🌿 What it is
Unlike a finish mower or reel mower, a brush mower uses:
- One or two large heavy blades
- A heavy steel deck
- PTO-driven gearbox
- Category 1 or Category 2 three-point hitch
Its purpose is to cut:
- Tall grass
- Dense weeds
- Brush
- Small saplings
- Field overgrowth
👍 What it’s good at
✔ Land clearing
A brush mower is one of the best tools for:
- Abandoned fields
- Overgrown lots
- Farm boundaries
- Roadside vegetation
- Orchard cleanup
✔ Handles woody growth
Depending on the model, many brush mowers can cut:
- Thick weeds
- Blackberry-type growth
- Brush
- Saplings up to 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) in diameter
✔ Fast on large areas
Common sizes:
- 4 ft (48″)
- 5 ft (60″)
- 6 ft (72″)
- 7 ft+
- 10–15 ft batwing models
allow rapid clearing of large properties.
