ABSTRACT:
The brush cutter (10) includes a rearwardly positioned tractor (11) and a forwardly positioned cutter assembly (12). The outboard rectilinear cutting blades (49 and 51) rotate in their forward arcs toward each other and toward the longitudinal plane (28), so as to urge the cut vegetation inwardly toward the adjacent blades for mulching. The leading skirt (31) of the cutter deck (30) is positioned forwardly of the blades so as to engage and bend the taller brush and young trees in the direction of movement of the brush cutter before the lower portions of the vegetation are cut, thereby inducing the vegetation to fall in the path of the brush cutter, so that it is overrun by the brush cutter and mulched.
