Brush Cutting For Trails and Access Roads
November 16, 2022
Brush cutting, also referred to as bush hogging, tractor mowing, rotary cutting, brush clearing, or heavy-duty mowing is a form of clearing light brush up to 1” in diameter. While it is primarily performed with a tractor, for steep embankments, pond dams, ditches, and narrow pathways this work is best performed using a brush hog attachment on a skid steer.
If you would like to gain access to an area of your property for trails or access roads, consider brush cutting for this job. Customers primarily choose this method for walking or hiking trails, hunting trails, ATV/UTV trails, or simply to make an inaccessible area of their property more accessible.

Preparing For Brush Cutting
Safety is always a concern where brush clearing is involved. It is always important that people and animals are well outside any projectile range as debris can travel at high rates of speed in all directions.
Brush cutting is most effective when the property is level, dry, and clear of debris and obstructions.
What If My Job Is Bigger Than Brush Cutting Can Handle?
In a case like this we recommend Forestry mulching. This method of clearing land using a single machine with a rotary drum (mulching head) equipped with steel chipper teeth to cut, grind, and shred vegetation and can be done in conjunction with brush cutting. The process leaves behind a fine layer of mulch that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This method is perfect for land clearing of trees and brush that are too large for a tractor with a brush hog.
