Brush Hog Rentals

What is a Brush Hog?

A brush hog is a type of rotary mower that is most often attached to a skidsteer. The blades of a brush hog are different from those on a conventional mower as they are not rigidly attached. 

A brush hog’s blades are hinged to allow for movement in the event of a strike on something hard like a rock or stump. This avoids damage to the brush hog.

These hinges allow the brush hog to cut through thicker vegetation with speed and efficiency. Also, the blades are not sharpened to the same level as a traditional mower as they are not intended for finishing applications. 

What Should I Consider When Renting a Brush Hog?

The main consideration will be based on what type of brush you are working with. Depending on the density, you will need to choose between the 2 types of brush hogs AC&E offers ( Extreme Duty versus Duty Brush Hog Attachments) or if a walk-behind is needed for more basic, less dense situations.
