The Baumalight CF572-M550 is a heavy-duty, open-front 72-inch rotary brush cutter attachment engineered for standard-to-medium flow skid steers and built to clear dense vegetation, heavy weeds, thick brush, and small trees up to 4 inches in diameter with maximum width and sustained commercial efficiency. The CF572 platform delivers a 72-inch cutting width with an 82-inch overall path width on a rugged 1/4" steel deck, while the M550 motor configuration targets carriers delivering 20–30 GPM — providing meaningfully greater power output than the M450 while remaining within the standard-flow range and avoiding the need for a high-flow hydraulic system. The open-front design combined with the 4-blade rotor makes the CF572-M550 significantly more aggressive on standing vegetation than any closed-front equivalent: the fully open mouth allows tall brush, woody stalks, and small trees to feed directly into the spinning rotor using a sawing action, rather than being pushed over or compressed through a restricted entry. Manufactured in Canada and backed by Baumalight's dealer network across North America, the CF572-M550 delivers the widest open-front standard-to-medium flow clearing platform in Baumalight's skid steer brush cutter lineup.

At the heart of the CF572-M550's performance is the combination of the 4-way AR400 rotor and the heavy-duty bevel gearbox drive. The bevel gearbox, rated to handle up to 90 HP, serves as the mechanical buffer between the cutting rotor and the hydraulic motor — fully decoupling the motor from the sharp impact forces generated during heavy felling passes through dense brush and small-diameter trees. This isolation is critical at the M550's elevated power output, where rotor forces and impact magnitudes are higher than in M450 configurations. Each of the four hardened AR400 slasher blades delivers two distinct cuts per pass — the curved leading tip followed immediately by the second — achieving up to 52 slashes per second at full operating speed and rapidly reducing standing vegetation to fine mulch in a single forward pass. The double arch push bar reinforces this feeding efficiency by channelling tall, heavy brush and standing overgrowth down and underneath the deck directly toward the rotor, maintaining continuous material flow and preventing stalling on large stems.

The CF572-M550 carries Baumalight's full suite of standard protection and operational reliability systems. A factory-set internal relief valve at 3,000 PSI automatically disengages the driveline if system pressure exceeds safe operating limits, protecting both the carrier's auxiliary hydraulics and the brush cutter assembly from sudden overload. The rear of the unit is fitted with a heavy-duty chain curtain on a weld-free curtain rod setup, allowing the chain links to flex and absorb high-speed debris impacts freely without transmitting stress to fixed weld points — extending curtain service life significantly. All hydraulic hoses are enclosed in Baumalight's standard Hose Armour coiled wrap system, shielding lines from punctures by jagged branches and debris during aggressive clearing operations. Proper hydraulic hookup is essential on the CF572-M550: the unit requires a three-hose setup — pressure line, return line, and a mandatory case drain line (maximum allowable case pressure 100 PSI) routed back to the carrier's reservoir — and operators must confirm this third connection is available on their carrier before ordering.

• 72-Inch Open-Front Cutting Width — 82-Inch Path — Baumalight's widest open-front skid steer brush cutter in the standard-to-medium flow motor range, maximising clearing coverage per pass on open land, overgrown fence lines, ditch maintenance, trail development, and construction site vegetation removal.
• Open-Front Design for Direct Brush Engagement — The fully open mouth allows tall brush, woody stalks, and small trees to feed directly into the spinning rotor using a sawing action — significantly more effective on standing vegetation than closed-front models where material must pass through a restricted entry.
• Double Arch Push Bar — Channels tall, heavy brush and standing overgrowth down and underneath the cutter deck directly toward the rotor, maintaining continuous material flow and preventing stalling on large stems and trunks during forward passes.
• M550 Standard-to-Medium Flow Motor — Delivers greater power output than the M450 while remaining within the standard-flow operating range, targeting carriers delivering 20–30 GPM — no high-flow system required.
• Three-Hose Hookup Required — The M550 motor requires a pressure line, return line, and a mandatory dedicated case drain line (max 100 PSI case pressure) routed back to the carrier's hydraulic reservoir; always confirm your carrier has this third connection before ordering.
• 4-Blade Rotor — Up to 52 Slashes Per Second — The 4-way rotor assembly doubles the cutting impacts per revolution compared to 2-blade models, delivering maximum mulching efficiency and throughput through dense, heavy vegetation and trees up to 4 inches in diameter.
• 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 M550's elevated power output where impact forces are higher than in M450 configurations.
• 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 and mulching throughput 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.
• Weld-Free Chain Curtain — Rear Debris Protection — 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 over the long term.
• 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.
• 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 CF572 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.
