The skid-steer brush hog is a heavy-duty rotary cutter. It's the fastest and cheapest way to open up light growth so you can see what you've got: grass gone to weeds, briars, and saplings under 2 inches.
It cuts the growth off and leaves it lying. It will come back, so plan on a second pass or regular bush-hogging. If what's growing is thicker than that, the brush hog isn't the right tool, and the estimator won't offer it.
Best for
- Pasture upkeep
- Fence rows
- Opening a lot before you decide what to do with it
- Keeping a field you reclaimed from going back
Thicker than 2-inch stems? That's a forestry mulching job.

Before you call
Will the brush hog handle cedar or privet?
Not if the stems are past about 2 inches. That's a disc or drum mulcher job, and if your photos show it, the estimator won't offer the brush hog.
Will it come back?
Yes. The brush hog cuts growth off and leaves it lying, so it will want a second pass or regular bush-hogging. Mulching sets it back much harder.
Can you work steep or rough ground?
Tracked machine, so rolling ground, rocky glades, and moderate slopes are normal work. Genuinely steep banks and soft creek bottoms are a judgment call we make on the walk-through, and they add to the price because they slow us down.
How accurate is the online estimate?
It's a range from your photos and the area you mark, and on most jobs the final price lands inside it. The walk-through is free and is where we give you the firm number.
