The Baumalight CF572-M650 is a commercial-grade, high-performance open-front rotary brush cutter attachment built for high-flow skid steers and engineered to power through the most demanding land clearing applications — dense vegetation, thick brush, and small trees — across the widest open-front cutting platform in Baumalight's standard skid steer brush cutter lineup. The CF572 frame delivers a 72-inch cutting width with an 82-inch overall path width on a rugged 1/4" solid steel deck, while the M650 roller-vane motor designation identifies it as Baumalight's highest-flow motor option for this series — designed specifically for carriers delivering 20–40 GPM. This makes the CF572-M650 the definitive top-specification configuration for operators running large-frame, high-output skid steers who need maximum clearing width, maximum motor power, and open-front felling capability all in a single attachment. Manufactured in Canada and backed by Baumalight's dealer network across North America, this attachment is purpose-built for sustained commercial land clearing, forestry work, trail development, ditch maintenance, and large-scale construction site vegetation removal.

The open-front design of the CF572-M650 is the core engineering decision that makes it so effective on standing vegetation. Rather than forcing tall brush and saplings through a restricted front opening, the fully open mouth bends taller material forward directly into the path of the four spinning blades — enabling clean, continuous forward felling without material piling or stalling at the entry point. The double arch push bar reinforces this by funnelling standing overgrowth and heavy brush down and underneath the deck toward the rotor, maintaining a constant feed of material through the cutting zone. Driven by the M650 motor at 20–40 GPM, each of the four hardened AR400 steel 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 dense vegetation and trees to fine mulch. The heavy-duty bevel gearbox, rated to 90 HP, physically isolates the hydraulic motor from the sharp impact forces generated during heavy felling, protecting it from the mechanical shock loads that destroy direct-drive setups — a protection that becomes even more critical at the M650's elevated power and torque output.

Baumalight's full suite of standard protection and reliability systems are carried through on the CF572-M650. 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 damage. The rear of the unit is fitted with a heavy-duty chain curtain on a weld-free curtain rod setup, allowing chain links to flex and absorb high-speed debris impacts freely without transmitting stress to fixed weld points — significantly extending curtain service life. All hydraulic hoses ship with the unit and are protected by Baumalight's Hose Armour coiled wrap system. Two critical compatibility requirements apply specifically to the M650 high-flow configuration: first, a mandatory case drain line must be routed back to the carrier's hydraulic reservoir (max 100 PSI case pressure) to prevent excessive back-pressure from destroying the motor seals; second, high-flow M650 units ship with hoses but without quick-disconnect couplers — operators must source couplers specifically matched to their skid steer's hydraulic block before the unit can be commissioned.

• M650 High-Flow Motor — Top Specification for the CF572 Series — Baumalight's highest-flow roller-vane motor option for the CF572 platform, optimised for skid steers delivering 20–40 GPM — the definitive choice for large-frame, high-output carriers that would under-utilise the M450 or M550 configurations.
• 72-Inch Open-Front Cutting Width — 82-Inch Path — The widest open-front skid steer brush cutter in Baumalight's high-flow lineup, maximising clearing coverage per pass on open land, overgrown fence lines, ditch maintenance, trail development, and large-scale construction site vegetation removal.
• Open-Front Design for Continuous Forward Felling — The fully open mouth bends taller brush and saplings forward directly into the path of the blades — enabling clean, continuous forward felling without material piling or stalling at the entry point — significantly more effective than closed-front models on standing vegetation.
• Double Arch Push Bar — Funnels 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 during aggressive forward passes.
• Three-Hose Hookup Required — The M650 motor requires a pressure line, return line, and a mandatory case drain line (max 100 PSI case pressure) routed back to the carrier's hydraulic reservoir; operating without the case drain risks destroying the motor seals — always confirm your carrier has this connection before ordering.
• Quick-Couplers Not Included — High-flow M650 units ship with hoses but without quick-disconnect couplers; operators must source couplers specifically matched to their skid steer's hydraulic block — confirm coupler compatibility before purchase.
• 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 M650's elevated power and torque output where impact forces are at their highest.
• Two Cuts Per Blade Pass — The specialised curved tip profile of each AR400 slasher blade delivers two distinct cuts per pass — the leading tip immediately followed by the second — shredding dense material down to fine mulch with maximum 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.
• Weld-Free Rear Chain Curtain — 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 Quick Attach Mount — Uses the universal skid steer quick attach plate for fast, tool-free connection to a wide range of skid steer and compact track loader brands within the 5,000–12,000 lb. 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.
