The Baumalight CF560-M650 is a commercial-grade, high-performance open-front rotary brush cutter attachment built for high-flow skid steers and engineered to clear the most demanding vegetation — from dense undergrowth and heavy brush to standing trees up to 4 inches in diameter. The CF560 platform delivers a 60-inch cutting width with a 70-inch overall path width on a rugged 1/4" steel deck, while the M650 motor designation identifies it as Baumalight's highest-flow roller-vane motor option for the CF560 series — designed for carriers delivering 20–40 GPM. This is the top-specification motor choice for operators running large-frame, high-output skid steers who need the full power of the CF560's 4-blade open-front platform without compromise. Manufactured in Canada and backed by Baumalight's dealer network across North America, the CF560-M650 is built for sustained commercial land clearing, forestry mulching, construction site preparation, and high-volume vegetation management where maximum motor output and 4-blade cutting aggression are both required.

The open-front design of the CF560 is engineered specifically for direct, aggressive engagement with large-diameter brush and standing trees. The 60-inch wide open mouth allows operators to guide the machine directly against larger trees using a controlled sawing action — something a closed-front model cannot accomplish — while the double arch push bar funnels tall, heavy brush down and underneath the deck directly toward the four-blade rotor. The M650 motor drives that rotor at its highest available power output, with each of the four reversible AR400 slasher blades delivering two distinct cuts per pass — the curved leading tip followed immediately by the second — achieving up to 52 slashes per second at full speed. The heavy-duty bevel gearbox, rated to handle up to 90 HP, acts 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 transmitting to the motor — a critical durability advantage over direct-drive designs that carry no such protection, and especially important at the M650's elevated power and torque levels.

The CF560-M650 carries the full suite of Baumalight's standard protection and operational safety systems. Heavy-duty chain curtains are fitted front and rear on a weld-free curtain rod setup, allowing the chain links to flex and absorb high-speed debris impacts rather than transmitting stress to fixed weld points — extending curtain service life significantly. All hydraulic hoses are enclosed in Baumalight's standard Hose Armour coiled wrap, shielding the lines from punctures by jagged branches and debris during aggressive clearing. A factory-set internal safety relief valve at 3,000 PSI disengages the driveline automatically if system pressure spikes beyond safe operating limits, protecting both the carrier's auxiliary hydraulics and the brush cutter assembly. The M650 motor requires a three-hose hydraulic hookup — pressure line, return line, and a mandatory dedicated case drain line (max 100 PSI case pressure) routed back to the carrier's reservoir. Standard quick-disconnect couplers are not included on high-flow M650 configurations and must be sourced separately to match the operator's specific skid steer hydraulic block.

Features & Benefits

• M650 High-Flow Motor — Top Specification for the CF560 Series — Baumalight's highest-flow motor option for the CF560 platform, optimised for skid steers delivering 20–40 GPM — the right choice for large-frame, high-output carriers that would under-utilise the M450 or M550 configurations.
• Open-Front Design with 60-Inch Wide Mouth — The fully open front allows the blades to make direct, aggressive contact with larger trees using a sawing action — significantly more effective on large-diameter trees up to 4" than closed-front models where material must pass through a restricted front opening.
• Double Arch Push Bar — Funnels tall, heavy brush down and underneath the cutter deck directly toward the rotor, keeping material feeding continuously and preventing stalling on large stems and trunks during forward passes.
• 4-Blade Rotor — Up to 52 Slashes Per Second — The 4-blade rotor doubles the cutting impacts per revolution compared to 2-blade models, delivering maximum mulching efficiency and throughput through the densest vegetation and trees up to 4 inches in diameter.
• Three-Hose Hookup Required — The M650 motor requires a pressure line, return line, and a mandatory dedicated case drain line (max 100 PSI case pressure); always confirm your carrier has this third connection before ordering.
• Quick-Couplers Not Included — High-flow M650 configurations do not ship with quick-disconnect 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 — Fully decouples the hydraulic motor from cutting impact shocks, dramatically extending motor and gearbox service life — especially critical at the M650's elevated power and torque output with a 4-blade rotor generating high impact forces.
• Factory-Set Internal Relief Valve (3,000 PSI) — Automatically disengages the driveline when system pressure exceeds 3,000 PSI, protecting both the carrier's auxiliary hydraulic system and the brush cutter assembly from sudden overload damage.
• Two Cuts Per Blade Pass — The curved cutting tip profile of each AR400 slasher blade delivers two distinct cuts per pass — the leading tip immediately followed by the second — for maximum cutting efficiency per revolution.
• AR400 Reversible Slasher Blades — Crafted from heavy-duty 1/4" AR400 steel, the unique blade profile increases cutting surface area and the reversible design continuously presents a sharp cutting edge, reducing replacement frequency and field downtime.
• Rear Chain Curtain — Weld-Free Curtain Rod System — The free-floating weld-free curtain rod setup allows chain links to flex and absorb high-speed debris impacts without transmitting strain to fixed weld points — significantly extending curtain service life.
• Hose Armour Protection — Standard coiled hose wrap encloses all hydraulic lines, shielding them from punctures caused by jagged branches and falling 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 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.
