Compact Excavator Attachment for Maintenance Mowing: "SLASHBUSTER"® XL460

"SLASHBUSTER"® XL 460  product shotright rear view of the XL 460 attachment

The XL 460 maintenance mower has blades with free swinging tips that swing (or "flail") back to absorb the impact of larger material rather than stalling or damaging the blade. This flail blade design makes the XL460 attachment an excellent performer on compact (3-10 ton) excavators.

Detail of the flail blade design

Featuring a 46 inch tip-to-tip cutting swath rotating at up to 800 rounds per minute, this model is most effective in mowing lighter material less than three inches in diameter. Although the XL460 has the capacity to occasionally mulch larger material it does not have the same capability of our larger models mounted on larger excavators.

With a standard automatic wire shear to help avoid tangles with abandoned wire and a rotating hub debris guard to help prevent contamination of the bearing housing, the XL460 is a durable yet lightweight (750 to 850 lb) brush cutter with triple-welded T-1 steel construction. Simple regular maintenance such as blade sharpening and daily greasing is all that is required to ensure years of productive service on your compact excavator.
