs which can save you a lot of down time because many things can be fixed on the spot by end users. Also, after the warranty period is over, a lot of money can be saved if you can do things yourself following simple instructions on trouble shooting, maintenance and repairs.

Three Cuts per Pass

As the rotating rotor mass throws the slasher blades at small diameter trees, the blade slices small sections away as the Rotary Brush Cutter advances forward. The leading tip takes a small bite and is immediately followed by the second tip taking another bite at 75–100 slashes per second with devastating results. The Rotary Brush Cutter’s reversible/replaceable blades are made of long lasting 1/2" AR 400 steel.

Two cuts per pass and a real slasher

Large Bearing Support

Carburized alloy steel shafts are standard measuring 2.95" in diameter at the bearings and weighing substantial 104lbs. Built with high quality double-lip oil seals and using an ISO class external bearing locknut system.

Large bearing support

Blade Mount

To secure slasher blades to the blade assembly, Baumalight uses Gr. 8 bolts capped off with castle nuts and cotter pins.
