Which One do you want to know about?
We recently acquired a new to us New Holland TL90 and turned the PTO horsepower up to over 100.
This week, it started earning it's keep by putting our 72" Everything Attachments Brush Cutter to the test.

This Premium, Rounded Deck Rotary Cutter features a 75 HP slip clutch protected gearbox that is bolted onto a solid 1/2" plate, which allows it to take the punishment that Ted puts it through towards the end of the video!
Keep in mind that Ted doesn't always treat attachments as they should be treated, but abuse is necessary when testing our products.
:)

The current ETA Brush Cutter lineup consists of:

48" Xtreme Duty Compact Brush Cutter with 40HP gearbox and shear pin

60" Xtreme Duty Brush Cutter with 40HP Gearbox and shear pin

60" Xtreme Duty Brush Cutter with 40HP Gearbox and slip clutch

60" Xtreme Duty Brush Cutter with 75HP Gearbox and slip clutch

72" Xtreme Duty Brush Cutter with 75HP Gearbox and slip clutch


Check out the video below. Let us know what you think!

How about showing some close-ups on the cut stumps left behind?

That 72" looks like a beast! :)

With those lo HP gearboxes you better not do much tree cutting. 60" with 100HP+ gearbox will cut trees.

I'm mainly interested in keeping hardwood saplings in check. I rip everything under 6" out with my grapple - takes care of the stump sprout issue. ;)

The EA Brush Cutter is not a tree cutter, but we know that people are going to push it beyond it's rating.
Ted pushed the limits of the cutter in the video to see what would happen. This helps us find potential weakness and we hope it's fun and helpful for you guys to watch!
I think it took the punishment like a champ, but doing that everyday would probably not end well.

Thanks Jim!
I'll try to get some pics for you.

The underneath of the cutter is just as tough as the outside. Here are some eye opening photos of the underneath of our cutter in yellow(of course) compared to a big name cutter in orange.

This is something that really isn't talked about. Why? Out of sight, out of mind.


Front of the deck. Notice where the top deck is welded on ours.

Rear of Deck. Notice the joints on top and on the side.

I see separation

Middle of Deck. That's a long span.

Side Skids....These take a beating! Solid welds and standard shoes on the ETA.

This pretty much covers it.
