Brush Cutter

Clearing brush is easy with the Alpine Magnum stump grinder. Because this machine utilizes a 4800 rpm cutting head and sharp carbide-tipped teeth, the Magnum can cut through brush and undergrowth in seconds.

In the top picture opposite the basic machine plus Trenching Kit (Steel or Aluminum leg) is being used to prep an area for development. While the Magnum can't compete with a bulldozer for sheer speed, it can remove brush from sensitive work environments near houses and on the edges of prepared grounds such as cemeteries and golf courses. You wouldn't dream of hauling a bulldozer over well maintained turf like that, but at only 40 kilos (88 pounds), the Magnum is more than ready for the job.

Portability and Versatility

Because of its lightweight brushing leg, the Magnum outperforms the traditional brush removal tools of the landscaping community - the chainsaw and the strimmer-style brushcutter. Chainsaw blades dull too quickly when clearing brush and holding a chainsaw near ground level is tiring and risks back injury.

The Magnum's brushing leg allows you to cut a precise swath of brush, and then advance the machine as you clear out more. This means less wasted effort and greater safety while cutting.

The ‘strimmer’ type brushcutter can be used to cut down to nearly ground level, but balks at larger stumps and protruding roots.

The Magnum can be used to clear below ground level when required, resulting in a much cleaner finish and suppressing grow-back.

The Magnum’s balanced suspension lets you trim the brush in any location with a minimum of effort. Usually when cutting brush, you encounter a mixture of growth including plants, dead branches, live sapling trees, and stumps. The Magnum is the only tool that can tackle all of these very different types of growth without having to switch tools. This means savings in time, as well as eliminating the need to transport several different machines to and from your job site.

Trailblazer
