The Baumalight CF360-M650 is a heavy-duty, closed-front hydraulic rotary brush cutter attachment built for high-flow skid steers and engineered to power through dense vegetation, thick weeds, heavy grass, and small trees with exceptional efficiency. The CF360 designation identifies the closed-front 60-inch cutting width design with a 70-inch overall path width, while the M650 suffix indicates Baumalight's highest-flow roller-vane motor option available for this series — optimised for skid steers delivering 20–40 GPM. Manufactured in Canada and backed by Baumalight's dealer network across North America, the CF360-M650 is the top-specification motor choice for operators running large-frame, high-output skid steers who demand maximum clearing performance from a 60-inch brush cutter platform.

The M650 motor configuration unlocks the full power potential of the CF360 frame, making it the right choice for operators whose carriers push beyond the range of the M550. Like all CF360 models, the drive system centres on a bevel gearbox rated to handle up to 90 HP, which isolates the hydraulic motor entirely from the mechanical cutting shocks generated during heavy-duty clearing — a critical advantage over direct-drive designs that transmit those forces directly to the motor. The reversible AR400 slasher blades deliver two distinct cuts per pass — the curved leading tip takes the first slice, immediately followed by the second tip — producing 26–52 slashes per second and reducing dense brush and small-diameter trees into fine mulch in a single forward pass. The 1/4" steel deck is purpose-built to endure the punishment of rough, rocky, and uneven terrain that defines real-world land clearing environments.

The CF360-M650 includes the full suite of Baumalight's standard protection systems. Heavy-duty link chain curtains are fitted front and rear — standard on the entire 300 series — with a weld-free curtain rod design that allows chain links to flex and absorb high-speed debris impacts rather than transferring stress to fixed weld points, resulting in longer curtain service life. All hydraulic hoses are enclosed in Baumalight's Hose Armour coiled wrap system to shield them from punctures by branches and jagged debris during aggressive clearing. Two important compatibility requirements apply to the M650 motor: first, a case drain line (third hydraulic connection) must be routed back to the carrier's hydraulic reservoir to safely vent motor housing pressure and protect the motor seals; second, Baumalight does not include quick-couplers on high-flow M650 configurations, meaning operators must source couplers that match their specific skid steer's hydraulic block before putting the unit to work.

Features & Benefits

• M650 High-Flow Roller-Vane Motor — Baumalight's highest-flow motor option for the CF360 series, optimised for skid steers delivering 20–40 GPM — ideal for large-frame, high-output carriers that would under-utilise the M450 or M550 motor configurations.
• Case Drain Required — The M650 motor requires a third-line case drain connection routed back to the hydraulic reservoir to safely manage motor housing pressure and prevent seal failure; always verify your carrier has this line available before ordering.
• No Quick-Couplers Included — High-flow M650 configurations do not ship with quick-couplers; operators must source couplers specifically matched to their skid steer's hydraulic block — confirm coupler compatibility before purchase.
• 90 HP-Rated Bevel Gearbox Drive — The bevel gearbox handles up to 90 HP and fully decouples the hydraulic motor from cutting impact shocks, dramatically extending motor life compared to conventional direct-drive brush cutter designs.
• Two Cuts Per Pass — 26–52 Slashes Per Second — The curved cutting tips of each AR400 slasher blade deliver two distinct cuts per pass, with the leading tip immediately followed by the second tip, producing up to 52 slashes per second for fast, efficient mulching of dense brush and small trees.
• AR400 Reversible Slasher Blades — Crafted from 1/4" AR400 steel, the unique blade profile increases cutting surface area and the thin reversible profile continuously presents a sharp cutting edge, reducing replacement frequency and downtime in the field.
• 2-Way Rotor Assembly — A durable one-piece rotor constructed from a single 3/4" steel plate with a slasher blade on each end delivers up to 26 slashes per second in the standard 2-blade configuration.
• Closed-Front Design with Dual Chain Curtains — Front and rear heavy-duty link chain curtains are standard on the 300 series, with a weld-free curtain rod design that allows chain links to flex and absorb impacts — delivering longer curtain service life than welded alternatives.
• Built-In Hydraulic Relief Valve (3,000 PSI) — Standard on all CF360 models, the relief valve disengages the driveline when system pressure exceeds 3,000 PSI, protecting both the carrier machine and the brush cutter from overload damage.
• Hose Armour Protection — Standard coiled hose wrap encloses all hydraulic lines, protecting them from punctures caused by fallen brush, branches, and tree debris during aggressive clearing operations.
• Anti-Binding Blade Mount System — Grade 8 bolts capped with castle nuts and cotter pins secure the blades, while the fully welded collar drops the blade slightly to reduce binding during operation through dense material.
• Universal Skid Steer Mount — Uses the universal skid steer mounting plate for fast, tool-free connection to a wide range of skid steer brands within the supported carrier weight range.
• Heavy-Duty Output Shaft Shield — Protects the output shaft from impact and contamination caused by debris during brush clearing operations.
• Anti-Slip Entry Strips — Provides extra traction for improved safety and ease of entry and exit from the cab when mounting or dismounting the carrier machine.
• Free Replacement Blade Set Included — Every CF360 ships with a complimentary set of replacement blades secured to the wooden shipping skid — ready for use when the originals wear.
• Locally Available Parts & Right-to-Repair — Designed with industry-standard components so bearings, seals, and wear parts can be sourced locally; supported by Baumalight's service and instructional video library.
• Durable Powder-Coated Finish — Heavy-duty construction paired with a durable powder-coated finish for long-term corrosion resistance in demanding outdoor environments.
