The Brushmaster Successfully Fights Forest FiresThe Kut Kwick Brushmaster mower is designed to fight forest fires. The machine reduces all undergrowth to small cuttings that lie flat on the ground. The material on the ground cannot blaze because it is deprived of oxygen. Wind permitting, there will be a low burn, burn out or smolder across most mowed areas at a very slow rate that will allow fire fighters to extinguish anything that remains with a tamp. Trees larger than 4” are left standing, however the canopy normally will not catch fire because the brush beneath it has been eliminated. The Efficiency In Forest Fire Prevention & Control Is UnsurpassedThe machine will reduce the undergrowth in typical southern forest land at a cutting rate of 1 – 1 ½ miles/hour at a 7 foot width. This equates to 1 – 1 ½ acres per hour. A single machine cutting 8 hours a day for 3 days will produce a fuel break of 1 – 1 ½ miles long by 200 feet wide. The Brushmaster operates on slopes up to 32 degrees with zero turn radius maneuverability. The Brushmaster Is Environmentally FriendlyThe cut material mats the forest floor making it passable for vehicles to travel over cut areas, which is an advantage over plowed areas. The root structure is not damaged preventing erosion and mud slides. New growth returns which is not readily flammable for about one year. Animals and birds can get to the ground to feed. They are attracted to and thrive in areas cut by the Brushmaster. People Respond Gratefully To Having Areas They See Or Use Cleared By The BrushmasterOne of the most important results of clearing with the Brushmaster is the “Beautification.” Last but not least, the appreciative public response to the “Beautification” and fire protection is of immeasurable value to the government agency that has done the work. |
Unless you have a BrushMaster®, you are not clearing land as quickly and efficiently as you could be!
- Clears 1 1/4 acres in less than one hour
- Cuts down everything except desirable trees over 4” in diameter - cutting all brush into small clippings that lay flat on the ground for appearances, rapid decomposition and for fire protection
- Clears all of the heavy brush, vines, palmettos, and small trees from forested areas – while complying with the environmental demands of protecting the larger trees for possible retention
- Maneuverable ”zero turn radius” machine that effectively clears the area, so that little or no hand labor is required
- A machine that requires very little maintenance - while providing long life
The BrushMaster® was designed by an engineer-educated, real estate developer, since the other equipment on the market simply could not perform the task. The BrushMaster® was specifically developed to clear property quickly – up to 5 times faster than the competition – leaving an attractive appearance to the land while retaining larger trees.
The BrushMaster® also works on slopes up to 32° and comes standard with a powerful 80 HP Cummins, liquid cooled diesel engine and dual hydro-static transmissions that allow the zero turn capability that is so necessary for efficient clearing. The 88” front mount, triple blade, rotary deck clears everything in its path, making this machine perfect for right of ways, parks, trails, survey lines, wildland-urban interface areas and the removal of brush for fire protection.
The BrushMaster® is so reliable that it is supported by a one year warranty.
