The Baumalight CF560-M450 is a heavy-duty, open-front hydraulic rotary brush cutter attachment built for skid steers and compact track loaders, and engineered to clear dense undergrowth, heavy brush, and small trees on rough and uneven terrain. The CF560 designation identifies the open-front 60-inch cutting width platform with a 70-inch overall path width, while the M450 motor configuration makes it accessible to a broad range of standard-flow skid steers operating at 12–20 GPM. What separates the CF560 from the CF360 is the blade count — the CF560 runs a 4-blade rotor assembly rather than 2, doubling the number of cutting impacts per revolution and significantly increasing mulching efficiency through dense, heavy material. Manufactured in Canada and backed by Baumalight's dealer network across North America, the CF560-M450 is the right choice for operators who need more cutting aggression than a 2-blade model provides, without stepping up to a high-flow hydraulic system.

The CF560-M450's performance is anchored by two key design decisions: the 4-blade AR400 rotor system and the bevel gearbox drive. The four reversible slasher blades are crafted from heavy-duty 1/4" AR400 steel with curved cutting tips that deliver two distinct cuts per blade pass — the leading tip immediately followed by the second — resulting in up to 52 slashes per second at full operating speed. This sustained cutting intensity rapidly reduces dense brush, thick weeds, and small-diameter trees to fine mulch in a single forward pass. The heavy-duty bevel gearbox serves as the mechanical buffer between the cutting rotor and the hydraulic motor, absorbing the sharp impact forces generated during heavy felling and preventing them from transferring directly to the motor — a fundamental durability advantage over conventional direct-drive designs that carry no such protection.

Operator safety and hydraulic system protection are built into every layer of the CF560-M450. The open front is equipped with a heavy-duty push bar, and a chain curtain on the rear controls debris discharge while allowing standing brush to feed freely into the rotor. The weld-free curtain rod design allows the chain links to flex and absorb impacts rather than transmitting stress to fixed weld points, delivering longer curtain service life. All hydraulic hoses are enclosed in Baumalight's standard Hose Armour coiled wrap to shield them from punctures by jagged branches and falling debris. Proper hydraulic hookup is critical on the CF560-M450: the unit requires a three-hose setup — pressure line, return line, and a dedicated case drain line — with a maximum allowable case pressure of 100 PSI. Operating without the case drain connected will destroy the motor. For best mulching results, the unit performs most efficiently when slightly rolled back, allowing optimal clearance for discharging cut material.

• 4-Blade Open-Front Rotor — Up to 52 Slashes Per Second — The 4-blade configuration doubles the cutting impacts per revolution compared to the 2-blade CF360 series, significantly increasing mulching efficiency and throughput through dense, heavy brush and small trees.
• M450 Standard-Flow Motor — Optimised for skid steers delivering 12–20 GPM, the M450 brings the full CF560 4-blade platform within reach of standard-flow carriers — no high-flow system required.
• Three-Hose Hookup Required — The M450 motor requires a pressure line, return line, and a mandatory dedicated case drain line (max 100 PSI case pressure); operating without the case drain connected will destroy the motor — always confirm your carrier has this connection before ordering.
• 90 HP-Rated Bevel Gearbox Drive — Physically decouples the hydraulic motor from cutting impact shocks, dramatically extending motor and gearbox service life compared to direct-drive designs — especially important with a 4-blade rotor generating higher impact forces.
• AR400 Reversible Slasher Blades — Crafted from heavy-duty 1/4" AR400 steel, the unique curved tip blade profile increases cutting surface area and the reversible design continuously presents a sharp cutting edge, reducing replacement frequency and field downtime.
• Two Cuts Per Blade Pass — The curved cutting tip profile of each slasher blade delivers two distinct cuts per pass — the leading tip immediately followed by the second — for maximum cutting efficiency per revolution.
• Open-Front Design with Push Bar & Rear Chain Curtain — The open front with heavy-duty push bar allows thick brush to feed freely into the rotor, while the rear chain curtain controls debris discharge and protects the operator.
• Weld-Free Chain Curtain Rod System — The free-floating weld-free curtain rod setup allows the chain links to flex and absorb high-speed debris impacts without transmitting strain to fixed weld points — significantly extending curtain service life.
• Built-In Hydraulic Relief Valve (3,000 PSI) — Standard on all CF series models, the relief valve automatically disengages the driveline when system pressure exceeds 3,000 PSI, protecting both the carrier and the brush cutter from sudden 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.
• Optimal Operating Angle — The CF560 performs most efficiently when slightly rolled back, providing optimal clearance for discharging cut mulch and maintaining consistent cutting height across uneven terrain.
• Universal Skid Steer Mount — Uses the universal skid steer mounting plate for fast, tool-free connection to a wide range of skid steer and compact track loader brands within the supported carrier weight range.
• Anti-Slip Entry Strips — Integrated anti-slip strips on the frame provide extra traction for improved operator safety and ease of entry and exit from the cab.
• Heavy-Duty Output Shaft Shield — Protects the output shaft from impact and contamination caused by debris during brush clearing operations.
• Free Replacement Blade Set Included — Every CF560 ships with a complimentary set of replacement blades secured to the wooden shipping skid — ready for immediate use when the originals wear.
• Locally Available Parts & Right-to-Repair — Designed with industry-standard, non-proprietary components throughout so bearings, seals, and wear parts can be sourced from local suppliers — minimising downtime and long-term maintenance costs.
• Durable Powder-Coated Finish — Heavy-duty construction paired with a durable powder-coated finish for long-term corrosion resistance in demanding outdoor environments.
