The AGT Industrial Skid Steer Brush Cutter (Model: AGT-SSRC72) is a robust attachment designed for efficient land clearing and brush management. This product manual provides comprehensive information for operators, covering everything from product introduction and safety precautions to installation, handling safety, and warranty details.
The AGT-SSRC72 is a direct-drive brush cutter attachment for skid steer loaders. Its primary function is to cut and clear various types of vegetation, including shrubs and brush, making it suitable for land maintenance, agricultural applications, and property clearing. The direct-drive system, coupled with a one-way check valve hydraulic motor, ensures powerful and consistent cutting performance. The design incorporates front-opening mowing capabilities and utilizes alloy steel blades, which are specifically chosen for their effectiveness in cutting through tough brush. The inclusion of replaceable blades simplifies maintenance and ensures continuous operation without significant downtime.
The brush cutter is designed for ease of use and integration with compatible skid steer loaders. It comes equipped with hydraulic hoses and 1/2" flat-faced couplers, facilitating a straightforward connection to the loader's hydraulic system. The installation process is detailed, emphasizing the importance of proper attachment to the skid steer mounting plate and secure connection of hydraulic lines. Operators are instructed to ensure that the skid steer's lever lock switch engages and locks the pins into the attachment flange, or to manually push down the latch handles until the lock pins extend. The manual also highlights the importance of connecting the attachment hydraulic hoses and, for SBCNS models, the case drain hose, to the auxiliary supply couplers on the skid steer loader lift arm.
For initial operation, a specific procedure is outlined to prepare the brush cutter and the skid steer. This includes checking the hydraulic oil level, activating the skid steer's auxiliary hydraulic system at just above idle RPMs, and cycling the boom and cutter tilt to purge air from the system. The brush cutter should be allowed to run for 30 seconds for this purpose before turning off the hydraulic flow and allowing it to stop completely. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the hydraulic system. The design includes skid rails that run along the entire mower deck sides, providing stability and protection during operation. The manual strongly advises against operating the brush cutter without the case drain hose attached, as excessive hydraulic pressure could damage the seals. Operators are also cautioned to maintain a safe driving speed, typically between 2 and 5 mph, to ensure effective and safe cutting.
The AGT-SSRC72 is designed for years of dependable service, provided that routine maintenance procedures are followed. The manual includes a detailed maintenance schedule, outlining tasks to be performed before each use, weekly, and yearly. Key maintenance tasks include checking the skid steer loader hydraulic fluid level, inspecting all fasteners (nuts, bolts, washers, pins, keepers) for tightness, and replacing any worn, torn, or missing safety decals. Regular inspection of the hydraulic plumbing, including hoses and connectors, for damage or leakage is crucial, with instructions to repair or replace any damaged items.
A critical aspect of maintenance involves checking the condition of the cutter blades, with recommendations for sharpening or replacement as needed. The manual also specifies checking the oil level in the bearing housing and adding fluid if necessary. Oil changes for the bearing housing are recommended after the first 50 hours of use, and subsequently every 1000 hours or yearly. General upkeep includes washing the brush cutter and inspecting it for major scratches and dings. Areas with rust damage should be sanded and repainted using paint formulated for farm equipment. Lubrication of all pivot joints is also a regular maintenance requirement.
For storage, the manual provides tips to ensure the brush cutter remains in good condition, such as cleaning it of debris, dirt, grime, and grease, storing it in a dry shed or garage, and covering it with a weatherproof tarp when storing for the season. Special instructions are given for blade holder removal, emphasizing the release of hydraulic system pressure from the auxiliary hydraulic circuit prior to removal. The manual also includes an inspection checklist to be completed before every use, ensuring that any issues are addressed before operation to prevent damage or accidents. The manufacturer provides a one-year warranty and offers after-sale service support for any problems encountered.
