The Lane Shark Hammerhead Brush Cutter (Model HH4) is a patented, hydraulically articulated, multi-position rotary brush cutter designed for tractor Front-End Loaders (FEL). It allows operators to hydraulically adjust cutting angles directly from the cab to efficiently clear overgrown trails, fence lines, and ditches

Key Features & Functionality
-
- Hydraulic Articulation: Unlike older manually adjusted models, it moves from a flat home position to various cutting angles hydraulically using integrated cab controls.
- High Efficiency: The 44-inch cutting swath slices through dense underbrush, heavy brambles, and small saplings, reducing manual labor times.
- Extended Reach: The side-extension capability allows operators to cut steep pond banks, over hanging limbs, and over fences without driving the tractor into hazardous areas.
- Included Accessories: Each unit comes standard with a proprietary switch box, along with pressure and return whip hoses to connect to the tractor loader bulkhead.
- Origin: Proudly manufactured and assembled in the USA.
System & Compatibility Requirements
- Third Function Required: The unit requires a dedicated hydraulic third-function system on the front loader for operational control.
- Incompatible Setups: The system is completely incompatible with rear remotes, diverter valves, stacked valve third-functions, and standard skid steers.
- Loader Priority: Utilizing unapproved diverter setups will cause a loss of primary loader priority during operation.
- Counterweight Recommendation: Due to the 550 lb offset weight, it is highly recommended to use rear wheel ballast or heavy rear implements to maintain stability while the cutter is extended.
